Felt BMX "New Ride, New Day"

BMX Worlds 2012

Once again Cologne, Jugendpark. I had a great weekend meeting old and new friends, hanging with my friends @kunstform?! BMX Shop and - of course - riding the contest. I qualified 13th with a super good run (in my eyes), final was a fail - 15th place. OK there was also another downside. The weather... Enjoy some pictures and a video below & see you next year!

By the way, did anybody film my qualification run?

R.I.P. kunstform?! bmx shop office - Part 2

Enjoy the Finale Grande. Before watching part 2, you should check part 1 of the R.I.P. kunstform?! bmx shop office sessions.

the final chapter

As I do not have an indoor spot anymore and we have freezing temperatures down to -15°C, I rode more and more park and street lately. Definitely fun and refreshing after a long long absence.

For those wo don't know. We had to move with our bmx shop and office into a new location. You can find more information here.
