This is how the MOD rolls into town!

Straight away, they all are busy with their own tasks. Here, the fashion shoot is in full swing.

All the riders are here, too.

Every one of them was eager to practice to get the best of these big jumps during the show.

The practice session for the heavier two-wheeled machines went smooth. Already in the training session, we got to see some of the best FMX tricks possible.

Markus Hampl did a great job constructing jumps and always being on top of very much needed maintenance.

Nobody's wasting their time. Ryys, Adrian and Wojtek working hard to bring an intense video recap for our viewing pleasure.

While the Stadhalle is still empty, it's time for a traditional "Family Portrait".

All the humans are ready and same goes to all the machines.

It's almost time to go! The level of anticipation is reaching the maximum level.

The Fuel Girls know exactly how to warm up the crowd.

A girl with a flame-throwing gun is a typical sight at all the MOD shows.

This year's show opened with a very loud bang! Have you ever seen a buggy wheeling into an arena? The lucky ones at the MOD had that pleasure to see it with their own eyes.

A wheelie was only a teaser to what was about to unfold next. A perfectly executed backflip instantly fired up the crowd.

Jerry Myer was over the moon to stomp his signature trick in front of all these people hungry for an adrenaline rush.

The buggy set the bar really high for all the two-wheeled machines, but the guys gave it all and did not disappoint.

Edgar Torronteras' whips are jaw dropping.

Petr Andreev is not scared to bring some of the heaviest tricks known to mountain biking.

The Godziek Brothers show what's best in their trick bags. The synchro session was very entertaining.

What do you do when two bikes are too many? You simply put two fearless riders on one bike! These two are crazy in the best meaning of the word.

Without the shade of doubt, the Masters of Dirt is executed by many creative and hardworking individuals. From PR, designers, through the riders, builders, all core crew members, media to security and cooks who take care of the good mood and full bellies of everyone. But the truth is that all these good people didn't happen to be in one place by a lucky star alignment. No it's all thanks to the insane amount of passion and sacrifice of this one man, Georgie Fechter. He is the father of all this madness, which has been going strong for number of years and does not want to stop. Recently, Georgie went through a very dark patch in his life what was caused by a tragic death of the dearest of his dear friends, Arthur Magnus. This extremely sad accident devastated Georgie and surely shook the entire MOD community and beyond. However, the guys stood up high and this year's shows dedicated to Arthur were one of the best, if not the best we have had chance to witness. What went down this year in Vienna was another milestone for extreme sports fans and enthusiasts. This is why the Masters of Dirt is one hell of a thing to see.

The break time during the show doesn't lack mad stunts, either.

Nicholi Rogatkin wouldn't be himself if he didn't have something very special prepared.

This gigantic ninja drop was a truly badass move.

The big bangers session was on fire. Bienvenido Aguado Alba is the one who introduced the double front flip to freestyle mountain biking and on that night he nailed his latest dream trick - Double frontflip no hander.

Nicholi Rogatkin is not a human. This was off the charts! Can't wait to see Nicholi unleash this beast of a trick during the comps.

Snowmobiles are always fun to watch. Those superheavy machines give us thrills while watching what these crazy guys can do with them while high up in the air.

Masters of Dirt Limitless
Vincent "La Machine" Massardier has proven that he wears that nickname for a reason. Putting down this double-front flip on a BMX was one of the brightest highlights of the night.

Masters of Dirt Limitless
William Van Den Putte and his mind-blowing dabbed frontflip was off the hook.

Masters of Dirt Limitless
Maybe the older generations didn't quite catch the meaning behind movement of Williams' arms, but surely the standing ovations from the fully packed house was totally deserved.

Masters of Dirt Limitless
For the perfect ending of this already crazy night, most of the crew sought relief in the nightclub where the annual MOD party is held. DJ Mosaken was putting everybody into a great mood with all the latest dance music hit songs.
Masters of Dirt Limitless
Overall, it was a very good night and who was there knows it was worthwhile.

 @ScottStedman:
you should at least count the rotations.
  • 4 3
 @jakecallcut: lol everyone's downvoting me like I was trying to be a dick about it. I'm looking at the picture and between the frames I can only count three rotations, I'm legit curious how everyone sees 4. If he managed a 1440 then that's just super rad. I saw him do the 1080 at cworx and thought he was just throwing that trick down again.

 @ScottStedman: 10 Frames:
Frame 3=270
Frame 5=720
Frame 7=1080
Frame 10=1440
That's how I finally visualized it. Didn't think your comment was rude either. Some people must have a case of the Monday blues or something?

 A cork 1440 right?

 @Nathan-MTB: In a literal sense, it IS a 1080 Cash Roll. However there are 4 spins in there much like there is 2 spins in a reg Cash Roll. So it is a 1440 but the method he initiates the spins is in the form of a 1080 to Cash Roll out on the last 360. it wuz pree sick yo

 @jakecallcut: cashroll-twister thing is unbelievably stupid.
IDK why mtb/bmx riders start calling frontflip+360/720/1080 some strange things like cashroll/twister.
It's already name for this tricks from other action sports. Cork means backflip+360/720/1080, misty - same with a fronty.
So cashroll is misty720/frontflip360, twister is misty1080/frontflip720, and the new one - misty1440/frontflip1080.

 @alexeyter:
reductio ad absurdum (Latin for "reduction to absurdity"; or argumentum ad absurdum, "argument to absurdity") is a form of argument which attempts either to disprove a statement by showing it inevitably leads to a ridiculous, absurd, or impractical conclusion, or to prove one by showing that if it were not true, the result would be absurd or impossible.


but if you must go there... FMX guys flip-trick 100 foot ramps with their eyes closed. BMX..well we wont even go there..
