The Big in Bavaria Dirt Contest took place last weekend. After a very very very rainy sunday (even English natives were shocked!) the Finals were held on Sunday without any Prelims. So it was 1000% percent from the first drop-in!

If you didn´t catch the action on our Live-Webcast then you have got the chance to replay the action and have a look behind the scenes of this years BIB 2010.

And just as an apetizer: Markus Hampl, Dean Searls, Ben Hennon were ON F-I-R-E !!!

Munich, Germany June 16th, 2010 – The international BIKE EXPO tradeshow does not only host the second edition of the BIG IN BAVARIA dirt jump competition, but also an open qualifying event called GO BIG OR GO HOME in Munich.

All ambitious rookies can register for the GO BIG OR GO HOME pre qualifyer on http://www.gobigorgohome.de . The best 10 riders will make their way into the BIG IN BAVARIA comp the day after. Take your chance to compete against the pros. To get an impression, what these guys will show, please take a look on the official BIG IN BAVARA Vol.II teaser here

The BIG IN BAVARIA Vol.II turns the BIKE EXPO into the center of the dirt jump scene: The biggest prize fund in the dirt jump sport in Europe, a course featuring a big starting tower including a step down jump, a line of huge doubles and some of world’s best riders.

The list of international BMX riders that can’t wait to make their way to sunny Bavaria includes American Ricardo Laguna, Dane Searls from Australia or the British Ben Hennon and Bas Keep. Germany will be well represented by the BMX icon Markus Hampl and Simon Moratz, who surprised last year’s BIG IN BAVARIA spectators and judges with a great performance and got third in the finals.

All the ones, who want ride in Europe’s biggest Dirt Jump comp, have the chance to secure themselves one out of ten qualifying spots for the BIG IN BAVARIA by attempting the open qualifyer event: The GO BIG OR GO HOME is open for all riders that want to go big. The dirt line of the GO BIG OR GO HOME is smaller than the BIG IN BAVARIA, so it will be a nice warm up for those that qualify and will hit the big jumps. Just register on http://www.gobigorgohome.de and you are in.

If you don’t want to compete at the GO BIG OR GO HOME, the BIKE EXPO is worth a journey anyway. It’s the overall combination of the the biggest bike brands showing their newest products, the BIG IN BAVARIA Vol.II, GO BIG OR GO HOME and a diversified side program that make the BIKE EXPO the place to be for the bike industry and all dirt jump fans from July 22nd to 25th.

Check out our new clip from the Vans “Let It Ride” Bowl Contest that went down in Kortrijk/Belgium last weekend.

The bowl was build by Team Pain and is a treat.

21 riders took advantage of what this piece of art has to offer and in the end it was the UK’s Ben Hennon who took the win with some massive airs and a life-threatening transfer.

Dominik from woozybmx sent us over this amaaaazing clip of the Carhartt Ravage Tour to Grand Canaria. Its fresh out of the works and features the likes of Stefan Lantschner, Bruno Hoffmann, Owain Clegg, Ben Hennon, Hannu Cools, Arthur Dietrich, Paddy Gross, Barry Koehne and Benny Paulsen. The spots look pretty sick!

Before you press play on this baby be sure to grab yourself a beer, a bite to eat or a fresh brew - this one is 22 Min. long and worth every second of it! Dominik has done a really good job in editing and filming this one!

Ohhh … where is the sun???!!!! … I want to go to Grand Canaria!
