05 May 2019

Huge transfers, massive slams and many surprises, riders went big this weekend to wave the Comunidad de Madrid crowd. More than 25 000 spectators gathered at the WizinK Center to enjoy the BMX Freestyle Park and Skateboard contests.

To complete the program, many activities were set up in front of the stadium. The BMX Flatland and Skateboard initiations were challenging the most curious, and street art artists of Art & FISE were performing live. Today's finals were set up to be huge.

VINCENT MILOU TAKES THE VICTORY IN SKATEBOARD STREET MEN

In Skateboard Street the whole final was a super exciting one, with a lot of bangers. Matias Dell Olio (watch his run) was the most technical guy on the final, and he landed so many huge tricks. He even dropped one of the best trick of the weekend, an insane backside to 270 frontslide lipslide to 270 out. Without the small slam at the end of his run, he would have probably scored bigger. Danny Leon (watch his run) took the second spot, with a super fast riding style where he goes everywhere on the park. After a stratospheric transfer, his second trick was a gnarly gap to smith back to the quarter pipe that he landed first try. Vincent Milou (watch his run) took the win by what a contest needs: good pop, super smooth style, and fresh lines using all the parks. His first run was a perfect one : that’s it, that’s all.

ANDREA BENITEZ TAKES THE WIN IN SKATEBOARD STREET WOMEN

It’s a finale 100% Spanish which was ON this afternoon, and all the the women could get the top spot. The third of today’s final, Laura Vanessa Sepulveda Arias was the faster one on the course, with a super stylish run. On the second stop, we found Daniela Terol Mendez and her massive use of quarters. She dropped many boneless, a trick she does perfectly. She made a flawlessly run and judges said that she can count on a very good carrier on the near future. The winner of the day, Andrea Benitez, touched almost all the course and it’s mainly why she stand out. She found a nice Mix&Match made of style, speed and technical tricks.
