The first competition is the Local Support Dirt Challenge on April 21st 2007 at the Abflughalle in Grevenbroich, with the disciplines BMX and MTB Dirt Jump. Every german BMX or MTB spot can bring one or more teams, each consisting of three riders – thereby it doesn’t matter, if the rider is a pro or am, sponsored or not. The best team wins a new Local Support obstacle or gets competent or material help for their own dirt-trails. Furthermore there are other top prizes, like a complete organized BBQ for the team and 30 friends at their local spot.
The best unsponsored BMX and MTB riders receive the T-Mobile Wildcard and go directly to the final of the T-Mobile Extreme Playgrounds on the 11-12th May at the Zeche Ewald in Herten/ Recklinghausen. There they get the chance to compete directly against international top riders like Ryan Nyquist, Kye Forte or Timo Pritzel and Grand Fielder.
