Antwerp City Drops is about to take place in the city Centre of Antwerp, Belgium. The Groenplaats will be the venue of a mega dirt jump set up where invited BMX dirt riders will put on a show that has never been seen in Belgium before. An 8 meter high starting ramp will send the riders to the moon twice before they hit the 5 meter high dirt quarterpipe at the end. Be

ready for flipwhips, triple downside whips, moto-whips and everything else the top guys will bring to the party town. Open practice will take place on Friday 23 September from 18:00hr - 20:00hr. and will continue the next morning at 09:00hr.

If this sounds like your cup of tea and you think you have what it takes, a few spots are available for the open qualifiers which start at 11:00hr on Saturday 24 September. The top rider will join the invited riders such as Dawid Godziek, Tom van den Bogaard, Patrick Guimez, Simon Moratz, Joe Baddeley, Kenneth Tancre, Paul Thoelen, Sem Kok and Craig Teague during the Antwerp City Drops Dirt contest at 15:00hr. The top 8 from the qualification will transfer to Sunday's final. A total of €4500,= will be divided in the final so expect the riding to get nuts on Sunday.

Saturday evening a Best Trick contest will be held at De Groenplaats in Antwerp. The winner of this event will go home with an extra €500,= making the total pro purse a whopping €5000.

Access to watch is free all weekend. Loads of Urban sport activities are taking place in Antwerp starting from 23-25 September. The party program is in check too.
