With the festival just around the corner, we would like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to some of our partners. GoPro is a real heavyweight and joins an absolutely top-class sponsorship portfolio.

The iXS Dirt Masters places great value on a high-quality selection of partners. We are therefore pleased that our sponsors are also proof of the festival's high profile. In addition to the many title-giving partners who make the individual competitions possible through their commitment, there are some who operate across the board. We already mentioned some of them in our first announcement, but we can now add to the list.

While Red Bull, for example, has been at the festival for more than a decade, another heavyweight in action sports is now joining them. GoPro, the leading manufacturer of action cams, will not only be present in the Expo Area, but will also be running a cool campaign to give you the chance to win a camera of the latest generation. Follow the festival's Instagram channel to find out what you need to do to enter.

And then we can also announce that Bike Mailorder has come up with something really cool. They will be playing in the freestyle arena all weekend, which will be called Platzangst Airport during the festival. In addition to various sessions with coaching, show and chill out, there will be the Bike Mailorder Best Trick Contest on Saturday. So come along, join in or just relax and watch the performers.

And if you prefer a bit more fun, you shouldn't miss the PUK OFF's, where Puky provides a modified wheel and has invited some of the biggest names in the sport. After a qualifying session, the average consumer can then compete against cracks like Tobi Miley or Marc Diekmann.
