The Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa, California was host to the BMX Triples event for the past three days. Two huge wooden doubles and a big ol’ quarter pipe along with a head-to-head bracket style competition makes for a pretty exciting contest. And even though Ryan Guettler is riding in X Games, he still won this one right in the mix of everything… Photos, results, and video inside.

Official Press Release:
COSTA MEDA, Calif. (July 31, 2009) – Tonight, before a raucous SoCal crowd, Ryan Guettler (Queensland, Australia), stood atop the podium in the Action Sports Arena at the Orange County Super Fair as the winner of ASA Entertainment’s 2009 Big Air BMX Triples presented by BFD.com (ASA BMX Triples). It’s the second ASA BMX Triples title Guettler has won this year on the ASA Action Sports World Tour, having placed first at the Minneapolis, Minn. tour stop in April. Guettler’s the only man to hold two ASA BMX Triples titles and he certainly hopes it won’t be his last.

“I won in Minneapolis a few months ago and then had to miss the Chicago competition due to prior obligations. I even had to juggle this contest around the X Games, but it’s worth it, “ Said Guettler. “People were telling me to pull out of the Triples since I had qualified for the X Games Finals, but I refused. Every time I’ve competed in the Triples I’ve placed first. (Guettler also took top honors in the Round One prelims on Wednesday.) It’s almost like it’s my contest; like I’m the man to beat and I wanted to be here and win it.”

Joining Guettler on the podium in second place was fellow Australian Andy Buckworth the 18 year-old from Lake Haven, Australia who seemed a little in awe of the other riders and more impressed by competing alongside them than he was with his success.

“Guettler has been my idol since I was in the 6th grade. To come to this contest and take second behind him is great!” Buckworth told FUEL TV’s Weekly Update. “And Triples course is awesome. It’s basically a dirt jump made of wood – way more consistent and fun.”

Rounding out the top three finishers was Brandon Dosch of Lake Orion, Mich.

Glaringly absent from the winner’s circle was T.J. Ellis (Moreno Valley, Calif.) who has made the podium in the last five events in which he’s competed. While Ellis bested Koji Kraft (Addison, Ill.) in tonight’s quarterfinals with big tricks and smooth execution, Dosch upset the big air specialist by laying down an impressive first run of a triple whip, 360 triple whip to a double whip off the quarter pipe. After losing control in his first run against Dosch, Ellis felt pressured to go big in his second run and threw a double back flip off the second jump. His landing was less than the perfection he needed to advance as his foot became wedged under the pedal and tire during the landing and he twisted his ankle. This opened the way for Dosch into the final three.
