2: Steven Akkersdijk, Kevin de Smidt
3: Gianni Arragno, Ruben Lenten

And thx to Ruben for listening to advice:
Scoring will be continued and scoring won’t go back to zero.

That was my only critics at KOTA 2014 to make it a perfect event.
In 2014 the riders keep repeating the same tricks over an over...much better like this!

Toby - will you either pin this thread at the top or create a separate thread that says:

KOTA Live Heat Video Stream and Announcements

And post the link in there so we don't have to search through it in the thread list?

Thanks.

[Toby]

do one topic as sticky and add there the links to all the different news, discussions etc?

Might be better than one monster topic?
