Czech national DH championship – Bozi Dar
Last weekend I did another DH race of this season, national DH championship in Bozi Dar. It was great fun to ride DH bike again and I was enjoying it a lot. The course is pretty fast with few technical sections and is about 4 minutes long. During trainings on Friday and Saturday it was raining so the track was even more technical. Luckily on Sunday the weather was good and we were riding on the dry course.
Sunday afternoon was the race time. Weather was nice and there were lot of spectators cheering and making great atmosphere on the track. My run was pretty good and I was having lot of fun on the bike. When I crossed the finish line I was on the first place but there were still 2 guys coming. Finally I finished on the 2nd place just 0,5 sec. behind Czech best DH rider Adam Vagner.
At the moment I´m already in Canada getting ready for another fourcross World cups in Mont Saint Anne and next week in Bromont.

Fourcross race in Malmedy – Belgium
Last weekend I did another trip to Belgium for a fourcross race in Malmedy. It was pretty cool to come to Belgium again as I like the country and it looks like that fourcross is getting bigger there this year. The course in Malmedy was designed by Phil Saxena and it was the longest fourcross I ever did. The times in qualification were over 1 minute, so it was almost as a short DH race.
During whole weekend it was raining but luckily for us the course was still in a good shape and we were able to jump all jumps and rode pretty fast. Also the atmosphere was pretty good as there were quite a lot of people cheering during the race.
In qualification I had really good run and finished on the first place. In the race I won all my heats and got into the final. I had great start and lead the run all the way down and win the race in Malmedy.
1st place Kamil Tatarkovic
2nd place Joost Wichman
3rd place Daniel Prijkel

Watts Update: teva mountain games and filming in kamloops….
I just had an awesome couple of weeks!! I just got back from filming in Kamloops for a week, But before that, I went to the Teva Mountain Games. The Teva Games Is a smaller slopestyle, but it is rapidly growing in popularity with riders such as Aaron Chase, Cameron Zink, Adam Hauck, Tyler Mccaul, Phil sunbaum, and many others. I have never been to Teva, so I was really excited because I heard the course is always super fun. But when the plane landed, It was raining!! Even with the rain, I couldnt wait to see the course, so I put on a waterproof jacket, and checked it out. It started out with a smaller drop into a good trick double followed by a wallride into another double. It ended with an on-off box into another jump. I was happy to see that the forecast was clear for the comp, and what a comp it was. everyone stepped up their game with consistent and crazy runs. The finals were even better with most of the people 360ing or tailwhipping the drops, and throwing their best tricks. I ended up 3rd with a couple of solid runs highlighted by a flip whip, a truck driver, 360s on the drop, and a flip barspin to x-up on the last one. Chase got 2nd and Hauck got 1st with an insane 720 on the last jump, and he was the only one to tailwhip the drop in finals.
Right after I got back from teva, It was off to Canada for filming. I am filming for this video called Barred for Life, and It is gonna be big. I have already done most of the filming for it, and it should surprise some people at the premiere at Interbike. The first stop was Jordie lunns house on vancouver Island. We rode some stuff he built as well as the jumps at his house. I watched him huck off this 25+ foot drop with a tiny landing and he stuck it clean hid first try!
Then it was off to Kamloops. This was my first time in Kamloops, and I instantly fell in love. The dirt is so easy to work with, and easy to crash on. We built some cool new lines and hit some already built ones too. I 360′d a 12 foot drop which was the biggest I have done yet, and flipwhipped a big step-up. Harooks was shooting photos, and got some epic shots. Look for them soon in the magazines. After we accomplished all we came there to do, it was time to go home and get some much needed rest.
