DMR Dirt Wars Round 2 Radical Bike Park 2022

With Round 1 in the bag it was on to Round 2 at Radical Bike Park in Chelmsford Essex and as always the turn out was awesome.

 

Radical always seems to provide awesome jumps and weather and this time was no different, The sun was out and the jumps were running real fast ensuring the riders were getting good airtime to unleash their tricks. The only downfall was the wind was gusting up to 28mph which was giving some of the riders a few problems whilst airbourne.

 

As always with DWUK we try to be as fair as possible so we don't run qualifiers we run seeding instead to make sure all the riders get a good days riding and a chance of taking the podium win's. We go on the fact a good rider may have 3 bad runs in qualifiers but then storm it in the finals or visa versa so we think seeding is the way forward..

Check out the Video Highlights Edit from Sam Davies to see what went down.

Well done to all our Open/AM Class Riders as you all rode amazingly well despite the wind conditions.

The Pro/Elite Class were up next and after a mad seeding session with huge bangers being thrown down it was time to re-rack the Pro/Elite riders and get their finals in the bag.

We had a few crazy moments in the finals with a few riders deserving a special mention.

Little Finley Davis pulled out a near perfect corked 720 on the last putting him in 2nd position overall and his first DWUK Podium (This is after 2 Crankworx Gold Medal wins the week before). Charlie Bowman for his 4th place in his first ever Pro/Elite Comp and Jake Atkinson pulled out the first Quad Truck Driver that's ever been done at DWUK (That's a 360 with 4 barspin's added in, Mind Blown).

With all 3 final runs taken for the Pro/Elite Riders the final standings were as follows. 1st Jake Atkinson 2nd Finley Davies 3rd Larn Baldwin 4th Charlie Bowman 5th Wig Lewington Booth 6th Josh Crosswell 7th Darren Eastall 8th Sam Berry 9th Nyasha Makusha Well Done to all Pro/Elite Riders as your all pushing the limits of our sport to the max here in the UK.
