SB Events hosted the unique head-to-head box battle during this years Urban Sports Week Amsterdam: The Amsterdam Knockout. The arena for this edition is the new indoor skatepark House of Urban Sports.
8 wildcard riders and 8 riders who qualified at the park contest battled each other in this tournament. By lacing their best tricks on the obstacles the riders tried to knock the opponent out. 3 judges made a verdict and called out a color, who wins advanced.
The final was between 2 German heavyweights: Eugen Enin and Jo Zenk. They went all in and decided who’s this years Amsterdam Knockout champion!
