Czech Stunt Day 2017

This year Czech Stunt Days was held for two days: qualifying on Saturday and finals on Sunday. The tournament has been running for several years and the organizers have earned a good reputation, so many top riders and high-level riders came. The main area is quite big, with good asphalt, and there was also a practice spot. In addition to the stunt riding competition itself, the tournament included interesting contests and shows.

The favorite was Mike Jensen. His main competitors were Rafal Kanik, Pawel Karbownik, Joona Vatanen and Martin Kratky. Mike rode an excellent final (his best run of the season) and confidently took first place, becoming the world's best rider of the season. In the Czech Republic, Mike did a kangaroo 360, the most complex series on a wheel with a unicycle, good drift and top stoppies: 270 and highchair 180.

Pawel Karbownik fell in the final and made several serious mistakes, so he lost to Martin Kratky, whose ride was error-free. Rafal Kanik also rode well, but the judges put him in third place. Joona Vatanen's performance on the new CBR1000R was interesting. Joona didn’t land his power circles in the tank position, so he got a low difficulty score, but he was the fastest and most aggressive rider, with his signature stoppies.

The play-off wheelie race turned out to be exciting. The difference between the tops and the rest could be seen while doing simple stunts. Mike and Joona rode very fast, because they can ride out of power circles. Between the finals, the renowned Czech artistic cyclist Nikole Frybortova performed with a challenging and interesting program!
