Out of a field of 23 BMX riders, Matt Whyatt won the BMX park competition Sunday at the Gatorade Free Flow Tour's stop in Greenville, N.C. In "Protown, USA" for the first time in the Tour's five-year history, 17-year-old Whyatt from Australia earned the BMX park victory at Jaycee Extreme Park after executing an alley-oop downside tailwhip and a flip whip during his winning run. Fellow Australian Nick Kajewski was second and JC Knecht finished in third place.
Judging the contest were professional BMX riders and Greenville residents Ryan Guettler, Marcus Tooker, Mike Laird and Colin Mackay.
"I'm so pumped," Whyatt said. "It's going to be so fun riding with everyone is Salt Lake City. All of the riders were so good today, I don't know how the judges decided between first, second and third!"
The sun came out again long enough to dry up the mini ramp so the contest could be finished up the way it was planned. It would have been a shame to get all the way here and not have a proper contest. If you did not watch it live I will give you the results right here. The trick lists will be shown by the top three videos that will be up shortly. Mark Webb ruled that mini ramp even when he had to leave the ramp for a second when he got a little wide. Mark is non-stop and the tricks he packs into his riding are all crazy. His barrell-roll-off-axis-360-straight-flair- over the spine (somebody name that) is awesome looking and he's got that one down too, just like all the other hard stuff he did. The empty wallet was filled by a $ 5000,= USD check so Webby had a reason to smile. Second went to buddy Ben Wallace, third to Alessandro Barbero and fourth to Sergej Geier. Best 360 over the spine was won by Ondra Slez with a truckdriver to no-hander,

Simpel Session 10 on February 5-7, 2010!
The forecast wasn't great that's why everyone had to catch the 09h30 shuttle from the hotel to the Waterski arena in Pinneberg for the T-Mobile Extreme Playgrounds Summer Session. The sun was out and as soon as the big school bus stopped at the location the bikes came out and practice started. Dennis Enarson did not make it as he's injured. Rob Darden and Josh Harrington arrived after a trip from hell (24 hours total). They put their bikes together, rolled around for 10 seconds and the contest began. Head to head, with riders such as Mark Webb, Ben Wallace, Alessandro Barbero, Wicke, Bommel and more. These first runs could count as the end result of the competition if it would rain for the rest of the day so it mattered what was done. Luckily one full round was pulled off and the riders in bold made it to the second round:Josh Harrington - Rene Boerner
Ondra Slez - Mark Webb
Bommel - Wicke

Who does not want to wake up and have a swim, followed by a riding session and end the day with a barbeque? That's how day 5 looked of the 6-day Frenchys web tour. Once again Lilian Conry took care of the photos and Alex Baret filmed the crew members with Superstars' Anthony Lille, Ben Gea and John Garcia + Randy Taylor getting loose in Toulouse. Today is the last day for them on the road. Let's see if we can upload that part in a timely fashion tomorrow morning. Here are some pics and a link to the video clip:
