It is not photoshop, it is just an old double exposure camera trick. Why did we use with Mr. Bizet? Because he was the only one to pull a double backflip during his runs straight into a cashroll! The French madman was on fire until he missed his luck and landed in the hospital. We can't wait to see you back and strong Antoine so heal up fast mate!

Gravity do not apply here welcome to the munichmash

Gravity does not apply here, welcome to the #munichmash!

Louis Reboul dropping in the last section.

Big spins for the big crowd! Munich Mash was a blast both for the riders and the public. The next level of extreme sports is here for sure!

Textbooks everywhere! Brayden pedaled hard through the track but it was worth it to stomp tricks like this 360 tuck no hander.

Mr. Granieri was the only one to stomp a front flip on this tiny ledge.

He is one of the best riders in the game but still his little mistakes cost him his runs. Flip whip on the big set did not gave him an opportunity to attack the last jump.

Brayden Barrett-Hay as the only Canadian in the contest was on a good track through the full loop to the highest rankings but the dislocated shoulder put him away from them. 14th spot for him.

And the winner of the fancy pants is...

Good technical combination from the Tomas Lemoine. Barspin to tuck no-hander on the big set.

Sam deceives the crowd while pretending to be a condor. Majestic flip no-hander from the stoked Brit.

Trouble with a circus obstacle? Simply find your way through it just like Sam Pilgrim! The only guy in Munich who did a flair in the loop.

A signature move from the Patrick Leitner himself.

Patrick Leitner s run ender was a double whip staright after a fully extended super flip. This combination gave him a 10th spot.

Tomas Lemoine on his way for the hot 4th spot. The gap he is hitting here was not only hard because of it's size but mostly due to the tiny, blind landing.

Carson during the casual spin down the step down. With a blind landing this one is simply nuts.

Great Britain s own - Daryl Brown with the one of the best looking tricks of the whole contest. This one handed seatgrab is off the hook

Franck Paulin had some bad luck in Munich and overrotated this high backflip tailwhip in the end of his run. Fingers crossed for him next time

Carson Storch was the best rider from across the pond with a solid 5th spot in his pocket.

Another double exposure, this time with the flip whipping Tomas Zejda.

Eric Walenta was in the small group of riders who felt good in the full loop obstacle. Thanks to the guys under it, riders had some extra safety while hitting it.

You think you have your spins dialed? Hands down, Thomas showed the best 360 combos during his runs! Here is a truck to table variation.

Focused and ready to send things hard from all around the world.

The sequence of the best trick from Mr. Genon. 360 barspin to downside whip anyone? Keep in mind it was done as a full run ender!

360 downside tailwhip from the NS Bikes golden rider. It is good you are back Sam!

Sam Pilgrim while sharing some dirt love with the spectators.

Stacking fives with the younger generation never gets old.

Clicked 360 old school on the last set from the Frenchie.

The toughest rider of a day title goes to Mehdi Gani as he stomps this frontflip just a minutes after a run ending crash that put him unconscious for a while. He even did a backflip barspin to no-hand after it

What does it mean to be one of a kind? Louis was one of the few who hit the full loop and was the only one to claim the step down with a gnarly flatspin.

Winning line by Mr. Reboul. Massive flip whip straight into the corked 720!

Seconds before the result Louis stands happy for his incredible run.

In the end of a day nothing tastes better than a drink with mates and some wet girls.

Will Sam start to drink the champagne more often after the bad start of the season We hope so

Course should've been like this last maybe sans loop and a dish instead. Great riding and combos. Format seems to have the riders stepping it more up after each run than we usually see

The steeziest rider took the win. I also would like to have seen his signature whip over this skinny Loop landing.

A video of that full loop would be greatly appreciated.
