Congo is a true City Grounds original team rider, and has been riding for the shop since the very beginning.

As the freestyle competitors hit the freshly painted course features, the judges knew they were in for a tough decision. Last year’s winner, Josh Boothby, was looking to land the first ever in-competition flare, a full 180 degree backflip, while riders like 2011 winner Matt Reyes were cruising the course with an uncanny consistency. A surprise to most but certainly a welcome one was seeing Zawada on the course throwing huge tuck no-handers and making his way onto the elite list of just three people to pull a backflip in fixed-gear competition. In the end there was no stopping Reyes...
