I honestly don’t know how the guys in the Park finals did it. The first round of finals saw two heats of five riders, 15 minutes for each session, and a max of 30 seconds each time they dropped in. After that the field was cut to five and they did it all over again. That adds up to, what? Heat Stroke? Arm pump? Confusion? And a ridiculous number of tricks fired off. I didn’t see any of it on TV, so I don’t know what it looked like from the home spectator perspective, but unless you were there live, I doubt you could get the feel for how nuts the finals were. This 150-photo gallery should give you a good idea of how much went down…
