Brazil's Cauan Madona was doing airs this high the day before just for fun. Watching this guy ride is incredible. Second place high air (by a slither) with a cranked t-bog for good measure. Photo by Fred Murray

35 years is a long time. 35 years for a BMX contest is an eternity. The BMX Worlds in Cologne hit that very number this year, with the city's Jugendpark playing host once again to the festival style event, basking in the European heatwave. Stephan Prantl and his crew did it again with nothing but smiles throughout the weekend. We were on the case as always to capture all the best from Dirt, Park, Flatland and even the awesome Old School demo with Hoffman, Brian Blyther and Dave Nourie. Look out for our highlights video dropping soon - until then enjoy some photos from DIG's Fred Murray and Cooper Brownlee.
