Pannonian Challenge XI - Highlights + Q&A

One post, two features. The first one is a shorter version of the official PCXI video (kind of a highlights video), while the second is a quick Q&A with some of this year's Pannonian athletes. I'm still awaiting some riders' responses to the Q&A. If they do, I'll just add their answers in another post. Hope you guys enjoy the new features.




How come you've come to Croatia? Any particular reasons?

Andrew Jackson: Well my girlfriend is from Croatia and she was taking a trip to visit her friends and family. So Pannonian was a good excuse for me to go with her.

Daniel Dhers: Jura invited me while he was at Woodward so I decided to make the trip.

A tough one, just for the Hungarians: Croatian girls or Hungarian girls?

Bazsi Ivanfi: This is a good one... As a Hungarian, I would say Hungarians :)

Bobo Ujvari: My hungarian girlfriend. :)

Favorite part of staying in Croatia?

Bazsi: I have been to Split twice. That was my favorite part of staying in Croatia.

Bobo: Osijek, of course. I've never been anywhere else in Croatia.

Andrew: The Kolobarić family.

Daniel: The party and the people.

How did you like the contest (and the whole event)? What do you think could be improved for next year?

Bazsi: This was my fifth year in a row. I think that just about describes the way that I think about the contest. I really enjoyed the event this year too, even though I had to ride with a broken wrist.

Bobo: I liked the contest very much. I don't know what else could be better. The atmosphere was good, the riders were good, the course was good. It was good. :)

Andrew: It was amazing, I had so much fun. I don't think anything needs to be improved it was awesome. Maybe if I could have stayed for the last day and went to the dirt contest haha

Daniel: I think it was great, they definitely are putting their heart into it and that's what it takes!


Bobo Ujvari - 360 tuck - P: Tomislav Može

Bazsi, Why were you cruising around the park with an axe the morning after Saturday's party? What happened that night (there are lots of stories, don't know who to trust)?

Bazsi: This must be a rumor... I can't remember it, so it did not happen. haha


Party people! - P: Davor Jug

What was your own highlight of this year's Pannonian?

Bazsi: I just did regular tricks, nothing new.

Bobo: My own highlight was that I could ride. :) I was injured before the contest and i was happy that i did not dislocate my shoulder. So, for me the whole event was a highlight. And I've seen some high lights at the party, but that might have been because of the Pelin...

Andrew: At the contest was when Poki did that huge transfer. That was crazy.

Daniel: Just riding with the locals, getting to see a different style of riding.

Are you guys coming back next year?

Bazsi: I'm going to try my best to go next year for sure.

Bobo: Yes! :D

Andrew: I hope so!

Daniel: I might come back in a couple of weeks! (EDIT: He's already in Slovenia, according to his latest Tweets)
