A while back Dirt Wars Front man Cliff traveled down to Cornwall to meet up with Jonny and Vicki at Oldhill Bike Park just outside of Wadebridge. After a chat was had it was decided that Dirt Wars would come back to Cornwall and a new course would be built at Oldhill. We have used a venue in Cornwall before but the wind was so bad it put us off hosting another round in the county.

Fast forward a few months and Jasper Flashman, Harry Campbell and Dirt wars Cliff Barbeary (mostly Jasper) came up with a masterpiece ready for round 2.

 

On the 11th of June we took over the new jump line at Oldhill Bike Park for round 2 of the series, The sun was out and the riders lined up on the both courses ready to see who was going to be going through the qualifying stages to make it through to the final..
