In 2005 the IBMXFF World Championships took place in Prague, Czech Republic. The pro riders who won a title there were Morgan Wade, Simon Tabron, Kye Forte, Koji Kraft and Michael Sommer. We caught up with Koji Kraft, the current Pro Mini World Champ who will be coming over this weekend to get some more...

Do you remember anything from your riding in Prague that got you first place in Pro Mini? 

Don't forget the Party-Sessions! The amazing BMX Worlds presented by ROCKSTAR Energy Drink are only four days away. No BMX Worlds would be complete without our legendary Grand Opening Party and the Official BMX-Worlds party. Don'’t miss it! After the first day of BMX, the BMX Worlds Grand Opening Party is the only place to be. Get crazy with the finest HipHop, Funk und Reggae, starting 10 pm at the Sensor Club Cologne.

Are you stoked to have a "world championship" event back on the calendar?
Kye: It's cool that the worlds is still happening, it's been around for a long while now, would be a shame for it to disappear. I know the masters was pretty much the exact same thing, the worlds just sounds cooler I guess?

What are you expecting from the dirt set-up in Cologne? 

Getting to the trails in Asten-Heusden was a challenge because of the "Kennedy march" which turns the town and the surrounding villages upside down once a year. Thousands of walkers challenge the 80 kilometers long march and many roads were blocked because of it. A few illegal turns later we made it to the Patrijsweg for the jam. The sound system was set up and I don't know where the couches came from but it created a chill area in the 30 degree temperature.

Dimitris usually rides at this spot by himself but this day he had about 20 riders show up to ride with him for an afternoon. The announced rain never showed up before the jam so with the help of the neighbours the jumps got treated with a little shower. Not enough I'd say but the attempt was there. I heard on the news that it needs to rain for 2-3 months straight to get back to the normal level. There was not much you could do but with the help of some Leende water and people picking up a shovel to shave off the dust it worked out good enough.
