1st palce at the Austrian 4x nationals

Last but not least Georg Engel complete a perfect race weekend with his national title in 4X. After his comeback at the “Adidas Slopestyle” the national title is a big result, which underscore his upcoming form- congratulations mate!

The MS- INTENSE FACTORY- RACING crew congratulates Darren Pokoj to the 5th place at the “Adidas Slopestyle”:

After a long seesaw with the event organizer about competing the main contest of the “Adidas Slopestyle” Darren Pokoj was allowed to qualify by the “Rock Shox Ticket to Style” rookie contest.

Darren was able to argue the judges with his clean style and his trick variation. He won the “Rock Shox ticket to style” which allows him to compete the main contest of the “Adidas Slopestyle”…

In the end he survived all qualification rounds, got into the final round and became 5th. With this result Darren showed that he is the upcoming overall rider with top results in DH, 4X and slopestyle events.

Looking forward to a sunshine race we got to the world cup in Willingen, but the weather there was as bad as in Scotland. The Willingen DH track offers ideal conditions to race our Intense 6.66 prototype and so we did. Claudio and Chris had been pretty fast over the whole weekend- in the end we had a podium of Chris and maybe the worst crash ever of Claudio. Nevertheless the Intense 6.66 prototype pass grand UCI World Cup entrance and we are looking forward to race the brand new Intense SOCOM.
