Huge jumps, a line up that´s good for any festival and standing ovations: The Telekom Playgrounds continue their way up to the top of Europe´s actions sports events. Last weekend the new season kicked off in Duisburg with an action sports contest on a world class level. The US-American
Anthony Napolitan defeated his title in BMX Dirt Jump. Live on stage were local heroes Broilers, punk rock vets Pennywise and Danko Jones.
“With the 5th anniversary event, the Telekom Playgrounds set again new standards” says general manager
Lars-Oliver Vogt and explains
“with more than 28.000 fans on facebook and a sold out show in Duisburg for the third time in a row, we are on the best way to become Europe’s biggest action sports event. The sports level was already the same as at any other major league event around the world.” The BMX Dirt Jump final was a tight head-to-head between the Americans,
Brett “Maddog” Banasiewicz and
Anthony Napolitan.
