In the authentic scenery of El Palacio de los Cordova in Granada Spain is the backdrop for one of the most unique BMX competitions on earth. It’s a Flatland competition but with the emphasis on finding the rider who comes up with the best mix of Flamenco and BMX, rather than the just the best tricks. The judges will be looking for best tricks, best interpretation and overall impression. The top three riders will advance to the final round. Matthias Dandois, Viki Gmez, and Takahiro Ikeda will go head to head with Rafael Amargo and other leading Flamenco dancers. After all, Flamenco and BMX is not oil to water but caf to leche.

Unfortunately, one of the best riders to do it on the mega ramp and last year's champion, Chad Kagy, came down hard on his leg and would only complete a run worthy of third place earning him the bronze medal. This made the race for gold quite exciting, however, as it seemed to be anyone's game with Kagy only completing a "safety run" (a run to secure a solid score, usually as a first run, to allow for a back-up score in case of not landing more difficult runs).
And so that race..
