BMX Masters 2010

12.000 fans came out to Cologne’s Jugendpark on three beautiful summer days to check out the BMX Masters presented by ROCKSTAR Energy Drink. The perfect weather, great crowd and the best riders on the planet made the BMX Masters 2010 an unforgetable event that will surely go down as one of the best contests ever in BMX history!

400 riders from 30 countries were in attendance to compete in Dirt, Park, Flat and the newly introduced Super Ramp class for a shot at the 20.000 Euro prize money. There was also a Girls class and the old-school heads were stoked, because Bob Haro himself, the founder of BMX Freestyle, presented never-seen-before photos and illustrations in the Oldschool-Zone.  

The first big surprise of the weekend was Adam Kun (HUN) taking the win in Pro Flat Finals on Saturday, outscoring Matthias Dandois (FRA), who is regarded as the best flatland rider in the world, by just a fraction of a point. But Matthias came back in full force on Sunday, winning Suzuki’s Best Combo Contest.  

15-year old Brett "Mad Dog" Banasiewicz (USA) landed a perfect Cashroll in Pro Park Finals, a trick that had never been pulled before in a BMX competition. Even though X-Games Gold medalist Daniel Dhers (VEN) fired out an awesome Barspin to Lookdown Corked 720, he still couldn’t stop Brett from walking away with first place.   T

he Dirt Finals at the BMX Masters are always one of the biggest highlights of the BMX season every year and of course 2010 was no different! With the sun going down over the nearby Rhine river, the stage was set perfectly for the riders to go off like there was no tomorrow. In the end it was TJ Ellis (USA), who took the win by busting out a perfect Tailwhip Frontflip.  

Yet another big surprise came in the form of newcomer Alex Coleborn (ENG) winning Super Ramp with a 900 Air and a stunning Flair to Footjam on the sub box. Ondra Selz (CZE) didn’t make the podium, but with the crowd really getting behind each rider he decided to fire out the first Frontflip Flair ever pulled on a miniramp.  

Of course, no BMX weekend is complete without awesome parties. The Grande Opening parties at the Subway and Sensor Club respectively went off and the legendary BMX Masters Party on Saturday had fans and riders rocking out on the dancefloor until the break of dawn.  

A big shout-out also goes out to all our sponsors: ROCKSTAR Energy Drink, Suzuki International Europe, British Knights, Skullcandy and Feltbikes. Without the support of these awesome companies, the event wouldn't happen.
