Track was almost the same as last year. There was only one small differences – wallride was set in different place and a section after 15 m long jump.
Riders had to drop in almost from the starting line.
Leaving the castle was pretty cool. Tyler Brooker enjoying the jump.
Bernardo Cruz jumping on first stairs section.

The biggest attraction for audience was the 15 m long jump. Filip Polc flying through it.
Bernardo Cruz was one of the favorites for the race here in Bratislava. Nice whip for the audience.

It was a big BANG! We wish him quick recovery.
