The guys will hit
overall seven jumps on 180 meters (about 200 yards) distance: One big step down
from the wooden starting tower, followed by four doubles – of whom the first and
biggest one features an 11 meters (about 35 feet) gap to clear – followed by a
dirt step up including a roller at its end to get again speed for the last super
booter. The riders have to go crazy anyway to secure their personal part of an
overall prize fund of 20,000 Euros for each category, mountain bike and BMX. So
watch out for the insane tricks they gonna perform!
