Photo Epic: Dirt Wars Finals from The Malverns Classic

On Sunday at The Malverns Classic the Dirt Wars Pro Final took place.

Josh Crosswell focused on the first hit

A big 360 for Josh Crosswell

Fin started his run with a flat drop 360 off the start ramp

Then a big back flip no hander

Just a 13-year-old throwing corked 720s - nothing to see here over the last of the set of jumps

Got to love massive flat 360s

Josh Crosswell sending a massive tail whip

Not the run Achill Sweeney wanted, but still time for a cheeky no footer

Effortless 360

Jordan Clark snuck in a rebel run of his own to try and nail the elusive triple tail whip

After a crash Josh Crosswell was quick to check on Jordan Clark, it's amazing to see the respect between these riders

Jordan Clark couldn't quite make the landing on his second run when he was attempting a triple tail whip

Jake Atkinson had already secured the Dirt Wars series win and was out to push that lead further

Finn Davies opted for the sit down approach to landing on the final jump as he attempted a trick he d had his eye set on for a while

Dirt War's Cliff Barbeary really stepped it up this year. The new flat drop to start really was an amazing additional feature

After a win at the Whip Off on Saturday, Cam Crozier was keen to add the Dirt Wars win to his collection

Nerves were showing in the moments before drop in with the biggest crowd of the year waiting the other side of the first drop

After suffering knee injury previously, Wig Lewington-Booth had another crash straight off the start drop

The judges had the perfect view of the dirt jumps

Thankfully he managed to walk away and completed his final run

Truckdriver fun

It was a steep push up to the top of the dirt jumps, but gave riders time to work out their next run

As the runs progressed and the tricks got more and more insane the riders worked up the crowd

The Malverns Classic's Si Paton was on hand dishing out the merch to the crowd

Even though he d completed his three runs Finn Davies headed back to the top in another bid to complete the coveted front flip but this time he landed it - I think he was as shocked as everyone else

Fin did a few rebel runs to send his first ever front flip in competition

and the riders went mad

As Finn landed his first ever front flip his friends ran to celebrate with him

This is how much it means to these riders achieving tricks for the first time in front of crowds

Looks like a session

Jordan Clark is the British version of R-Willy, as it looks like being a scooter rat at first is the best way to become a decent DJ.... kids take note- learn flips, aerial rotations (off axis etc), to get your bearings first and then rip it on a bike!

Front flip celebration with bros was priceless.
