Extreme sports take center stage
Extreme sports and extreme music are the order of the day in Roztoky u Prahy, when the fourth annual Dirt Jump competition goes off-road and airborne July 31.About 40 riders, divided into two competition categories – mountain bike and BMX – will throw out their best tricks in pursuit of a 15,000 Kč ($765) grand prize.And extreme sports aren't so extreme without the tunes to match, so an array of DJs will entertain before, during and after the competition.
Each year, the experience is always different," said Jan Kolář, aka DJ Tazz, the competition's organizer. "It all depends on the atmosphere created by the audience, having a good announcer, good riders and, of course, the weather."Dirt jumping is the practice of riding bicycles over mounds of dirt or soil with the goal of launching one's self into the air. The key is to launch high enough to perform tricks while airborne – and the more the better. Then, of course, there is the all-important landing.
