But the BIG IN BAVARIA is not only about the most important names in BMX. Also the dirt jumps are about to beat most of the things ever seen before. The head of course construction – BMX pro Markus Hampl – uses over 2.000 tons of dirt for 180 meters (about 200 yards) of pure riding pleasure. The course building starts in the beginning of June and the shapers will sweat for almost a month. The eight meters (about 25 feet) high wooden starting tower provides the proper speed you need for the huge doubles. Some sections of the BIG IN BAVARIA track feature two parallel dirt lines, which enable the riders to take challenging transfers. Due to an overall prize money fund of 20.000 Euros, hard battles between the riders as well as lots of airtime, the craziest tricks and the sickest combos are guaranteed.
