MoD just rocked the socks off of Graz!
Arnold Schwarzenegger's hometown hosted the first stop of the 2011 Masters of Dirt tour this past weekend. MTB and BMX riders were in the mix and throwing down!
Despite icy, sub-freezing temperatures both nights, MoD’s riders, dancers and crew managed to dig deep - delivering a performance that topped anything we have displayed to date.
Spanish Mountain Bike madman Bienvenido Agueda attempted the double front flip several times on Friday night, crashing spectacularly in the process. Saturday, after several more bone crunching crashes - Bienve stuck a massive double frontflip off a full size FMX superkicker. Definitely one of the weekend’s highlights.
The FMX, Synchro, Whip and Flip Progression segments saw the MoD FMX riders joined by newbies to the series Mike Metzger and Jose Miralles, who slotted in perfectly - adding their own unique styles to the MoD mix. The FMX ending in a climax featuring a run down of the biggest and baddest Backflip tricks around.
The Fuel Girls added some new sparks to the show, Jon Guetter & Justin Hoyer unveiled new tricks and flip combos to their Sled & Quad routines, whilst the Barcelona pitbike crew - Richard & Ranjer - attempted a tandem backflip both nights. On Saturday they got the full rotation, but drifted off the side of the landing and crashed pretty hard. Luckily all of the MoD crew walked away in one piece and are already preparing to add even more to the show at the Vienna tour stops in just over a week’s time.
