The comp saw 45 riders from 13 countries battle it out over a 3 double set. Saturday was the Panasonic Best Trick comp which came down to Benny Korthaus and Sam Pilgrim. Korthaus’s 360-Double Tailwhip got the drop on Sam's Backflip Superman and he took home the win.
Sunday was a showdown between Sam and Martin Soederstroem. Sam through down a Backflip-X-Up One Foot, Superman Seatgrap and 360-Tailwhip... Martin dropped in with a 360, whipped the first double then ended his best run with a Tuck No Hand followed by a 360-Barspin to X-Up. The judges were looking for variety and consistency and Sam took the win, bagging 2,000 Euros and a Panasonic cam for his troubles. Nice one mate!
Matt at Ison says: "We are stoked that Sam is getting the recognition he deserves as one of the brightest talents in Dirt Jumping right now.
Sam is now Internationally acclaimed as one of themost progressive riders that the sport has ever seen and we are proud that he chooses to use Halo, ODI and TSG."
