Let me first start off by saying that park finals were just three hours after park prelims, so I was plugging away editing footage up until minutes before the final.So when I ran to the finals, the stands were packed, access to everything was shut down, and people that didn’t make it in were pissed. This also meant that I had to stand about six people back and shoot between people’s shoulders. Luckily I’m tall, rude, and have a black eye, so I think people were willing to get out of my way. So, that’s my excuse for what looks to be the worst photos I’ve ever shot. At least the riding is good, right?

So, yeah, Dew Tour. BMX. Finals. Money, money, money on the line. The format was a bit ridiculous: four heats of three riders rode in a jam format, one rider from each heat qualified to the “super finals, and the two riders who had the highest scores outside of the already-qualified four got thrown in, too. That made for a weird little dynamic and some people really weren’t too psyched on the format. Who knows if the format will stick.

Park Final Results:
1. Daniel Dhers — 93.92
Front flips over spines, alley-oop flairs, wild inverted 720s, three whips, double whips, and more.

2. Ryan Nyquist — 93.25
He 720′d the step down, almost pulled a 720 barspin, double trucks down the step, 540 barspins, and a double barspin flip. So wild.

3. Garrett Reynolds — 90.50
All the street lines; wedge to wedge 720, tailwhips over the rail, fakie trucks, truck to turndown over the box, and a ton of other stuff.

4. Josh Harrington — 90.50
Barspin to fuf on the small sub, barspin to ice on the big one, cannonballs down the step, hangover tooths, barspin to double pegs, and blasted airs in between.

5. Dave Mirra — 90.25
Flip whips over the 20-foot driveway, double whips, blasted flairs, 360-no-handed flip (no alligator wrestler), and even tried to fire out a flip x-up to late tailwhip. So wild.

6. Morgan Wade — 87.58
Huge airs, double whips, 450-flips over the hip, 720s, nothing-to-tailwhip, tailwhip-to-icepick. “Probably the only guy there smiling.

7. Allan Cooke — 90.00 (note the screwy format)
8. Steve McCann — 89.50
9. Kevin Kiraly — 87.67
10. Dennis Enarson — 86.83
11. Mike Spinner — 86.33
12. Diogo Canina — 83.17

Either way, I’ll let the results, live television, and photos (remember my warning—don’t hold these against met) speak for themselves. Enjoy.
