The DNA remains the same
Now that it has been announced elsewhere that the iXS Dirt Masters will be evolving in the future and that, in addition to minor adjustments to the infrastructure, there will also be some changes to the programme, it's time to provide some initial information about the planned events in the trick area.Dirt jump and slopestyle events have always been part of the festival and that's how it should stay. The fact that a slopestyle contest on the scale of an FMB Gold Tour event cannot be organised every year is simply due to the extremely high costs of staging such an event. The iXS Dirt Masters Festival has shown that it can play in the world's top ten league in this discipline, and it will certainly not be the last time that a contest in this category is held in Winterberg.

As every year, the iXS Dirt Masters Festival will have a varied programme. In the slopestyle area, both new and classic contests await you with TSG Rip the Hip, the VPACE Rookies Jam and several new formats in best trick mode, including in the Bowl, which has not been used for a long time!
As in the good old days, entry to the slopestyle area is once again completely free of charge and both the whip-off line and the slopestyle line will be open to you outside of training and contest times. So in this case it's back to the roots!
iXS Dirt Masters 2025
Otherwise, you can race or watch the iXS Downhill and PROPAIN Rookies Cup as usual, the Orbea Wild Ride will delight electric fans and our pop-up events à la Puk Off, Braap Off, Bunny Hop Contest and Slomo Challenge are of course just as much a must as the BMO Best Trick Contest in the Freestyle Area! Children under the age of 10 can once again show who to watch out for in the future at the VPACE Kids Cup.
In between all the events, you can stroll through the large Expo Area as usual, shop and test products. No need to worry, you certainly won't be bored!
