Yesterday in MTB category the best was Szymon Godziek and the second place went to Alexander Belevskiy (both riding Cody). In the prestigious BMX category great 5th place was taken by Dawid Godziek (riding Nami).

Duisburg in Germany was a place where the best European dirt jump riders were battling last Sunday for the win in Telekom Playgrounds contest. Among them were two Dartmoor riders - Szymon Godziek and Mehdi Gani.
Szymon had two perfect runs in the first round. In his first run he made a 360 at the step down, backflip one foot x-up at the step up, 360 x-up at the step down, double tailwhip, 360 tailwhip and a wall to tabletop and scored 90.60 points. His second run was a 360 x-up at the step down, backflip one foot x-up at the step up, 360 at the step down, double tailwhip, frontflip and a wall to tabletop with score 91.20 points.
Unfortunately the judges decided that his opponent in the first round - Yannick Granieri was better by 0.80 points and eliminated him. Szymon's runs were definately in the top four in the first round (the others came from Pilgrim, Soderstrom and Granieri) so bad luck for him as he could really fight for a place in the top three here.
The second Dartmoor rider in Duisburg was Mehdi Gani. He had also very good runs but Sam Reynolds who was battling with him was slightly better that day.

Before the zero hour there were countless comments of people waiting for it. It’s hardly a surprise, after all it’s the biggest project of the up and comming film maker Ryszard RyyS Syryczyński. 11 riders, 6 countries, trips and comps - all packed in just over an hour summing up the year 2010 for Dartmoor team. People who were lucky enough to watch the movie before the web premiere were far from disappointed. On Friday March the 4th you could see it on the big screen in Katowice. The event was so popular not all people were able to get in to the cinema. The film was followed with a huge afterparty with over 1000 bikers present. Maciej Kiwak, one of the riders riding BMX in the movie, was the one responsible for this entertaining evening.
