Most of Europe's best stunters traveled over or under the British Channel to the SBF stunt competition at London's "Ace Cafe." The event was a blend of motorsport entertainment, a custom bike show and of course, the stunt competition. With nearly 6,000 spectators packing the stands, Joe Dryden and Guru Khalsa in the judge's booth, the stage was set for a high-energy Sunday stuntday.

The arena was dominated by the ever-talented French riders who snatched up 9 of the top 15 places in the individual freestyle competition. Rafal "Stunter13" Paiserbek threw down a predictably flawless run, taking home first place with a 13-point lead over the second place contestant. 

Seb5 placed second and Ben Baldini (you may remember his "Tsunami" sickest trick from StuntGP) grabbed third. Czech rider Martin Kratky placed fourth and UK's own Lee Bowers took fifth with his entertaining blend of showmanship and technical riding.

The stoppie contest was swept by UK's Paul Hanks who practically doubled the distance of the second place roller, Icon rider GuyGuy from France.

Sickest trick saw some amazingly innovative new tricks like Stunter13's switchback drifting, which put him second and Martin Kratky's switchback seatstander combos, which placed him third. The crowd judged the sickest trick and chose Ben Baldini's stunning Tsunami superman for first.

Thanks to Paul Fishwick Photography for the images and SBF for the amazing stunt event.
