We had a blast! The last EX&HOP Tour Stop of the year at the Streetlife Festival in Munich had everything one could have wished for: sun, blue sky, tons of action and the entire local BMX scene as well as riders from the UK, Hungary and Austria. For the first time ever all local BMX institutions had been involved: the setup was made up of the massive Countrybikes Jumpbox, parts of the Showtime BMX course, the FURTHER Quarter and tons of goodies from the 360Grad BMX Shop.
The first place went to Michael Meisel from Kulmbach with Barspins to double tailwhip, flip nohander and bar to tailwhip variations, followed by Simon Moratz from Munich with a heel klicker flip and superman flip. Bobo Ujvari from Hungary came third by showing off 360 triple barspins and a flip to nofoot cancan. Local legend Andi Wohning decided to just change the direction of the course and secured the 4th place with a 180 barspin to tuck no hand and 540 in the bank..The pictures speak for themselves.
Of course there was also the obligatory riders BBQ, this time with
a live performance by Rap artist Malarchi followed by a slightly excessive After Show Party at Miao Club where we now have a mini Miniramp, the first ever in a Munich Nighclub!
We are looking forward to the first (mini) BMX sessions there and will keep you up to date!
