Pros from all around the world made it once again to Sérignan in South of France, for the third time, to celebrate the 8th edition of the International dirt contest. A new brand course more technical welcomed the PRO and Amateur riders. On Friday the riders and the large crowd enjoyed the sunny afternoon with the Max Rider best trick and we could see that the size of bike is not a problem for them!! Saturday was just amazing with the PRO qualifications followed straight by the Masters Of Dirt best tricks.Everybody was amazed about the riding level and insane new combos as this flip toboggan to no-hander to turndown by our friend Desmond Tessemaker who took 3Rd place; just behind Michael Meisel with a huge front flip tail whip, 2Nd; and Adolf Silva, the young spanish freak who took the best trick victory with a perfect double flip. The night continued with concerts and DJ set by MPC STEF who literally rocked the place as always.
Finals on Sunday went wild one more time even with the common french wind putting some of the riders into troubles. Brazilian and Monster energy killer, Leandro Moreira took the 3Rd spot with insane runs and a signature flow that all of us love! German, new trick machine, Michael Meisel took 2Nd place as best tricks the night before and showed to the scene that we’ll have to count on him for the following events.
The victory came to the french "Truc de fou" rider JB Peytavit, who impressed everybody with perfect runs and not a single mistake making him the Lords of Dirt 2014 champion. Lords of Dirt crew would like to thank all the people behind the event making it possible, another success for the international event which will take another dimension in 2015 with 3 stops in different countries!!
