It’s already been a long day for me, leaving Southsea at 3am this morning to catch the 7:05 flight from London Gatwick to Cologne. I am currently chilling in the hotel, building the bikes up and waiting to check in with Sebastian Grubinger and Hector Garcia. Right off the plane I met Shintaro Misawa and a ton of other bmxers at the airport. It already has the feeling of a huge event, and I haven’t even made down to the contest yet. More updates later…
