Ray Samson won the first round of the 2010 King of Dirt series ahead of Adam Williams and Clinton Johns.

Horrendous weather almost put a stop to the competition, but the riders pulled off some special tricks despite the wind and rain.

Samson managed a 360 X-up one-footer, while second placed rider Adam Wiliams pulled a 360 double tailwhip.

Another highlight was the commentary from Ollie Wilkins and Danny Pace, who wasn’t riding due to a broken leg.

Round two of the competition takes place at Redhill Extreme in Gloucestershire on 5-6 June, with the third round taking place at BikeRadar Live on 11 July – for more information, visit www.bikeradar.com/live.
