"Fabian Bader turned out to have quite a few special moves and ended up in 4th place." -MC

"On the 25th of July we held a game of bike contest at Frankfurt's very own ghetto spot. Sixteen riders from all over Germany answered the call and came to the ghetto spot to battle it out to see whose bag of tricks is the deepest. After a heavy day of moves, smokes being smoked, beer being drunk and surfers being surfed, Daniel Portorreal took home the win and the biggest Ciao-Chain that came with it. Here are some pictures from one of the windiest days in Frankfurt's in recent history!" - Merlin Czarnulla
