And so ends the Dew tour for the 2 wheelers. Scotty Cranmer won the finals but Ryan Nyquist and Daniel Dhers sure made him work for it. Cranmer rocked the crowd with an x-up down a huge drop off, 360 double tailwhips and a front flip tuck no hander. Today's run had far less interaction with the medical staff which was good. Nyquist definitely had the crowd behind him in his runs and his first one was dialed. It was the Nyquist staple with bar spins-a-go-go, a couple of flips thrown in for good measure as well as some flips and flairs. The crowd went nuts as he pulled a bar spin as he was 180'ing out if the large wallride onto a flatbank. Fellow Haro rider Colin McKay had his own set of lines going showing the creativity each rider holds. Steven McCann on his Mongoose bike pulled a 720 to turndown which was impressive. Austin Coleman was there yet again bringing fresh style to the finals. His one handed tailwhip is something a photograph just truly cannot capture (well mine can't anyway). The man with the always green helmet , Allan Cooke hit the course going upside down and around getting the better of his injured knee. Garret Reynolds

pulled out the lip tricks with some flairs for good measure. It was hard to write that without referring to his size 4 jeans. San Diegan Gary Young was the only rider all day to make use of the one corner wallride. I know it was him riding because he hit the thing at 60mph. Daniel Dhers and his gum guard were back in action as well as the South American hit the course with video game like precision. This guy is like an elastic band tied to a bike with all his tailwhips and 360's down flatbanks. A fall in his first run cost him a few points but had a trouble free second run.

Not only were the Dew PR l adies helpful at all times but also happened to be outrageously good looking as well. So thank you to them for accommodating myself.
