for his third and final run. With overall scores determined by the average of a rider's top two runs, Banasiewicz set the bar early with his first run, landing a 360 drop-in, frontflip no-hander and the first ever cash roll, a 180 backflip to 180 to earn a score of 94.12. Putting in a strong second run as well, Banasiewicz's final score of 94.12 could not be beaten, and the 15-year-old treated the crowd to a second cash roll at the end of his run. 
"It felt amazing knowing I'd already won, but I didn't want to just take a victory run. I still wanted to try to improve my score so I pulled the cash roll again on the last hit in front of all the fans," said Banasiewicz. "It feels good starting off the Tour with two wins, and I know I need to keep placing top three to stay in Cup contention now that the Vegas Finals are closer." Ryan Nyquist, 31, from San Jose, Calif., took the second-place position with a 92.81 and 19-year-old Dennis Enarson of La Mesa, Calif. rounded out the podium in third with a 91.94.
The four-day event continues tomorrow with the Skate Park and BMX Vert Finals on Saturday and will conclude on Sunday with the Skate Vert and BMX Park Finals.
