there was a little jam contest last weekend. here is video of it http://www.youtube.com/user/slingshotbmx?feature=mhum
Bike Hall Contest 2010 was fun, and sad at the same time for me. Out of all the contests I have been to in Europe, the fans were one of the loudest and craziest in Troutnov, Czech Republic. The course was really fun, 6 foot box, 7 foot spine, 10 foot vert quarter, big step up, lots of transfers, what else can you wish for? Not a broken foot for sure. The contest was great, in a hockey arena packed with fans. Out of over 70 qualifying pros, from all over Europe, twenty-two went to finals, with me in the lead.
After the finals, Czech guys Michael Beran and Zdenda Pesek were on the podium, along with my brother, representing me. I was in the hospital with a broken foot, dissapointed that I won't be able to ride FISE in Montpellier. I had lots of fun in Czech, and am looking forward to getting back on the bike in 6 weeks.
Results:
1. Michael Beran
2. Nicholi Rogatkin
3. Zdenda Pesek
Masters Of Dirt in Dublin was insane! It was the first time the MOD had ever come to Ireland. The whole time there was really fun. The jumps were great, and the arena was crazy. Dublin loved it. We got a new snowmobile rider Jostein Steneberg from Norway to do a backflip on dirt after Justin Hoyer got injured in Vienna, John Guetter was back to flip his quad, and amazing motocross showman Edgar Torronterras did some beat boxing and proposed to his girlfriend right at the show. Moto-X action was really intense including , Kali Riders Rob Adleburg, Brice Izzo, and Roman Izzo, and others.
The BMX and MTB guys had fun and rode great, throwing down tricks on their jumps and on the motocross one too. Andreu Lacondeguay was back with MOD and the dude is crazy! And of course the Fuel Girls made it complete; dancing, pumping up everyone at the show and at the after party. Check out some of the experiences we had at the show and partying in this video and photos from Dublin.
