The Countdown is on! The team of the T-Mobile Extreme Playgrounds Street Session is arranged. All flights are booked. The T-Mobile Wildcard winners are ready to attack the best BMX riders and MTV’s Joko is practicing for his appearance at the final day. It’s getting serious. The bunch of riders and the music program of the Street Session of the T-Mobile Extreme Playgrounds are complete. One happy T-Mobile Wildcard BMX winner has convinced the judges with a perfect ride at the Local Support Street Challenge in Emmering near Munich. BMX-Pro Rafael Adam from Munich has the great chance to match his talent with the international Pros in Berlin. The Street Session is ready now: 48 talented top-riders (BMX & sk8) from four different continents, three hot Live-Bands, a massive fan base of action sports and music. And on top of all, MTV will broadcast this amazing event right into your living rooms.

The Mecca of international top-riders: The world elite of the BMX and skateboard scene will show up in Berlin in October. All riders get ready to show their tricky show-jumping in the Velodrom in two disciplines: „Street“ and „Vert“. BMX Street Pros like Ben Wallace (UK), Alessandro Barbero (Italy), Brian Hunt (USA), Tobias Wicke (GER), Morgan Wade (USA), Mark Webb (UK), Brian Kachinski (USA) and Vert-Masters Simon Tabron (UK) and Chad Kagy (USA) fight next to many more famous names for the title and a total money trophy of $ 100.000,-.

Whilst the riders are treating the ramps at the Street Session, the music program will get down to brass tacks at the Velodrom. ROCK is the program! Openers will be Orange But Green from Dortmund. Also confirmed are the five fathers of Hardcore-Punk from Kaiserslautern the Spermbirds. Their ultimate Skateboard hymn “My God Rides A Skateboard” will endow for pure cult. The Highlight of the evening will be the performance of the Welsh Metal-Band Bullet For My Valentine.

Tickets are available for 30 Euros plus fees at all ticket agencies. These count for Friday (qualification & first final round) as well as for the final plus bands on Saturday. The 5-friends-ticket is for low budget. For 120 Euro plus fees 4 people pay and 5 get in. Moreover there is also a ticket for Saturday October 13th only (final & band program) receivable for 19 Euro. All possibilities include the ticket for public transport.
