I took 4th place. We went over 6 obstacles in 4 pools with the new 2.0 Winchsystem!
13. Sept 2008, Stadionbad Pool in Cologne
Originally I wanted to stay at home at this weekend, but when Hardy showed me the Setup and Location, I could not miss it.
Freitag vor dem Training! Welche Firma wenn nicht Red Bull würde so eine geile Idee umsetzen. Theoretisch kann man so, in jeder größeren Stadt ohne viel Aufwand einen fetten Contest und eine gute Show abziehen. They invited riders from all over Europe, so I meet old and new Friends from Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Swiss and of course Germany. There were 8 Wakeskaters and 16 Wakeboarders. At the first Qualification everybody got two runs, the best one counted, cut down on 8 riders. The Semifinal already started with an head to head battle. Here it was again (like at the See Beben at Jetlake this year) a close battle between Dominik Gührs and myself. And again I closly made it... sorry Dominik! For the Superfinal just Bernhard, Nico, P2 and myself were left. Everybody got two runs and the best counted. I went for the all or nothing strategie! First trick fs 450 gap but crashed unlucky, second run, second trick hs fs7 fell again (540 would have been enough for a win). But the last trick off me and off the day, was my backside 450 gap over the funbox and the crowed payed me off with the loudest cheers of the day. After I saw the radikal Pricemoney order (3000$,2000$,1000$ ... and just 500 $ for me) I had to cry... damm it! Alexendra and me didnt stay in the Hotel with the other riders. We had to stay at the place from our good friend Daniela (thanks again for everything)! After we finished two bottles of Vodka we arrived at the Aftercontest Party. So I rocked up at 0.30 with this 5 ladies and everybody asked: "How does Fetzy doing this?" I just remember it was a really good Party and we come home so late... Cu next year Fetzy At the Best Trick Contest (everybody two trys) I landed my sw hs fs 720 at the first try. So i was happy because I heart rumors there will be a top 3 ranking, and there was just one KGB landed and Dominiks ts fs 900! But at the end, it was really just a rumor and only Dominik got the money...
