Saturday 28 June will mark the 2025 edition of the Kooigem city battle. Taking place on the smallest BMX skatepark in one of Belgium's smallest city's, riders in teams of 2 will battle it out against each other. The idea is that you don't win from the judges, as there aren't any, but you win from the audience. After every run they decide what team goes on to the next stage. Some teams will be invited and pre qualified, but everyone can enter in the "normal run" contest, and the best riders then move on to the Quarter finals team contest.
Should I enter if I'm a Girl rider? Yes, you will get a price.
Should I enter if I'm not that good? Yes, you will still probably win something
