The international Mountainbike and BMX Dirt Jump Contest BIG IN BAVARIA will be held for the second year running at BIKE EXPO 2010.

This year marks the return of many national and international stars to the field of starters. There is no doubt that spectators will be treated to another breathtaking show.

In addition to the dirt jump course for 2010, designed to coax the highest skills from the competing athletes, the event also includes an outdoor exhibit space with plenty of booths by the most popular BMX and MTB brands.

For 2010, a pre-qualification event was added, the GO BIG OR GO HOME, a contest for ambitious young talents battling for a chance to compete with the big names at the BIG IN BAVARIA.

For more information you can go to the GO BIG OR GO HOME registration and info site here.

If you want to get an idea of what went down in last years comp then check out this clip.

See you there!

For all the people who missed the Action at the BIG IN BAVARIA Contest in Munich watch this Best of clip to give you an idea what went down and what to expect next year at the 2010 BIG IN BAVARIA.

The clip features Brandon Dosch who landed his 720s, opposite 360s, 360 double tailwhips, barspin to tailwhips and various combinations in his final runs perfectly. So without a doubt he deserved to finish up on top. TJ Ellis showed his backflips as x up one foots and superman variations, fancy cannonballs as well as huge frontflips at the last double. This meant second place for Vans teamrider.  One of the head turners was definately German rookie Simon Moratz from Freising, Germany who went big with his 360s, frontflips and backflips no handers.

The rest of the rider field also was hitting hard over the massive dirt line featuring seven jumps after a huge step down.  Mike Clark (4th/USA) was the only one who had the balls to hit the step down with backflips. There was only one more rider doing a pretty technical trick on this drop: Darren Berrecloth (5th/CAN), former BMX rider and now primary known as mountain bike freeride icon, is used to bigger gaps and had the balls to show 360s at the step down. GT rider Dave Dillewaard (6th/AUS) just ruled the line with his unique style and tricks like 360 tailwhips to tabletop, what gave him big props from the audience. Dew Tour Chicago winner Josh Hult (8th/USA) showed nice decades and huge superman tailwhips at the first and biggest double. James Foster (11th/USA) used the same booster to pull even bigger 360 tailwhips.

So. To sum it up - the comp was, apart from weather problems, a good one and you can check the highlights in this clip.  See you next year!

Yo Everybody! BIG IN BAVARIA  was a blast. The weather went a little wild with heavy showers and gusts of wind all day long but in the end, after numerous discussions between the organisators and riders the Action went down - and Action it was.
