Dominik Nekolny (CZ) showed some clean and super consistent runs and placed first for the finals on Saturday. Matthias Dandois (FRA) placed second and the third place went to Moto Sasaki (JP). The Spine-Ramp qualifiers were next up and the heavy hitters were all on deck. Daniel Dhers (VEN) showed his classical and patented Dehrs-Style. Dhers placed first followed by Brett Banasiewicz (USA) and Ondra Slez (CZ). The Spine-Ramp finals will be great tomorrow. We will definitely see some more hard and wild runs!
The Rail Jam was a first timer for the BMX Masters. It was an open session for everyone and the street riders lay down some hard grinds. Pierre Hinze from Hamburg, Germany took the win with tricks like regular and opposite hangover grinds as well as opposite and regular over icepickgrinds. With this tricks he scored the 500 Euros prize money and jumped into the aftershow party! The Pro qualifications at the Dirt Jumps were the last contest for the day. The riders had to drop down a big step down and afterwards they fired out amazing tricks on the two big jumps. Brett Banasiewicz (USA) placed first and pulled a clean cashroll and a 720 flat spin. Pat Casey (USA) surprised with his backflip decade and James Foster (USA) placed third with a wild double backflip. The Dirt finals will be the big highlight on Saturday night.
