There will also be a lot of other fun things to do like the ∞ Race, the Surf&Dirt Race, the Apocalypse Race, the Best European Trail Rider competition and much more!
We’re planning other different small competitions and games as well.You’ll be able to explore the trails next to the track and even learn to complete technical downhills on our trail clinics. And you can’t miss out on our group rides!
There will be stands at the location with other activities as well.
