Last weekend, Patrick Guimez gathered a group of several of the world's best riders to send it at the Finist' Air Show in Quimper, France. New Zealand's Jed Mildon and Paul Langlands, England's Jack Marchant and Ryan Taylor, and Germany's Simon Moratz were among those who came out to ride. Despite roaring winds, riders made the crowd scream, throwing their biggest tricks on the 30 foot superkicker.

Paul Langlands did a massive front flip no hander, seemingly careless about his dislocated shoulder. Marcus Hampl did his

signature 360 Superman Seatgrab, unthinkable on a jump that size. Simon Moratz did a perfect corked 720. Jed Mildon and Patrick Guimez both pulled Double Flips. I was psyched on sticking quadwhip again. The show was a great time, as BMX and Motocross Action only 100 meters apart made the fans lose their mind.

An insane party on Sunday night was the best way to finish off the weekend. Next Stop is going to be at Peynier, France for Vans Kill the Line.
