Mountain Bike Dirt Jumping Europe Tour 2017
Wed 15th Feb, 2017 @ 3:30 am
A big ask? Leo Gamboc wants to ride every single dirt jump in Europe while at the same time promote local riders and push the scene but he needs some help to support the project. Through crowdfunding the venture can he and Jonas Drechsler bring new talent in to the limelight?
A 20 episode on-the-road story of jumping all the dirt jumps in Europe!
The Dirt Jumping Europe Tour 2017 (1.5. – 30.9.) is a 5-month #vanlife experience of jumping all the dirt jumps with a mountain bike. With this ambitious goal, we’ll have a chance to promote riders we meet, their lifestyle, and the trails we visit. To tell dirt stories we’ll produce 20 articles, one every week, and publish them on PSBMX.com (main media partner). The articles will include a riding video, photos, and behind-the-scenes adventure stories.
Why the Dirt jumping Europe Tour 2017, and why now?
Many people get stuck in a loop and lose motivation to pursue their passion at some point in life. With “us” dirt jumpers this usually means: your local spot gets closed down, you live in a place where there is no one to ride with, you can’t get the motivation to make progress on your sessions, your bike breaks down, you need money to get to a contest, etc. That’s why I’m on the road every weekend for the last 2 years – being who I really want to be, a dirt jump bike rider and content creator.
With the MTB dirt jumping Europe tour, my project partner, filmer and photographer – Jonas Drechsler and I, will get the chance to meet as many like-minded people as we can, from all around the world while traveling in a van across Europe. I’ll write articles during the trip on a weekly basis, and they’ll each include Jonas’ video and photos. The videos will be focused on the riding and the sights we’ll visit. The articles and the photos will follow the behind the scenes life of a true dirt jumper.
