The third-annual Etnies European Open street contest took place June 1 - 4 at Munich, Germany's Olympic Ice Hall. Austrian Roman Hackl took first place with a powerful style that took full advantage of the large and varied course and the smooth concrete surface.
After qualifying first with a near perfect run in the semi finals, Frenchman Bastien Salabanzi finished second. Germany's Tobias Albert was favored to win, but a broken wrist kept him out of the contest.
