| FatTony, bmx.transworld.net, April 11th, 2009: We are in Monaco right now for the first stop of the 2009 BMX Flatland World Circuit and what an amazing event and experience it has been so far. It’s late and the finals are tomorrow morning so we will keep this short and sweet. The energy and ambiance in Monte Carlo is nothing short of incredible. 30 pro riders battled it out this evening for the 16 spots in tomorrow’s semi-finals. Those 16 will be narrowed down to eight for the final single-elimination battle. Also this evening there was a bunny hop contest (that no one actually won), a most bunnyhop whips in a row contest that Justin Miller won by pulling 18 in a row before he got too tired to go on (100 Euros), a country vs. country contest that Team USA (Matt Wilhelm and Terry Adams) won by being hilarious and hyping up the crowd with their antics and showmanship (100 Euros), and a best combo contest that Matthias Dandois won with a full minute of insane links without touching (600 Euros).
