Dennis Enarson rode well in pro mini qualification but dislocated his shoulder in dirt. Kevin Robinson made it here, Coco as well, Diogo Canina, Daniel Dhers, Dave Osato, and also Mat Hoffman who is going to do some TV commentating here. We're sure missing tons of riders here but you get the idea that things are looking good.
-Dirt is looking really good. Markus Hampl, Benny Paulsen and their crew did an amazing job. Everyone is having fun on it and it shows. -I'd been swapping hats with Bruno Hoffmann but last night he shows up with a RedBull hat. The trading hats is over now and you'll be seeing Bruno with RedBull hats from now on. Congrats to the German ripper.
-The Dutch BMX crew have been uniting underneath the Zoo Bruecke putting on their own parties. It ain't much when it ain't Dutch is also true over here in Cologne. Good times, good times. Daniel Wedemeijer, Barry Kohne and Pim van den Bos are keeping the hopes up of the rowdy Dutch crowd. Where is the Swedish crowd this year?!-Ralf Maier has finished the new Betonlandschaften website, check it out.
-On Sunday the Live Webcast on Freecaster will continue at 14:00 (CEST) with the Pro Street Final and the Pro Vert Final. An entire weekend of Freestyle BMX for you to enjoy! Replays of the main events will be shown also throughout the days.
-The Ibis hotel in Cologne was on fire. Everyone had t
o leave the hotel but the fire was put out soon after. No injuries reported.-We will try to keep you posted from here with results etc. when they come in. Pro Braun Mini was won by Mark Webb, followed by Daniel Dhers, Ben Wallace and Ryan Guettler. The finals are going to be insane.
