40 of the world’s top riders will be descending on Britain for the London Bike Show’s Air to the Throne competition.
The event, that takes place in the Excel Exhibition Centre, is Britain’s biggest dirt jump competition and holds a silver ranking in the FMB tour. The invite only event has a stellar line up including defending champ Nicholi Rogatkin, White Style winner Torquato Testa and the UK’s Matt Jones.
If you’re in the area we’d recommend checking it out. There’s €10,000 at stake and the jumps are surprisingly big for an exhibition centre so the riders go big. Here’s the highlights from last year:
The main competition will take place 18th – 19th February will see MTB riders joined by BMX riders Scott Hamlin and James Jones testing out the course and putting on demos to warm up the crowd. Seb Hejna (from our sister mag RideUK BMX) and James Thorne will be on the mic with Kirsty Harper on the decks providing the soundtrack.
