Its been a while . . .
Posted by: Carlo
. . . since I did my last update. But its not that I did not do anything!
For the last two weekends I was on the road for some comps.
Two weeks ago I went to Solingen/Germany for a big air comp on snow. I had no idea how its gone be to ride on snow so I was really excited. A lot of people told me its like jumping in a foampit so I was: Ok, cool, so I can pull some new tricks.
Mmmh I think its totally different. My first jump on snow was already the last one. I landed perfect but my bike stopped right after the landing and I fell over the bar. I landed on my shoulder and I could not breathe for a minute or so. It was really sketchy, so I quit. I think it was a good idea when I saw the other guys crashing.
The week after I went Muehlhausen/Germany for the last stop of the HomegrownTour . Pretty wicked and I think the best of all three stops. Overall 50 riders came to show there best riding in front of a big crowd.
I had to judge the am tournament and I was stoked how good the level of riding is. They did flips, truckdriver, massive airs and grinded handrails. Just to name few tricks.
The pro class definitely had to go crazy to do a better show. In the end I think we did it and used the skatepark as good as possible. I do not know if I did the best show but I won the comp. I did a 540 , flipped a step up and just used the whole skatepark. It was super cool and props to all the guys who organized the tour. Bad ass!
So far from B-Town.
