Dealing with the strong wind was on the rider's minds all day in Serignan at the 2015 version of the Lords Of Dirt During finals it was necessary to pull off two solid runs out of three which wasn't easy with the beach flags moving like crazy on top of the big starting hill. JB Peytavit rode solid during finals and grabbed his second win in a row at the Action Sports park in France. Tech, opposite, spinning, upside down, you name it, JB got it done. Not only two times, but his final run topped it off and brought the third strong score in for the win.

Practice time was cut short for the Lords Of Dirt participants as strong winds made it difficult to clear the big line which was prepared by Markus Hampl and Patrick Guimez. But in the end, riders made it work, as usual. The suspected rain held off and after two qualifying runs each, sixteen riders made it to the finals.

The crowd stuck around in Sérignan which was easy as plenty of activities took place during the day. The skatepark next to the dirt facility was opened after receiving a new paintjob and got visitors

The elite Pro dirt jumpers have made it to France for the 2015 Lords Of Dirt, a BMX dirt jump event that brings fans together from all over the world. Under sunny conditions the Amateur class finished their qualification rounds while the pro riders got some more practice in. Among them legend Cory Nastazio (USA) and former Dew Tour champion Brandon Dosch. The jumps were well prepared by Markus Hampl, contest organizer Patrick Guimez and the BMX Passion club who are hosting the event at their BMX facility which not only has the pro line but also smaller jumps and a pump track as well as a flatland area and concrete skatepark.

Riders from all over made the trip to France. Riders from Argentina and Leandro Moreira from Brasil will take on the competition from the likes of Simon Moratz from Germany and also Harry Main stepped to the dirt today with the fair share of nerves. Park specialist Harry Main received some tips from British Ben Wallace who was keeping it smooth through the lines in France. Nitro Circus
