As already announced, the slopestyle area of the Bikepark Winterberg will once again be used extensively this year to provide spectators and riders with the expected action. In addition to the TSG Rip the Hip and the Holy Bowl Contest, there will now be the Schwanzenwerk Progression Session.

Make some progress

New year, new luck! The iXS Dirt Masters wouldn't be the iXS Dirt Masters if new event formats didn't regularly see the light of day. The crew has always been keen to promote young talent. From this year, the 16+ age group (born in 2009 and older) will also be catered for.

The progression session is aimed at advanced riders who already have spins and flips on lock but want to develop their skills further. It is the next step for young slopestyle riders who have outgrown the Rookies Jam age and want to develop their skills further. The aim is for the riders to go home with new tricks in their portfolio. The aim is for them to reach a new level during the festival days and thus gain confidence for the contest summer. The sessions are organised and presented by the Schanzenwerk crew and their coaches Lukas Schäfer and Tom Schmitz.

But as well as expanding the trick portfolio, it's also about having a cool time. And so pros like Erik Fedko, Sam Pilgrim and Kaidan Ingersoll will also be at the action.

Don't be shy

You feel addressed? Then sign up! You don't feel addressed? No matter, come along, watch the sessions with a cold drink in your hand and push the riders and their limits with your presence!
