Harry Main wins Telekom Playgrounds in Berlin, Germany.
The Extreme Playgrounds series in Germany just wrapped up the 2011 season. It's been 5 years in a row with three events per year for the Telekom crew making it 15 contests total. Harry Main showed up in Berlin wanting to do good. The head-to-head system meant that Harry had to beat his opponent twice to make it to the final 4. He did, and in the finals he had some tough competition coming from Mark Webb, Pat Casey and Maddog.
The riders had two runs of 60 seconds each, with the highest score being the one that counted. Harry's first run was amazing and turned out to be the score that noone beat. Some of the tricks he did were a flair drop-in, huge 360-no-hander, a couple of 720 off axis spins and flairs of all sorts.
The event was live on TV in Germany and they saw Harry hold up a 5000 dollar check on the podium for first. Good job Harry, congrats.
