Olympiapark München - After an afternoon of amazing FMX and the top b-boy team in the world, imported from Korea for the event, the good people of Munich were treated to an amazing display of vert skating.

Jocke Olsson of Malmo Sweden was a welcome addition to the pack, bringing huge airs and stylish tricks. As was Juergen Horrwarth who rolled in off the extension like he was born to do it. Jake Brown had no problem going over head high on his airs and tricks like a double kick flip easily landed him in fourth. Sandro Dias didn't even try the 900 (despite the fact that Giorgio Zattoni , the second guy ever to pull a 900 on a skateboard, was part of the competition field), but still pulled enough huge airs to get the crowd on their feet and pull into third place. Anthony Furlong put together the best line of the year to come in second. And the first place position went to Pierre-Luc Gagnon .
