German Nationals 2009
Packed with nearly 80 Riders in 7 categories this years german national championship were a full success and represented a high level of riding spread across all ages.
It was a bit windy and cloudy but in general still a nice saturday last weekend in Neubrandenburg, where next year's world championships will be held. The professional organisation and the caring team proved their skills and delivered a professional event of international quality that made everybody happy throughout the weekend and the riding proved that the germans are ready for the Europeans in Ukkohalla.
The open men category was dominated by the dominator himself - Dominik Gührs showed an amazing performance on the water and is the new german national champion. Steffen Vollert was fighting really hard and rode definitely on the same level as Dominik but in the end he risked too much and screwed up his final run, which made him became 2nd. The third place went to last year's german champ Daniel Wehmann who presented a solid performance and clean runs.
