“I’m really excited that I finally won a big park contest and what better place than the Pantech Beach Championships,” said Banasiewicz. “I was so glad to ride clean and solid for all three runs.” Earlier in the day, the Mega 2.0TM ramp hosted BMX athletes who proved they weren’t afraid of heights. In a tight battle to the finish, Zackery Warden threw down a solid final run to tie Chad Kagy, landing a backflip bike flip into a triple tailwhip. With a collection of higher scores and more consistent runs throughout the contest, Warden was awarded the top spot. Vince Byron went home with third place.
“It means a lot to win, especially at Mega 2.0TM at the Beach stop of the Dew Tour,” said Warden. “I’ve been riding this ramp a lot and I’ve been on the Dew Tour for seven years now, so to finally pull out a win here in Ocean City means a lot to me.” The Dew Tour continues on for its City stop in San Francisco October 18-21 and will culminate in December in Breckenridge, Colo. for the Mountain stop of the 2012 season.
