Also in Munich was the the Lazy Troop with Ilka Salo, Cederik Lerda and Fabien Fenouli.

He made it directly into the final together with Mat Rebeaud, Busty Wolter and Mike Metzger. The in Germany not so well known riders William van der Putte (BEL), Alex Liemann (CZE) and David Rejsek (CZE) also made a good show doing highleveled tricks.

Local Tobias Immler rocked Munich
Davids run seemed to be good enough to get directly into the final, but the judges didn´t agree with me. In the Last Chance, where only the best tricks counts, David had no chance to get into the final. That means, that in the Last Chance only thes riders get to the final, which had a hard trick in stock. No Problem for Ronnie Renner. One big Whip and a perfect Tsunami and the place into the final for Renner was safe.

The last place for the main went to Freddy Peters. He showed a 9 o´clock Nac and a Cliffhanger. In the final Freddy was hitting only one of the three ramps and so he ended up at 6th place.

Not FIM Loving Busty Wolter to his patricipation: ”I´m booked for this event. I want to make a good show for the crowd and the rest I don´t care”. With One Hand Take Off to Seatgrab and hard Whips Busty get the crowed on his side. Fabien Fenouli showed another good run in the final and ended up on a perefct 4th place. Ronnie jumped into the hearts of the crowd with his awesome whips. Ronnie showed also a big flip and won the bronze medal.

2nd Place went to Mike Metzger. Mike did a good run with Big Flips and a nice 9´Oclock Nac, but his riding looked very unenthusiastic. Maybe Mike knows that there was no chance to beat Mat Rebeaud. Mat shows why he is one of the best riders in the world. With One Hand and Candy Bar Flip Combos Mat won the Contest leading by 99 points in front of Metzger.

In this condition we waiting curiously what Mat will show at the upcoming Winter X-Games. Unfortunately it looked like the Contest got a bit boring for a while. The reason was, there were some toys like a wallride or a wheely box missing. Otherwise the Contest was a good chance for the amateur riders to present themselves and make their names bigger.
