The Dirt contest at the FISE was one of the better ones so far. It was pitch dark at night but there was little wind. The extra lamps that were connected at the last minute made for a good view for the riders and the spectators. When the crowd has been drinking for a few hours, they really like to make some noise. The vibe was good when the pros lined up for a straight final with 3 jumps counting out of 4.
Alejandro Caro from Columbia was a late entry to the event but he made his presence count. Telling from the [url=//fatbmx.com/modules/news/article.php?storyid=745]Columbian KOD report he made for FATBMX[/url], the level over there is sky high. Alejandro took care of business straight away with a great first run on the two biggest sets. His jumps included tailwhips, flips, barspins, 360-s and combinations of all of them. He was a clear winner of the Dirt contest and a happy man with the cash.
Markus Hampl came out swinging. The German did a killer superman seatgrab 360 over the last set and ended up in 2nd. Enough to treat his lady good for a weekend at the Mediterranean.
Nicolas Bertier may not do all the fancy backflips, three-sixties and tailwhips but the Peynier local does the most stretched variations of all. It's a treat for the photographers who can be way off timing and still end up with a great photo. Nothings, cannonballs, no-handers, supermans were some of Nico's contributions to the Dirt night. 3rd place.
Dropsy and BB followed Nicolas in 4th and 5th. Both had a few too many crashes in their runs to get "on the podium". The Paradise BMX dudes were SIIIICCCKK though.
You know a contest is good when after the event is over, people are still riding. This happened at the dirt contest, until the lights went out........
