About 3 weeks ago there was a small jam/contest in our local skatepark in Siegen, a not so big city close to Cologne. It was the beginning of October so the weather wasn't very good but anyway, besides a small shower which took only bout 15 minutes the weather stayed good. The riders came from all over North Rhein Westphalia, the Cologne guys, some riders from the Bielefeld area, Timm Wiegmann from Oldenburg, Fischi from Leipzig and of course the Siegen locals were there!

First of all there was a contest for the beginners, it was crazy cause there were about 25 locals who are under 14 years!? After the local contest, the teamcontest went down. The contest mode was pretty chilled. Two riders had to ride together against another team so it was like a battle format. Real good riding went down. Fischi from Leipzig did a whip down the boxjump straight into flat for example.

At the end of the day there was a minramp contest. The ramp is just like 1.30 high so it was fun! Jan Beckman won the minramp contest with a tailwhip drop in and Jan Heinen and me, won the park team comp.

Thanks to our sponsors wethepeople, Eastpak, peoples-store and Redbull for making this possible.

Thanks for reading and see you guys next year!
