There were a few standouts at this year's Rebel Jam. Sean Saxton was one of them. When Andy Z told me that he was the only one missing his bike when he arrived from the USA, I didn't even know what bike he would be waiting for. Sean is a KINK rider and from now on I won't forget him. His style is amazing and fun to watch. He did one of the biggest moves of the contest which was a bunnyhop to hang-five on a ledge that went down after 10 feet of flat. He pulled it smooth too. His turndown 3-s are great and he did all kind of tricks that surprised me. It was nice to see a new rider in the mix and Sean was it. Bruno Hoffmann had perfect runs in qualifing. He's way too good for his age (14) and the wethepeople rider showed that making finals in pro street at the FISE wasn't a one time affair. You can have a lucky day but Bruno had two as he pulled all tricks in the finals too. Maybe he's just consistent. His tricks? He recently learned 720-s and pulled those, big wallride-360-s, downside whips all over the course, 540-s, you name it. MC Catfish couldn't believe what he saw. 
The Pro mini contest at the Rebel Jam was a good one. Mini ramp contests aren't too popular these days but they are actually good fun for everyone involved. Sure you can get hurt but riding a 6 feet high mini ramp is something different than riding a 14 feet high vert ramp or jumping a 35 feet long gap on dirt. It doesn't mean that the action isn't there though. The level gets pushed and also the Braun Spine tour is a good example for that. 720-s over the spine were pulled by Ryan Guettler and also Harry Main who did these in practice like it was a tailwhip tailtap. Felix Kirch rides brakeless now and shows he can handle it. He's smooth, goes big and keeps it fun. The young German Felt rider was stoked to be in the finals in Pro Mini and he deserved it too.
Bjorn Mager and Tobias Wicke were locals in Berlin and they have that ramp wired. Things didn't seem to go Tobi's way in practice and during the finals but he pulled a new trick on the sub box at the end and was stoked indeed. His mother was in the crowd and experienced what Tobi does all over the world; stoking the crowd with his riding.
