Hosted by Masters of Dirt
The streets of Vienna came alive as over 100 young riders gathered for the city’s first-ever "Bike Life" Ride Out, hosted by Masters of Dirt. The event featured the special presence of renowned bike life icon Jake100 as well as Nay Nay, who traveled from London to share the unique spirit of his "Bike Stormz" collective. Also joining the ride were Masters of Dirt rider Samy Louis Fernbach and CPGANG, creating an unforgettable experience for riders and onlookers alike.
The ride kicked off at Praterstern, where the excited crowd welcomed Jake100 and embraced his message of "Bikes Up, Knives Down"—a movement promoting positive initiatives for young adults through the power of bicycles. From there, the ride meandered through Vienna’s iconic Prater park, captivating bystanders with peaceful waves of riders performing stunts and wheelies.
The scenic journey continued along the picturesque Danube River cycle path, providing the perfect stage for bike life stunts, before making its way to the city of Korneuburg, where the celebrations for the new Masters of Dirt HQ were in full swing. Here, the riders made a grand entrance at the Masters of Dirt Sommerfest, stunning the crowd of 3,000, including Masters of Dirt Founder and CEO, Georg Fechter, who said:
"I am so happy we decided to host our first ever ride out at such a special time: the opening of the new Masters of Dirt HQ !! A big thank you to Jake100 and Nay Nay for coming all the way from London to inspire the young bike life riders in Vienna! The feedback has been incredibly positive and we are already looking forward to stepping things up for our next ride out because as usual, the best is yet to come!"
The rest of the day was packed with thrilling entertainment, from the DD Trampoline Squad to Freestyle Motocross shows, making the ride out and the Sommerfest a spectacular celebration of Freestyle culture and action sports, in pure M.O.D. style!
