tech tricks and lines, one including a truck on the first spine, barrel roll on the second, and a 900 on the quarter. Sick. Finishing in 3rd was Ben Wallace, riding so high on the ramp and doing a combination of big, tech, and style tricks. Czech bros Ondra Slez and Michael Beran came in 4th and 5th, throwing down big tricks like flair whips, double trucks, three whips, and even a bike-flip to tire-tap to foot-jam from Michael first go.

Next in line was the dirt comp. The jumps under the bridge are HUGE! It’s lucky that none of the guys have hit the ceiling yet. Even though the qualifiers were cut a bit short Friday night because the wind caused a sandstorm, they continued Saturday morning. Some of the guys that rode great and should be in the final are Pavel Caha, Ben Wallace, Brett Banasiewicz, Ricardo Laguna, JB Peytavit, Rob Darden, Cory Nastazio, Jack Marchant, and a few other guys. Saturday’s Park Qualifier, Mega-Mini Final, and Late Night dirt final should be CRAZY! Check back to see the results and what goes down.

Even though the qualifiers were cut a bit short Friday night because the wind caused a duststorm, they continued Saturday morning. James Foster rode amazing, and came in first. He did a couple triple whips, and a 360 barspin to downwhip. Tj Ellis did flips both ways on back to back jumps. Brett Banasiewicz did a flip no hander and a front flip on the first 30 foot set, a corkscrew seven, a triple whip, and a decade.

A packed park final took up most of Saturday afternoon. 85 guys came out this year to Germany to ride the park at the Masters. With every guy getting a 1 minute run and 3 tries at a best trick, it got wild. Crowd favorites and guys who could get on the podium are Mark Webb, Michael Beran, Daniel Dhers, Brett Banasiewicz, Ben Wallace and a few other guys. The Park Finals, which will be the Masters Finale event will definitely be something worth watching. I’ll post the results for park prelims when they come up.
Saturday’s Mega-Mini Final, and Late Night dirt final should be CRAZY! Check back to see the results and what goes down.
