Masters of Dirt by Monster Energy
“THE REAL DEAL”
19. – 21.02.2015 in Wiener Stadthalle

The best shows MOD ever did.

With in total four almost sold out shows Masters of Dirt blew the mind of fairly 30.000 spectators away. A brand new format of the show delighted the crowd.

The people are always thinking: „You can not beat this anymore“, but somehow the crew around Masters of Dirt mastermind Georg Fechter manages again and again to surpass themselves.

More pyro and more fire! The fuel girls were heating up the intro show while DJ Mosaken was scratching his finest tunes. Additionally a giant was playing his double-guitar in composition to the drums of Dramatical Theatre. It was a breath-taking Intro which was outclassing any intro shows of the years before.

42 athletes out of 14 nations have perfected the brand new enactment.

Tricks that have never been landed before (called world´s first) were shown at the BMX and MTB section.

A world premiere was shown by 20year old Nicholi Rogatkin. As he stomped the trick for the first time ever in MTB history, he is allowed to give the trick a name: “The Twister” aka. “The twisty wizard” is born.

Nicholi Rogatkin: „Masters of Dirt – the preprogrammed insanity. All riders have shown their very best tricks during four shows. Landing “The Twister” is a crazy feeling. It was absolutely amazing!”

The choreography of the FMX-riders was just blowing your mind away with performing crazy whips and synchro jumps. The spectators were getting nuts with David Rinaldo stomping a flip double grab, Filip Podmol landing several incredible 360´s and the legend of FMX, Edgar Torronteras, was celebrated by the crowd for his performance.

An absolute climax of the show have been Tandem Freestyle Motorcross guys Antonio Navas and Rocky Florensa showing a backflip on the motorbike before the snowmobile riders were keeping nobody of the spectators on their seats with smashing backflips as well. That´s 100% Action Sport!

All in all a completely new show, which was blowing the action sports fans mind away.
