This section was called "Dragon." Elite and Master
riders had to drop off from the top to the "rolling roll," as Kenichi
puts it... Only Thierry Klinkenberg (Belgium) and Marco Hosel (Germany) could
make it through.

The famous pond section. This year, it was harder than usual...
Keigou tried the most dangerous way to drop off into
the pond.
