Ryan Nyquist continued his domination on the AST Dew Tour collecting his second consecutive event title in the BMX Dirt competition on Friday, July 20 at the Right Guard Open, the second event on the 2007 AST Dew Tour at Cleveland’s North Coast Harbor.
Nyquist of Los Gatos, Calif., completed a flawless final run to overtake Corey Bohan and Luke Parslow of Australia to capture his second event title in as many events. Nyquist finished with a final score of 91.08. Bohan followed close behind at 90.42 and Parslow at 89.67. After two events, Nyquist leads the BMX Dirt tour standings with 200 points, followed by Cameron White at 130 and Bohan in third at 124.

“I’m definitely off to a great start,” said Nyquist. “I’m definitely happy. I had kind of a scare in the second run and knew the 720 was a risky move, but I’m glad I was able to pull it off. It was a great competition and we’ve had some amazing runs this season.”

Nyquist noted that he would donate his winnings, $15,000, to the Stephen Murray Recovery Fund to help Murray, who suffered a career-ending injury at the Panasonic Open last month.
