If there was one rider that flowed the vert ramp in SLC it was Jamie Bestwick. He simply ruled that giant vert ramp from left to right. He went all directions, traveled alley-oop style and had so much flow it was unreal. He almost wouldn't need any variations to win the vert class, just watching him ride you know who's the king.
Simon Tabron finished as runner up riding with a fractured hand. He was in plaster off the ramp but he took that off when he got closer to

the halfpipe. He's got 900-s on lockdown, you know that helps.
Steve McCann made the podium a foreign affair over there in the USA. He's the most improved vert rider of the year and understandibly lacks a bit of flow/experience/solidness that the top two Brits have. Respect though for what he's been doing. He rode Park and Dirt as well. Being competitive in three classes is hard.
McCoy did well on vert and got very close to that 900 to revert.

In Park the 40 year old went a bit over his head to keep up with the younsters and was walked off the course.
Zack Warden on the other hand has got a future ahead of him. He did not make the street finals but placed 7th in vert behind old aces
Jimmy Walker (5th) and
Jay Eggleston (6th).
Kevin Robinson has had better days (8th) and
Parker + Mancuso rounded off the top ten in the finals.
Chad Kagy was still recovering from a broken collarbone but he was present and rolled in to get his paycheck. He didn't bother bringing his own bike so he just borrowed a bike to get the job done.
