Mirraco riders rip it up in Montpellier
Monday, May 5th, 2008
With the biggest crowd in contest history watching the park finals things were heating up on Sunday night during the park finals. 21 riders made the cut and Mirraco was well represented. Mike Laird finished 10th and pulled the sweetest no-handed 360 ever.
Dave Mirra wasn’t feeling it but did not leave without giving the crowd what they came to see. Dave has the 360 no-handed backflip wired and pulled another one as his “Last Trick” while the people were sreaming as loud as they could. Having thousands of people watching a BMX contest is awesome.
Maxime Charveron finished 7th after qualifying in 18th. That means he did well in finals. His handplants were unique as well as his bikeflip on the quarter.
3rd place was for Alessandro Barbero, the Italian pulled everything he wanted to do and was stoked. 2nd place went to Mike Spinner who pulled a 1080 as his “Last Trick”, his first one in Europe. Daniel Dhers finished first.
