Wooooweeeee are we ever excited about this one?  Not only is the NZ Dirt Jump Open following on from last years epic Dirt Jump Fest!  But it is going to far far better than before.  Here's the scoop!

  • NZ's Top Dirt Jump Riders, including Chris Beverland, Kelly McGarry, Luke McCombie, Jared Gover, and lots more
  • 3 International Pro Riders from Team Gravity Phil Sundbalm, Andrew Taylor and one more TBC (these guys are amazing!)
  • $1500 in prize money (NZ's biggest DJ pot)
  • Awesome spectator prize of a deluxe Air NZ Mystery MTB break valued at over a $1000
  • Junior class on the saturday (with sweet Rockshox and Transition prizes)
  • George FM blasting out the tunes
  • New style based format...means bigger tricks and bigger crashes
  • Newly transformed jump lines
  • Too much to mention!!

Qualifiers for all age groups for those keen to enter are on Saturday 7th from 1pm-4pm.  $10 to try and impress a judging panel to be in the running for the big $ and prizes on the sunday.  Juniors will need to be under 17 on the day and will battle it out on Sunday morning for a set of Rockshox Argyles and a set of Revolution rims ($1500 prize pack).

We are flying up riders from the south island for your entertainment so there will be a $2 entry fee for spectators to help cover these costs.  Junior Finals start at 11am, main event starts at 1pm.

Don't forget with that entry fee you get a chance to spend a deluxe mystery weekend at one of NZ's top MTB destinations including flights, rental car, flash accomodation and allsorts of goodies.  Trust us it wont be in the North Island..hint hint!
