Last weekend Amir Kabbani’s first own dirt competition went down and it was a fantastic event. A chilled comp with a good set up of jumps. 20 amateurs and 20 pros competed, showing tricks like 360° Double Tailwhips, Frontflip No Hand, Frontflip Barspin, Supermans, 360° Backflips or 360° Double Downside Whips and more, Amir is happy and we are too!
“It was killer! Specially when we realized that the spectators were having as much fun as the riders. This moment was worth all pain we had the days before with organization!, states Amir right after the finals.
“Congrats to all the riders, the spectators and the main sponsors TSG, Mongoose, SRAM, and Seba Med who made the day as good as it turned out.”
Congrats to Bienve for his 2nd place. We are stoked to have Bienve now in our TSG pro team. Profile will be up soon.
This coming weekend Amir Kabbani invites you to join his Fade Away Session on his home spot in Boppard. Expect a great dirt contest with international pros. But if YOU love dirt biking you have the opportunity to show your talent as well. So jump on your bike and join Amir, Sam Pilgrim and more riders at the Fade Away Session.
starting at 9 am, 24th september, 2011 at Bikepark Boppard!
The winner of the 26TRIX fueled by Monster Energy at the Bikepark Leogang is called Brandon Semenuk (CAN). The qualifying took place on Friday in beautiful sunny weather. In front of a breathtaking mountain backdrop, the dirt superstars who had come to Leogang from all over the world showed tricks on an extremely high level. Just in time for the finals, the weather unfortunately turned. Even though the newly designed course was able to withstand the pouring rain relatively well, the finals had to be cancelled and in the end, the results from the qualifying decided who the winner in Leogang was. Instead, the riders showed their best moves in a spontaneous best trick contest.
Judges and riders decided together to take the qualifying results as a final ranking. Because of the bad weather forecast, the riders had been prepared for this possibility and already went full throttle in the qualifying.
The course had gone soft and muddy overnight from the rain and it was questionable whether the riders could complete their runs without risking major crashes. Fortunately, the qualifying was already carried out on such a spectacular trick level that spectators and riders did not feel cheated out of the legendary trick action expected of the contest.
It was the 2nd run that helped TSG rider Sam Pilgrim come in on 3rd place. He showed a backflip tuck no hand, 360 x-up and backflip x-up one foot. After an extremely stylish 360 tabletop, he finished his run with a backflip and 360 tailwhip.
Amir does it once again and jumps on the podium at the dirt jump contest in Solothurn last weekend. The dirt jump is part of Switzerland’s largest bike exhibition, the Bike Days. 3 titles in a row make Amir happy, who has been winning the contest for the last 3 years now.
The 3rd place goes to our ambassador Peter Henke. Congratulation!
