Vert Finals : Who else would win but the king : Jamie Bestwick. Smooth as always and landing a bar spin to X-up after the clock ran out to make himself happy. Kevin Robinson also pulled a double flair after the clock. I did not witness it or get the picture because the venue staff were distracting me. He looked very disappointed when his first run ended with a small crash but came back charging in his second run. Koji Kraft put together a great run on his T1 bike and landed a double tailwhip. Simon Tabron wins the best goon run for throwing in some bizarre amateur moves in the closing seconds of his run.

Chad Kagy rode incredibly well giving Bestwick a run for his money throwing out the flat spin tailwhip of his.

The rider in the Dew green helmet got a lot of response from the local crowd since he hails just 30 minutes away from San Jose in the town of Gilroy. Gilroy is also the garlic capitol of the world for a useless fact. Old vert hands were present such as John Parker and Jimmy Walker. I have never seen Tom Haugen ride vert before and I was impressed with huge airs and barspin to X-up's. Bestwick was humble as ever when accepting his first place trophy.
