Started out in 2010 Dirt wars UK has gone from strength to strength to become the UK’s leading Dirt Jump Series.
Every year we have managed to better the last year even with the British weather against us! In 2015 we topped everything we had done before by hosting a round not only at NASS (The National Adventure Sports Show) but also our series final at The Cycle Show at the NEC alongside the Monster Energy Sam Pilgrim Big Air Invitational.
Our aim is to give European riders the best British venues, with a variety of different jump styles, not only to test the rider’s ability through out the season but also to create the best possible action at the competitions
WE are also stoked to announce that we will be hosting all of our rounds this year as part of the Freestyle Mountain Bike World Tour (FMBWT) for the second year running. All 5 rounds of DWUK will be hosted as FMB Bronze events as The British National FMB Freestyle Series.
All Licensed Riders will gain points on the FMB World Tour towards their World Rankings as well as Team Points if they are a registered FMB Team. Check out our FMB Dirt Wars Webpage @ http://www.fmbworldtour.com/en/Events/National-Series/DirtWarsUK.html
We are always proud to say our series has been and still currently backed by some of the biggest names in the MTB Industry.
