One of Europe's biggest extreme sports competitions celebrates its 18th B-Day Pannonian Challenge calling all BMX, skate and inline riders. For 18 years Pannonian Challenge has been a home for some of the biggest extreme sportsnames. But aside from that, it's held a top position on a bucket list of those who enjoy extreme fun as well. Sunny, hot town of Osijek in Croatia's eastern part is the country's home ofadrenaline, while on the festival's nights the adrenaline moves to the dancefloor. You'd expect sleepy faces tomorrow in the skatepark, but there's some special energy that keeps everyone in Osijek on their feet for these five days. June 7 to 11 - Pannonian Challenge is a place to be.

Wednesday starts with the traditional party where some of the best photos of the festival's past years are exhibited. It's called exhibition, but trust us when we tell you – it's a hell of a party.

Thursday is there for some major action done by inline riders, while Friday belongs to skaters, both amateur and pro. The final day of festival and usually its peak is the BMX day, when probably the entire town comes to see what's that flying up high in the air twisting and whipping and all else. Of course, each day has its own after party, and no one misses them, not event the riders who need to fight for the podium the following day.

Well, if you really can't make it to Croatia this year, worry no longer, as we bring you the livestreaming of the skate and BMX pro finals. June 10 from 6 pm CET, watch it all here at FATBMX.

2016 edition. Watch it.
