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
