France, Italy, China and now Germany. Alessandro Barbero has been on a winning streak and also won the T-mobile Extreme Playground contest in Berlin. Alessandro was one of the seeded riders in the head to head park contest but faced Mark Webb as his first competitor. Mark has won loads of contests this summer too so it was going to be an interesting battle.

Alessandro came out victorious and his three-double whips over the jump box and spine plus flairs and double whips on the quarter pipe helped him out. It was close though. Two rounds later (after eliminating Morgan Wade too) Alessandro met up with Tobias Wicke in the final round for first, or second place.

Wicke had some problems pulling the double whip over the box and tried it three times to show the Berlin crowd that he could do it. Tobias had a less than perfect 60 second run and it was up to Alessandro to beat that. Ale’s consistency worked out and next to the tricks mentioned above he also did a whip to whip back, attempted a triple whip on a quarterpipe, did a 3-whip transfer and stuck a couple of tailwhips to icepick on the sub. The victory was his making it his fourth win in a row in four different countries.
