ITALY - KPWT comes to an end

Results 

9th Freestyle

7th Course racing

The competition in Italy, Lake Como has come to an end.  After a frustrating start to the week due to light wind, the conditions improved for the last few days and we were able to finish the freestyle and course racing, although we didn´t get a chance to do a double elimination.

I had some bad luck just before my freestyle heat, as a huge music speak fell on my hand.  Unable to move my little finger, but with some good strapping and sheer stubbornness I went on the water.

The week was great fun, with the main sponsor, FIAT organising a freestyle motorcross show.  This display of true madness was of course the highlight of the week, with two of thier riders performing mind blowing tricks such as back flips and the flying superman off the ramps.

Congratulations to Ania Grzelinska and Leander Vvyvey who were the Freestyle winners.

I am now sitting in Athens airport en route to Istanbul for the next stop on the tour.  The competition will be starting on the 12th and the main sponsor is JIM BEAM.

Hopefully there will be some good wind so I can train before the comp and get used to the spot.
