Between the races in Madrid they had some dirt demos. Chosen ones were Sergio Layos, Naran, his buddy, and the Lacondeguy bros. They did not have much space to show what they got but the 6 meter first double followed by the trick set was used to entertain the crowd. Although the race was spectacular itself, the people loved the 3-whips, double whips, backies, fronties, superman flips and other moves that the Spanish riders brought. Some kind of contest was made out of it and I believe Sergio won it. Ariba! 
On March 27th, overall 61 teams with 122 riders made their way into the Halle 5 in Mainz/Germany to compete at the T-Mobile Local Support Dirt Challenge for financial spot support and the qualification for the T-Mobile Extreme Playgrounds in Duisburg. For many riders the indoor trails were the first possibility to ride on dirt in 2010. This chance and the new built setup were the reasons for many riders from Czech Republic, France, Austria, Poland and Switzerland to join the German dirt jump scene at the contest. The pros blew it up with 360-doublewhips, frontflips and some flipwhips. Team „Fight for Mellowpark“ with Kevin Liehn and Sven „Sprosse“ Lehmann from Berlin took the win. Team „Pingoo“ with Yannik Granieri and Jean-Baptiste Peytavit came in second. So 3.500 € spot support will be used for the rebuilding of the Mellowpark, 500 € go to Lyon in France.
