After the wettest start to the year possible we were really lucky to get the sunshine beating down on us for Round 1 of the DMR Dirt Wars British National MTB Freestyle Series at Chicksands Bike Park near Shefford, Bedfordshire.
The Turn out for the start of the series is always awesome at Chicksands as the riders know with the soft landing on the last they can really throw it down and reopen their trick bags after a winter of riding skate parks, indoor facility's and air bags.
As always the Open/Am Riders took to the course first for the quallie runs to knock the 20 riders down to 12.
Once all 20 riders had took their 3 runs the scores were as follows.
1st Vinney Quinell 101 Points
2nd Ollie Galviz 93
3rd Charlie Mason 89
4th Sean Coates 86
5th George Keen 86
