A few Saturdays ago the InMortal contest took place at "The Promise" indoor park in Limburg. After Paul closed down the shop for the day, we cruised down to Heerlen just in time to see the finals. They split the field into two classes: AM and PRO. The riding in the AM class looked promising but the better action came from the riders in the Pro class. Riders did come down from as far as Norway for the contest which is always good to see. Many German and Belgian riders had made it to the

comp and the top places were going to Belgium and Germany.

Thomas Genon from Belgium usually rides in the MTB scene but he shows that he is capable of riding a 20 inch as well. He blasted all over the park doing 3-whips, whips, 360-s and no-handers where possible. Second went to Kenneth Tancre who almost got the flipwhip down. A few more jumps into Pim's foampit should get the trick dialled before he needs to try it again on wooden ramps, or dirt for that matter. 3rd place went to Germany. As the promised results never showed up I don't have the guy's name (Daniel Büttgen) but he was a ripper and had a younger brother in the AM finals. BMX family for sure.

Paul's Boutique BMX Hardware store made some interesting prizes for the winners. Let's hope for more events like this in the future. Always good to keep the scene strong.
