Last weekend saw the first edition of the EX&HOP Street Contest in Munich, Germany. The qualifying took place in an old warehouse while the finals were held under a deep blue, Bavarian sky at one of the city’s most picturesque locations: the Königsplatz, on a specially designed, portable course which just easily changed location over night. The Bavarian street elite with Andi Wohnig, Perry Petermüller, Stephan Götz and Wolfi Wildner as well as riders from Austria, UK, France and Spain took part in EX&HOP’s first street contest.
