The Dmr Dirt Wars rounds have been a bit messed up this year due to having to cancel the original round 3 (NASS) due to stupidly high winds.
Due to this we had to change round 4 to round 3 and round 4 will now be held at Holdshott on the 4th of September.
Round 3 kicked off on the 21st of August at P.O.R.C (Penshurst Off Road Club) set in the beautiful Kent countryside, The trails are all set out in a quarry on the huge bike park which also has DH Tracks, a 4x track and loads of fast flowing off road trails for the family.
With low numbers of riders at this round due to Crankworx, Birthdays, broken bikes and injury we decided to run the quallies as a seeding round for the final so that all the riders would have a chance to throw down their best tricks in the final.
After all riders had had their 3 runs with best run counting the top 3 went as follows.
1st Harry Campbell Backflip X-up one footer, Back flip Can, Frontflip Tuck no hander
2nd Ben Nolan Tuck to X-up, 360 X-up, oppo 360
3rd Jack Cardy 360 Table, Suicide No Hander, Double Truck Driver
With the Open Class out the way it was time to see what the big boys had to offer in the Pro Class and there was a Dirt wars first waiting in the bag…
Freddy Pullman came out swinging with faultless double tailwhips whilst Matt Scott could not get any more stretched with his Supermans over the last.
Kerry Pert seemed to be holding his own with amplitude that would make Buzz Lightyear jealous and perfect flips and 3’s but really couldn’t contend with Ray Samsons Flip Tucks and Flipwhips.
Ryan Nangle as always threw his 720’s to perfection but Tom Isted threw out a Dirt Wars UK first with a huge Double Backflip over the last.
With all the riders having there runs the top 3 were as follows.
1st Tom Isted Tuck No Hander, Super Flip, Double Backflip
2nd Tom Reynolds Frontflip, Superwhip, Backflip Tuck No Hander
3rd Ray Samson Flip X-up One Foot, Backflip Tuck No Hander, Flipwhip
Well done to all the riders as you all rode really well.
Big thanks to the P.O.R.C Crew, Our Sponsors, Riders, Spectators and the Dirt Wars Crew.
The next round is on the 4th of September at Holdshott trails in Hook Hampshire.
See You There.
