The World's were great. I love Europe. It was so cool to see girls riding there. I met Monika, Liv, and the girl who entered was Karin. They're are so nice! I regret that I didn't get any flics of them though. It was a little uncomfortable for us to ride much since all of the competitors needed the limited space to practice.

Chad and I couldn't believe the things Moni was doing. She wasn't linking anything when I saw her, but she has a lot of control and has been at it for years. I didn't know that she's been married as long as I have! Her husband rides, and I can tell that her brother pushes her too. What an inspiration for me. Liv was stoked to meet her too, they exchanged numbers and ideas as well.

The girl Karin who entered has a good style, she rode out of all of her tricks. I can tell that if she keeps it up she will go far. There was another girl there who was really good. She's from Berlin, but I never had a chance to meet her. I think she was there with her boyfriend who entered. She rides a Show and has quite a few tricks in the works. She has a lot of control, I can tell she rides a lot. There were a couple of little girls from Hungary who entered as well. They were just doing some old school balancing type of tricks, but I was happy to see that they were interested . . . their parents had them there all weekend!

I had a chance to ride with a couple of girls from Hamburg, Germany too. They are just getting started, but it was cool that they were down with Flatland. I didn't even take my bike, but I did use Chad's. I was pretty happy with the progress that I made. It's amazing how the right mindset changes everything. There is a pretty big scene in Germany, I'm sure there are even more girls that I didn't get a chance to meet.
