Video: adidas Ride The Sky - FMB in Poland

On the 14/15th of June the FMBA bronze event took place in Poland. RADICAL.sm crew built a massive course with stepdown and two huge jumps. The contest had a very interesting and unique setting. Course was placed in front of the "flying saucer" - an indoor sports arena located in the very centre of Katowice.

adidas Ride The Sky event gathered over 12.000 spectators to witness an amazing show performed by 40 riders from around the Europe. Riders were pulling top notch tricks such as seatgrab superman tailwhip by Laszlo Gal (HUN) and cashroll by Antti Rissanen (FIN). Both maneuvers were successfully attempted at the very beginning in qualification runs.

The riding level was insane. There were many tricks, which must be mentioned to give you the full overall look at riders' skills presented during adidas Ride The Sky. Frontflip nohand by Bartek Obukowicz from Poland at the last jump was just enough to take the 5th place.
