Leave it to Mark Webb to kick off the pro disciplines at the 2009 FISE event in France. The Brit simply rocked the pro qualifiers on the not so monstrous Monster miniramp. People had almost expected the Braun spine at the event but the ramp provided is a bit smaller, a lot mellower and has no sub box of any sort. When you put pros like Daniel Dhers, Martyn Cooper, Alistair Whitton, Mark Webb, Ryan Guettler and Andy Buckworth on a ramp like this, the show is on regardless. Add tons of new talent to the class and you can understand that the Pro Mini comp was something not to be missed. The banks on both sides were packed and it was only Friday. This promises something for the days to come. The Mark Webb vs Harry Main show never happened though because Harry Main is dealing with some stitches in his groin and never made it to Montpellier. Too bad as the web-video battle could have continued live on the mini ramp. But it will be hard to beat Webb in pro-mini on Sunday, even for Daniel Dhers who is dealing with a hurt knee but still rides. We'll keep you posted from France. Pro street qualifiers later today and the Dirt comp at night. Here are some pics from the Mini comp on Friday:
