There have been talks about this year's dirt course. After weeks of building and dealing with a lot of rain, only Marcus Hampl had made it through the complete set on Friday 13 July. The field of 48 riders will be cut quickly as most riders simply can't handle the terrain. The straight final (with whoever wants to ride) will be on Sunday afternoon. The course starts with a 5 meter high platform where the riders get speed to jump into a 2,30 meter landing followed by a 5 meter hipper to the right and some mighty sets.
Another hip to the right, a difficult set and a left berm leads you to some rollers, a step down and a finla set. 7 jumps, 4 rollers, 2 holes and 1 berm separates the dirty boys from the dirty men.
