9th episode of our favourite event BENJAMIN - aka the competiton for all riders until 16 years of age went down at the Pardubice's famous covered skatepark on 28th of May. However this year was kind of a special, mainly due to the 20th anniversary of TBB-Bike that the owner Alex Rovny took to his own hands and organized an awesome BMX day with everything bike rider could ask for, available for everyone who wanted to come ride or just to celebrate and experience a good time regardless of age. That's why the name has been changed with a simple result to BEN-ALL-JAMIN.

Unfortunately the day lasts only for 24 hours when an average person is able to withstand let's say at least 16 of that without looking like a zombie. So obviously to make a schedule is always a must. Another thing is to set the limit for maximum amount of registered riders which we have decided to be 85. Honestly, nobody expected to have all 85 riders registered within two weeks since the annoucment, but it just happened and made us super stoked.
Friday was planned to be a bit of a practice day and of course we had to do all the preparations for tommorow, which is not a big deal after all those years of making this event. Alex is the man and supervised everyone to get this done as quickly as possible so the fun may begin. I gotta say huge thanks to all of you guys who have put your hands in and helped us not only with a preparations, but also to clean the place up and dismantle all the tents when the contest was over. I am kinda jumping ahead though, so let's have a look at what went down on saturday aka the D-day.
