Nass 08 was upon us this weekend and held the national King of Dirt series Round 3. 30 riders turned up to ride in the qualification rounds on Saturday 14th of June but a lot of them were disappointed when they started riding the jumps.
A lot of them arrived and thought the jumps looked cool. While padding up and getting ready were eyeing up the tricks they reckoned they could pull off on each jump. For most of the riders that changed as soon as they hit the first jump.
The roll in was ridiculously small for the size of the first jump and the riders had to use every grain of dirt they could to pedal and pump over the first double. Some of the top riders adjust well to the jumps and we saw some good tricks from some of the UK’s top names. Chris Smith showed up and was pulling, barspins and tailwhips.
Young DMR rider Sam Reynolds rode well after winning a couple of weeks before at the Wisley King of Dirt. Ricky Crompton pulled of the craziest flat spin 360 over the first jump so smoothly.
Only 12 of the 30 riders that turned up progressed in to the final as the rest of the riders pulled out either due to injury or not being able to ride the jumps the way they like to. Other riders going through include Charge bikes rider Mike Smith, 24sevn rider Daryl Brown and Curtis rider Danny Cas.
