The Dirt Finals in Denver were pretty amazing.Twelve guys qualified for the finals, but only eleven battled it out. In the last hour of practice before the finals, Diogo Canina went down hard, hit his face, and took himself out for the night. The remaining guys had only two runs (usually there are three runs in Dirt) to throw it all down.

As you can imagine, some big moves happened, and with the two run format, it all came down to the last run before it was decided. Ryan Nyquist took the win with a high score of 96.25. His winning run? A barspin backflip, followed by a 720, and capped off with a 720 truckdriver. Other bangers of the night include Dave Dillewaard’s 360 tailwhip-to-barspin, Luke Parslow’s barspin backflip-to-x-up, Anthony Napolitan’s 360 double tailwhip, Allan Cooke’s superman seatgrab backflip, Corey Bohan’s opposite 360 no-hander, and Mike “Hucker Clark’s double backflip.

Ryan Nyquist came to Denver with a new one on his trick list and it paid off nicely. This 720 truckdriver sealed the deal for him for Friday night’s Dirt win.  credit: Keith Mulligan

With tricks like those going down in Dirt, you can expect Vert and Park to have a number of wild moves as well. Keep checking back this weekend for more photos and results.

Mike “Hucker Clark came out swinging in his first run and put down this double backflip over the last set. He slipped a pedal about 15 feet after he landed, but rolled away from it without going down.  credit: Keith Mulligan
