Festival Bike CNDirt 2016

CNDirt 2016

The CNDirt was divided into three categories; MTB Open, MTB Pro, and BMX. In the Open class, there were some young riders making their debut in competition, but also some already known Portuguese riders making a comeback. Many riders showed skills and tricks good enough to take the win, but André Grácio was first, throwing tricks like Backflips, 360s and tailwhips. Guilherme Montez came in second with his Canadian Backflips and 360 tables and in third place was Bruno Soares. There was also a female rider, Jessica Brazão.

This year the participation in the BMX class has grown in quantity and quality, Alexandro Barbero won doing big tricks like double tailwhips, decade, and 360 double whips. Mostly known for his skills in BMX street riding, Diogo Santos was very comfortable on the 360 tables and truckdrivers and took 2nd place and in third was Carlos Iglésias.
