They will be taking 6 riders for the Triple Jump and 6 for the Best Trick contest. Below you can find the info on how to get your shot and who is already pre-qualified.
“This is your chance to be part of history. From the creators of Nitro Circus, the Nitro World Games is coming to Rice-Eccles Stadium, in Salt Lake City on July 16th.
Next week will see an ‘Open Qualifier’ event, just for BMX, where they will welcome any professional rider to take part, riding the exact set up for the World Games, to attempt to qualify for the games.
A brainchild of Travis Pastrana and Mike Porra, the Nitro World Games is all about progressing action sports to new heights. The event in Salt Lake City, creating history along the way, will be an exclusive 3-hour show, broadcast live on NBC.
There are 2 separate BMX disciplines to be involved in, the Triple Hit and Best Tricks. Best Tricks will be familiar to everyone who has seen a Nitro Circus show, a 50 foot drop in to a 40 foot mega ramp. The Triple Hit is 3 back to back Box Jumps, each with an 18 foot gap, and will be judged on the best 3 tricks in a run.
This is not for the faint hearted so you need to be a serious rider to consider registering for the open qualifier.
Here is everything you need to know about the Open Qualifier:
Best Tricks – 15th June
Triple Hit – 16th June
The qualifier is based in South California, once you register we will update riders on the location.
Note: There will be practice sessions running on Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th June, from 9am to 5pm each day. Riders are welcome to attend these, which offers a perfect time to get used to this incredible set up.
