9 year old Patrik pulls his first Decade

Posted on by — 3 Comments ↓

Congratulations to 9 year old Patrik, who is one of Rob Alton’s students out in Hungary. Rob tells all below, enjoy the video!

“9 year old Patrik pulls his first Decade!!!

Patrik joins the very few kids under 10 years old around the world who can do this trick! After more than 1000 tries over 13 days he got it & 3 more!

In this video you can join him during his last battle to finally get it with more than 200 tries! This is the last part not the long version!

It takes hard work, patience, determination, concentration and believing you can do it. At just 9 years old this an amazing attitude, RESPECT to you Patrik!”

Repo: Sport Zone Veresegyház Contest

Text: Rob Alton.

On November 24th we held our second major contest at Sport Zone Veresegyház. I worked really hard to improve on last year’s contest in all departments. Thanks to our main sponsors Magnetic, IPF Corner, DMKER, Elite BMX Shop and Sport Zone we raised 1000 Euro for Pro purse. I hoped it would help bring some top Pro’s here and it did! We had 12 Pro riders from 6 countries, including the kids and Amateur riders a total of 34 competitors!
Róbert Völler “Minerboy” our live DJ was running the rider routines which made my day a lot easier. We also added new podiums and sponsor wall for the prize giving.

I split School Class into A and B classes, because there is a good step up now from the kids who are really practicing a lot. Recent contests in Hungary have really helped to motivate them. The B class was great to see as some of the kids have only been riding 5-6 weeks and still wanted to take part. Emma Kriston one of two girls at the school got second place! There is a separate video for each category on Youtube.
