If you're waching the miniramp contest live you jus saw these four guys transfer to the next: Ben Hennon, Mike Spinner, Phil Aller and Ben Wallace. The level bar has been raised and there are no easy rounds any more. Markus Braumann rode well but Phil had a next to perfect one minute run and made it through. Mike Spinner beat tech master Dave Osato who tried a few big tricks (720 - whip to 270 toothpick) during his run but needed more than a few tries to pull it. Ben Hennon went through because Tobias Wicke sat out his run. He's injured and hurting giving Ben Hennon an easy transfer. Mark "120 SMS" Koenig could not match Ben Wallace's non stop trickery on the grey mini. Ben had a few extra's for the crowd and flipped the spine and did three flairs back to back. The bands have started playing but more and more people are checking out the BMX riding on the ramp. Semi finals are coming up. Stay tuned for a report or watch everything live on www.freecaster.tv
