Here Come the Belgians!

Dirt Quake USA is filling our thoughts, but bubbling on the background is the mighty Dirt Quake III. We've had more interest than ever before at this stage. Some classes are close to selling out.
We have some great sponsors, to be announced soon, and rider delegations from all over Europe: Germany, Netherlands, Italy, France, Switzerland AND Belgium!

Four Belgian chopper hounds - including long-time supporter of Sideburn, Bram Chopper Baron -  (above, shot by BP for GKM) have all been infected by the dirt bug and have been riding these converted road bikes on regular Sunday sludge sessions. They're coming to compete in the Street Tracker/Street Scrambler class this summer.

Dirt Quake III
July 18-19
King's Lynn, Norfolk, UK

The saying 'Here Come The Belgians' was coined by Stuart Hall, a former British National treasure and BBC stalwart (now a convicted paedophile currently serving a prison sentence for a string of sexual offences. He introduces the clip below.). Now, we're not in the habit of promoting the work of known sex offenders, but It's a Knockout (Jeux Sans Frontiers, for the European Cup editions) was essential viewing when I was a kid. It is part of the DNA of Dirt Quake, and this clip brings back great memories for me.
