on the box, and added a barspin riding in the landing. everyone had a 1 minute run, but with no one having a watch, it was just ride as long as you want. kenneth ended his run with awesome 1 handed backflips and no footers to no foot cancan, and won amateur, and its thus no banded from riding amateur contests in belgium (by his father!), but no problem, cause he will for sure kick ass in the pro class.

In pro class not everyone wanted to ride anymore after Kevin Janssens took a bad fall, and had to be taken away with an ambulance, and someone even came ask why the winner didn't enter, after birre decided to take his bike out after the contest and air 2 meter out of everything. so we went direct to the semi finals with the first battle being between Louis Hilton Jones and Anthony Reynaert competing against Gwen Geyskens and Bram De Laat. In Pro we don't use a jury or time, so after everyone had a few runs, we let the public choose who goes on, this works great since riders go for there biggest stuff from the start. for the first semi team Louis/Anthony took it with Louis landing a double whip over the box, and Anthony landing his first ever flair, and directly doing then 3 back to back!// Second semi was between Pieter Possenier and James riding against the street tech team Jelle/Kenzo. This battle was a lot closer but at the end Pieter/James took it with James doing a transfer out the park, and pieter on his 2nd try pulling a 540 tailwhip transfer to the pedals. The final battle of the day was more of the Louis/Anthony stunt show so they can claim being the best team for a year!
As a final i would like to thank Slampe a lot for stepping in and MC'ing the whole event, you did an awesome job! Also major thank to our sponsors Red Bull, Crank, Grounded BMX, Ride On and the city of Kortrijk because without their support we can't do a contest where you don't have to pay to enter and where everyone walks a way with a few prices.
Thanks to everyone for coming, and see you next year on city battle .
