The first weekend of July 2014 saw the first edition of the EX&HOP Street Contest presented by FURTHER & Jever Fun 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. Andi Wohnig secured fourth place with a super high barspin to fakie and no hand airs, Stephan Götz came third by showing off the craziest drop of the day: a suicide no hand from the 3m high quarter. What else to expect of him?! Sergio Layos impressed with massive flairs, super high wallrides and fastplants on the wall as well as 360 lookdowns over the rather special jumpbox. The well-deserved first place went to Lucas Kneubuehler from Switzerland who threw down massive clicked lookdown airs, more than manly 360s over the box and double peg to barspin on the ledge
EX&HOP Street Final Results:
