FATBMX is down in Teutschenthal for the unofficial FAT WHIP contest. In BMX we have the Tabletop and in Motocross they have the Whip. Perfectly performed, both tricks are the very best if you ask me, I have no problem watching a Vic Murphy tabletop and a Ronnie Renner whip all day long.

At the Karcher Grand Prix Motocross in Teutschenthal, Germany, the riders did have some time to mess about during practice. There were plenty of jumps to choose from to show their style. We managed to snap some shots and will leave it up to you which one you like best.

The contestants are:

-Stefan Everts
-Stephen Sword
-Cedric Melotte
-Pascal Leuret
-Kevin Strijbos
-Marcus Schiffer
-Antti Pyrhonen
-Tanel Leok

Stephen Sword was taking the comp too seriously and decided to hit the table with full speed (throttle got stuck) on his factory Kawasaki 450f. The Brit went straight in the air (guesstimate: 10 meters) and overshot the landing by 15 meters. He "got away" with a broken ankle and believe me, it could have been A LOT worse than that.

Now who's your personal winner?
