It’s the third year of the T-Mobile Local Support program and it continues to support the BMX community in Germany. This year’s highlights are again the Local Support Challenges. They start at the Abflughalle Grevenbroich with the Local Support Dirt Challenge on March 15. There will be a MTB & BMX Dirt Jump contest with separate MTB & BMX competitions as well as separate Pro & Amateur judging.
Because Local Support is still working with the idea of supporting you and your spot, the contest will be a team challenge. Every spot will send out two guys who ride as one team to win the trophy. Each of the winning BMX & MTB pro teams will receive spot support in the amount of € 4.000. The winning Amateur team gets a multi-paged report in the Freedom BMX Magazine. Of course there will be more prizes, including a BBQ Party, waiting for the other teams.

Additionally, the Local Support Dirt Challenge is the official qualification for the T-Mobile Extreme Playgrounds in Duisburg on April 20, 2008. There will be no qualification at the Extreme Playgrounds contest itself in Duisburg so the Local Support Dirt Challenges will be the only chance to qualify for this high-class event. The best three Pros and the best Amateur will be sent out to challenge the international elite such as
Kye Forte or
Ryan Nyquist for a sizeable amount of prize money.
