“Masters of Dirt Vienna 2012 - Fuelled by Monster Energy”

The special anniversary edition “Masters of Dirt” show brings the World’s top Freestyle-acts to Vienna once more for 3 days of shows. (24 - 26 Feb)

Since Georg Fechter’s first show back in 2003, Vienna’s annual event has become synonymous with

the gnarliest, latest and most unusual tricks on both 2 and 4 wheels.

The world’s top athletes and the local specialist press themselves have dubbed it “the World’s Best

Freestyle Show”. Evolved from MoD’s early days as an FMX contest - it was soon clear that the riders

had a lot more to show than what was permitted by competition rule books.

This saw “Masters of Dirt” progress into a unique trend setting spectacle - delivering the latest tricks

& Freestyle innovations combined with cutting edge show elements, lots of fire and top class side acts. Consistently premiering the biggest evolutions of the sport to Austrian & European audiences, each year.

Some of the Highlights from the past 9 years’ worth of shows in Vienna:

First Backflip on a Motorcycle (Oystein Kjorstad)
First Quadbike Backflip (Jon Guetter)
First Minibike Backflip (Travis Hart)
First Snowmobile Backflip (Justin Hoyer)
First Motorcycle Double Backflip (Scott Murray)
First Motorcycle Frontflip (Paris Rosen)
First Motorcycle 360 (Remi Bizouard)
First Motorcycle Body Varial (Ilka Salo)
First Minibike Tandem Backflip

Over the last decade History was also rewritten in the Vienna shows by our star

studded BMX and Mountainbike cast, including:

First Frontflips
First Doubletailwhip-Flips
First Triple Tailwhips
First 360 Backflips
First Double Backflips
First Double Frontflips

...all of which got the audience to their feet, old and young

and has had them streaming back each year as they

have witnessed the sport’s unbelievable progression first hand!

The side show acts evolved too. First the old school cheerleaders departed and were replaced by the smoking hot “Fuel Girls” from the UK. Then the incredible “Drumatical” and Fire Artists “Jost” helped take the show to the next level. Last year the breathtaking pyro show from Austria’s own Pyro World Champions brought some extra heat to the mix. All magically tied together by the musical wizardry of MoD’s resident “DJ Mosaken”.

Those who think they have seen it all can think again, because the 2012 edition of

“Masters of Dirt” - our 10th anniversary show - will top all that has come before!

Some of the special acts that will be unleashed in Vienna are:

First Motorcycle Tandem Backflip
First Big Air jump over the FMX ramps in a Motorcar - WITH a caravan behind it!
First Double Backflip Tailwhip on a BMX
The World’s Best FMX, BMX, Snowmobile & Mountainbikers with the latest & greatest tricks
We removed the entire East Grandstand to give a larger floor space - allowing even bigger jumps than before!
Currently over 70 top Athletes, Artists and Show Acts are confirmed
All the best tricks, riders and action from previous years plus more +++

Expect nothing less than Next Level Action at our tenth anniversary show! - See rider Line-up below -
