On the Dirt Shed Show this week we're joined by Grant 'Chopper' Fielder, the god-father of the UK Dirt Jump and Freeride scene. As an ex-competitor and current head judge at many FMBA slopestyle, dirt jump and best trick competitions, he's the perfect guest to discuss if judged competitions are actually just bu****it!
