The second round of the UCI SX World Cup series in Papendal was one to remember. Specifically because the track that was built for it was at the limit of what was humanly possible on a BMX bike. Had there be no wind it might have been a different story already but then still, the gaps were big and the container was too high to get on top of. This resulted in different racing where anything could happen. The rhythm sections were also part of the track where passing Dutch BMX men dominate time trials at home track UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series 2011 Romana Labounkova (CZE) surprise winner of women time trials

The Papendal World Cup BMX SX race has officially kicked off with a well needed practice session. Tired of sitting around the riders took it to the track trying to master each and every section before the racing cuts loose. We did not see everyone on the track yet. The strong wind made it hard to clear all of the jumps. During the session we spotted a few things that we'd like to show you in the following photos. From half link chains to Meybos, from long rear ends to pink shoes, from Powerbands to broken bones. Lots going on at Papendal.
