In the last 25 minutes of a 99-minute jam format contest, Johansson landed an array of new flip combinations to beat Italian Diego Caversazi, whose Frontflip Superman and Cash Roll on the Sendolf Kicker earned him second place. As Diego and Emil pushed each other and the possibilities of technical Slopestyle biking to the extreme, most other athletes decided to participate in the Downhill \/ Big Bike Category.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Brit Sam Reynolds, who served as course designer for the last two editions, took first place in the downhill bike category, besting Nico Scholze (GER) and Clemens Kaudela (AUT). Reynolds performed a \u201cFlintstone\u201d and a \u201cSuperseat\u201d on the Sendolf Kicker with his Big Bike, sent a massive Quarterpipe air, and sped down the huge Big Bertha line in style. \u201cIt feels great to win the contest,\u201d explains Reynolds, \u201cbut, as course builder, I\u2019m especially happy that it went well and that everyone enjoyed it. The week at Suzuki Nine Knights is always special; we ride together, we\u2019re not competing but working together to make amazing videos and photos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following close in second place, Nico Scholze put down a \u201cFlatspin Nac\u201d and a \u201cTsunami Backflip\u201d on the Sendolf, as well as a huge \u201cBackflip Heel Clicker\u201d on the Big Bertha kicker. Clemens Kaudela\u2019s Big Bertha Line combos, a \u201cFlip Tuck No Hander\u201d, not to mention a huge Quarterpipe air helped earn the Austrian course builder a well-deserved third place.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCfBCdm0Z6lPA77ERk6kOBrA\">Credit: Nine Knights<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Current Freeride Mountain Bike world champion Emil Johansson (SWE) put down six never before landed tricks during the Suzuki Nine Knights MTB Contest, at Reschenpass in South Tyrol, Italy, to win the Slopestyle Bike category.
