Marzocchi has officially signed on as the title sponsor for the Airdrome, the
first large invite-only dirt jump contest in Germany in 2006 and the so far
biggest indoor dirt jump event worldwide. The Marzocchi Airdrome on December
15th will be part of "SuperCross-Over Munich", a large indoor motocross
festival with the longest indoor motocross course in Germany.
Indoor dirt jump events have been quite rare in the sport of mountain biking so
far. During the winter, it's the perfect option for all bike fans to admire
extreme tricks on a mountain bike with the maximum amount of airtime and to see
what the world best mountain bikers are able to do. The Italian suspension
manufacturer Marzocchi decided for various reasons to be title sponsor of this
winter highlight. "Marzocchi is one of the most popular manufactures for
mountain bikes and motorcycle suspension. Two activities that people usually
practice in the summer time. An indoor event like the Airdome brings all the
fans of both extreme sports together, being part of the game makes the winter
time not so long and cold!" Francesco Marzari, Marzocchi's European Marcom
Manager about their involvement at the Airdrome.
This year, "SuperCross-Over Munich" takes place in the Bavarian metropolis of
Munich for the 8th time since 1999. Last year over 20,000 spectators came to
the Olympic Hall - a location which usually hosts famous bands. Having focused
on disciplines such as Super Cross and FMX during the previous years, there
will also be a mountain bike dirt jump contest for the first time this winter.
The organizers of the event have realized the additional value in mountain
biking and therefore decided to add it to the event. Apart from the Dirt Jump
Invitational, there will be a Super Cross race and a FMX contest with motocross
legend Ronnie Renner taking place at the opening of the event on Friday
evening, December 15th.
The riders of the Marzocchi Airdrome are looking for one more podium finish to
cap off their amazing seasons. Some of them will definitely have new tricks to
show. Even though bike season in Northern Europe is already over for this year,
bikes are still in daily use in areas such as Southern California.
Kona Clump Team Riders Grant Fielder (UK), Lluis Lacondeguy (ESP), Andreu
Lacondeguy (ESP), Paul Basagoitia (USA) and Euro Clump rider Pascal
Breitenstein (CH) are going to be there.
Also there will be McCaul (USA), Goldman (USA), Dieckman (GER), Pritzel (GER),
McDermontt (UK), Hansen (NOR), Berrecloth (CAN), Watts (USA), Hatton (FRA),
Jesme (USA)...
Last year, the seats were packed on Friday night - purchase tickets in advance
now, so you don't miss the opportunity to experience the MarzocchiAirdrome live
and to see the world's best riders send it for the last time in 2006.
