We built up the carbon flight frame just before practice in Prague and I made my first laps a few hours later. The main difference is the stiffness when you’re coming out of the gate or turns. When you put power on the pedals, the bike is right there. I really like the bike and the shape of it looks awesome!
After 45 minutes practice on the track (which went okay), I decided to race with the new Redline Carbon Flight frame instead of my regular Aluminium one. During the race on Saturday I felt pretty confident and I won most of my races.

On Sunday I felt a little tired, but racing went better every lap. I won most of my races again, even the semi final. Unfortunately during the final I didn’t get the start I needed, so I was in the same position like Saturday. This time I was back in 6th position, but I rode some good lines and finished up 4th again.
Overall, it was a good weekend for training, but I expected to do better. Luckily I didn’t crash like many others, because the track was kind of sketchy for Junior and Elite riders.
The next couple of weeks I will do a lot of practice for the UCI BMX Supercross at Papendal, Arnhem. This is going to be a great event and I’m really looking forward it!
