2500 spectators witnessed 20 finalists competing on the new perfect line with eight jumps that was completely rebuilt in the pine woods with bigger sets made for high amplitude and crazy tricks. For the third consecutive year some of the best riders on the planet made their way the Peynier Trails in the South-East of France. Altogether 45 from ten nations killed the line and went for an overall prize money of 6.000 Euros – among them the worlds BMX dirt eilte like Jaie Toohey (USA), Ryan Guettler (AUS), Markus Hampl (GER), Alejandro Caro (COL) and many more.

On Saturday „Best Trick“ and 1.000 Euros price money were taken by Jaie Toohey (AUS) for a 360-Tripletailwhip. Maxime Charveron (FRA) got second with 360 Tailwhip to Barspin and Josh Stead (AUS) was awarded for Best Style – they both took home a VANS signature guitar. The probably most relaxed dirt contest of the season with perfect weather conditions was judged by Hank (UK), Andy Zeiss (GER), Patrick Haebig (AUT) and Nicolas Bertier (FRA).
