On Sunday July 16th the finals of the first Red Bull District Ride were held in Catania, Italy. After a really hard qualifying on Sunday morning the following 10 riders reached the finals: Andreu Lacondeguy (ESP), Lance McDermott (UK), Paul Basagoitia (USA), Timo Pritzel (GER), Cameron Zink (USA) Cameron McCaul (USA), Carlo Dieckmann (GER), Darren Pokoj (AUS), Darren Berrecloth (CAN) and Niels Windfeldt (NOR). It was really hot in Catania, the crowds were going off. They all wanted to see the world’s best freeriders. The riders had 2 runs in the finals and the best one counted. Some of them tried to show everything they’ve got in their first run, but Paul Basagoitia (USA) gambled again like it you do when you come from Nevada. He put it all into his second run and threw down some really amazing tricks that haven’t been seen before. Paul Bas impressed the jugdes especially with his tailwhip drop on the bottom of the stairway section, but that wasn’t enough: Paul cleaned up until the finish and stuck a 360-tailwhip over the last dirt jump. Wow! No one could beat that run! 1. Paul Basagoitia (USA) 2. Andreu Lacondeguy (ESP) 3. Lance McDermott (UK) 4. Cameron McCaul (USA) 5. Timo Pritzel (GER) 6. Darren Pokoj (AUS) 7.
