Today the BMX Worlds started in Cologne, Germany with an open practice day: "In the early afternoon we were lucky enough to see no one less that Mat Hoffman do a relaxed spin on the Vert, while Matthias Dandois and Terry Adams held a training session in the Flatland tent."

The tent looks brilliant as you can see above so no matter what kind of weather is going to follow we'll see a smooth contest. Extreme.com is going to broadcast the worlds live online. The very first broadcast on their schedule is actually flatland (the pro finals) on saturday from 15:00 to 16:00 CET ( 3 to 4 PM CET ).
