Plattling freestyle worlds 2011
So after Pringles gold medal in Kayak Freestyle Worlds 2011 in Plattling it´s hard for me to come up with some great news…
Beeing more a creek boater I made my way from the Teva Mountain Games in Vail (Colorado) to the Teva Extreme Outdoor Games in Ivrea (Italy) and then to Plattling.
Working for the organizing team during the day I tried to get in some practice rides late in the evening or at night.
Though Prelims didn´t go very well for me I made the cut to quarterfinals placing 18th. In the Quarterfinals I had three good rides and improved my ranking to the 9th place, so I made the top ten and went into Semifinals the next morning.
After I started playboating only two years ago I am more than happy to end up on the 10th place in the world of freestyle kayaking!
Congratulations to Palms Katya Kulkova placing 7th and James “Pringle” Bebbington for his awesome 1st place becoming Kayak Freestyle World Champion 2011!
