and enjoying the Bavarian lifestyle. The BIKE EXPO is the new melting pot for the global bicycle industry and the perfect chance to get the world's best pros all together. A perfect dirt line, 20.000 Euros overall prize money, a unique Bavarian flair, as well as thousands of spectators make the perfect framework for the athletes from all over the globe."To present a world class dirt line, the well experienced track builder and long term BMX pro Markus Hampl takes care of the course design: "The BIG IN BAVARIA gonna kick ass! I have 180 meters to build whatever I want to. So I made my decision for a big starting tower with a smooth step down. Six huge dirt doubles will follow, a part of this section will also feature two parallel lines - perfect for transfers. A step up - step down combo somewhere in between also offers some more diversity. I can promise you one thing for sure: there will be massive jumps giving you a lot of air time."
The BIKE EXPO is open for consumers on Saturday and Sunday, July 25th and 26th, and offers a well-packed side program. The BIG IN BAVARIA dirt line is the center of the "Park and Ride Zone", which features a bike test track for everybody, a mini ramp show, booths of the freshest dirt brands, food and beverage, as well as a big music stage. After the BIG IN BAVARIA BMX finals on Saturday evening, the visitors and riders will go off when they get to see the international music act. On Sunday, the world's best mountain bike riders will battle for another 20.000 Euros prize money on the same dirt line.
