26 TRIX

Wats up everyone,

Just got back from 26Trix was an awesome trip. Arrived there on Wednesday managed to get a room in the hotel which was amazing cause i hadn't organised anything (thanks Basti) Had a look at the course and the big line was massive and looked scary specially in the wind and its always windy there luckily there was no rain this year which is rare.

Watched Kelly Mcgarry hit the big set and he made it look easy. thursday and day of Prequailifying first run through the small line which is not that small and over jumped the one out of the berm to flat, it did not feel good at all. Decided i would do better riding just the big line and get more points. Got through ok but you have to pin it so hard. still an amazing feeling floating through the air for ages.

Qualifying started at 5pm and it was 2 runs best one counts, did the big line in both my runs did an ok first run which made me qualify 10th. practised for qualifying the rest of the evening.

Friday and day of Qualifying was a bit nervous especially since i had to go first, dropped in for my first run and messed up the first jump but carried on till the end. everyone stepped up there riding and it was a tough comp had to wait ages for my second run, finally it was time for my second run started well flipped the step up 1 foot x the next to downside wip on the hip and slipped a pedal which peed me off big time because i had been doing it fine all the time so never made it to the finals and was super bummed. Watched some good riding though especially the Canadians Brandom Seminuk and Graham Agazis as well as the Mcaull bros was super sick to see them ride.

Saturday was the finals and they were insane Andreau doing a massive flat spin on the big jump was a highlight for sure. My favourite trick was Niki Lietner doing a massive super seat on the big jump was so sweet, my favourite trick by far.
Cam Mcaull took the win with Brandon in Second, Martin Sodestrom in third and Sam Pilgrim in Fouth.

End of the weekend and time for the after party which as always got messy and for some reason every time at 26Trix after party shirts get ripped off was a good night anyway and with my ears ringing in the morning and still a little tipsy we caught the shuttle back to Munich airport.

Hung out at the airport for a while cause our flight was not till late. ended up watching England v Germany on the big screen with Sam P, Sam Ren, Linus and chopper where we got slaughtered but i dont care much for that sport bunch of pansy's falling over for no reason.

All in All an amazing weekend and can't wait for next year just need to get more consistent in my runs.

Peace out!!
