Last weekend the Rebel jam took place in Portugal. This jam is more about fun and having a great time than results. It’s not the usual one score for the overall impression, at the rebeljam finals each rider gets three scores; one for Hard Tricks, one for Style and one score for Creativity. That doesn’t give you one winner at the event, but three. And then there is park and dirt, so you could face a lot of happy people.
It was a good time in Portimao with insane riding from lots of awesome riders.
TSG rider Markus Hampl won the creative title in dirt and landed a solid 3rd for Hard Trick. Patrick Guimez got on 4th postion for his creativity and a great 2nd for Hard Trick.
In the street finals our ambassador rider Daniel Wedemeijer came home with a great midfield position in Hard Trick and Creative Award.
TSG riders Markus Hampl, Ricardo Laguna and Patrick Guimez gave their best competing at the BIG IN BAVARIA Vol.II BMX dirt jump comp at Munich’s BIKE EXPO trade show. Get an impression of the numerous high class tricks like Markus Hampl’s opposite 360 combos, flipwhips and 360 super seaters.
The best final runs of the Top 3 BIG IN BAVARIA Vol.II riders are completely featured, too. Some additional statements of the winners make it a great short edit for everybody, who wasn’t able to see the live stream. Some sequences of the side program including a hard rocking limo drive and after parties round up the clip.
2 podiums and more at the Big in Bavaria dirt contest in Munich last weekend. In mountain bike dirt Sam Pilgrim got 2nd, Amir Kabbani 5th and our ambassador Simon Kirchmann, who qualified through Go Big Or Go Home for the pro event, ended up on the 14th place. BMX saw Markus Hampl on the 3rd place followed by Ricardo Laguna (4) and Patrick Guimez (5).
The weather conditions at the BIKE EXPO trade show in Munich didn’t make it easy for the riders: The first training day on Thursday was sunny, but Friday and Saturday were rained out. So the whole comp had to be rescheduled to Sunday.
The mountain bike riders were the first ones to go big on the 150 meters long dirt line in the early afternoon.
Swedish young gun Martin Soderstrom landed his tricks super clean. In his best run he showed a tailwhip at the start tower step down, a huge 360 table top, a double tailwhip, another 360 and a 360-double tailwhip. But guess who was his strongest competitor. Of course, it was TSG`s Sam Pilgrim. Sam and Martin had a lot of trick battles this season and Sam had only a 1,25 points gap to winner Martin Soderstrom. Pilgrim showed 360’s at the step-down, 360 x-ups, backflip no handers and as well as a 360 double tailwhip.
Another big highlight was new TSG ambassador Bienvenido Alba’s front flip from the start step down, which was landed well but a tiny bit overshot, so he had no speed left for the upcoming jump. So the Spanish rookie that is famous for his frontflip combos ended only 21st place.
The prize ceremony was very traditional in a Bavarian way: The winner got a 30 liters beer keg, the second a spigot and the third a hammer. A few minutes of teamwork later, the men on the podium were able to celebrate their success with a zip of fresh and cold beer.
After the 26” class, everybody was anxious for the upcoming BMX finals and the hottest tricks on 20” bikes: Australian Dane Searls, who is well known as an airtime lover, went crazy on the super-sized doubles of the BIG IN BAVARIA dirt line and showed tricks like 360 superman seatgrap indian airs or a super nice downside whip to tailwhip. Second place went to Ben Hennon from the United Kingdom. The German BMX legend and TSG rider Markus Hampl rocked the line with opposite 360 combos, flipwhips and 360 super seaters, so he finished with a great third place in front of TSG`s Ricardo Laguna and Patrick Guimez.
