After being let down on our original venue for round 4 Dirt Wars UK Rocked up to Chicksands Bike Park on the 16th of August for another round of Dirt Jump Madness.
We have used Chicksands in the early days of Dirt Wars but it seemed to go off the map a bit in previous years due to the old Dirt Jump Crew hanging up their bikes and no longer digging or maintaining the jumps. That all changed at thye beginning of this year when Ali Dunn and his little crew started rebuilding the old comp line and shredding it over the weekends.
Anyway the turnout was good the vibe was right and we had an amazing day at the legendary Bike Park..
We started off with the open riders qualifications and with 13 riders lined up it was all set for some dirt action to go down.
Along with our usual bunch we also had a few forign riders in the mix who had travelled from Germany and Switzerland to compete in the series.
The open riders were throwing it down with awesome 360’s from Jack Ambler and Will Brock , Dom Wolfenberger hit out with BackFlip Bars spins and Harry Campbell was swinging his feet all over the shop with his No Footed Cans fully stretched.
The 13 riders battled it out with the top 8 going through to the Final.
