Amazing riding, awesome concerts and great crowds made the second stop of the Ride Further Tour into one hell of a weekend! 20 invited riders from all over the world attended the first ever dirt event at PULS OPEN AIR music festival in Kaltenberg together with 10.000 guests to watch international bands and DJs perform at the castle of the Prince of Bavaria. The latin american crew with Inaki Iriartes (ARG), Jonathan Camacho (ECU) and Victor Munoz (CL) as well as Jake Leiva from the US, Konrad Szabo and Danny Josa (HUN) and Kieran Reilly (UK) made their way to the picturesque bavarian town to ride the dirts together with local shredders like Chris Haas and Chris Halbritter right in the heart of the festival. Tom van den Bogaard (NL), Moritz Löwentraut (DE),

Alessio Tonoli (CH) and many more joined, bringing about a great mix of different riding styles and making the contest unique and enjoyable with a laid-back vibe and a great athmosphere throughout the weekend.

The 12 finalists shredded the jumps with tons of steeze mixed with stylish tricks. The first place went to Jake Leiva (USA) for his runs with a decade to 360 and a backflip doublewhip followed by David Godziek (POL) with an amazingly clean run including a massive cashroll and Tom van den Bogaard who blew everyone’s mind with a 360 triple downwhip on first try. Victor Munoz delivered the cleanest superman seatgrabs of the day, Jonathan Camacho showed off stylish double whips on the last jump and Danny Josa would have definitely won in the category of “steeziest motorwhips”. Alessio Tonoli (CH) and Moritz Löwentraut (DE) showed of an amazing Nacnac “battle” and local hero Christian Halbritter landet his first contest front flip.

After lots of champagne at the prize giving there were tons of concerts to enjoy as well as the after show party lasting well into the early hours of the morning! All in all the weekend had everything you could ask for and we’re looking forward to the next stop at Munich MASH!

See you there for some incredible street riding from 22. - 24. June!
