Quote from Cliff Barbeary Owner DirtWars UK
“I’ve attended every NASS from year one and this is looking to be the best yet. We are super stoked to have Round 3 of the DMR DirtWars UK Series at NASS for the 3rd year running and this time we’re an FMB Bronze event too. I can’t wait to see the riders shredding the course with their huge trick bags putting on a big show for the festival goers”
