Of course, with over 200 tons of equipment used to build the park, a lot was going on. \u201cWe had to bring in 200 tons of gear with all the grandstand scaffolding, decks and our ramps\u201d, said an elated event director Markus Museler after the event. \u201cIt was an absolutely amazing set-up, and the riders stomped it all day.\u201d Indeed there was no holding back, the riders were going all-out from the beginning, and there was high-paced action throughout.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ult.X is known worldwide as a hardcore event, always focusing on athletes, and thus attracting the best competitors worldwide. This year was no different, with athletes from the USA, Canada, Australia, France and Russia joining the local competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The international contingent dominated the Fox Men\u2019s BMX, with Anthony Jeanjean (France) taking the win from Daniel Sandoval (USA) in second and Mike Varga (Canada) in third.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u201cIt\u2019s my first time in SA and first time in Cape Town, and I am really happy with my win,\u2019 said Jeanjean. \u201cIt is an amazing country and incredible city, Cape Town.
