The Dubai X-games are on its way. Vert prelims just took place and it was semi-local Simon Tabron who came out on top which will give him a place in the final straight away. The event has a different set-up. The 8 riders that are left will be split up in two groups with the winners of each group going to the finals. Place two and three in each group will go for the final battle for a spot in the final which will have a total of four riders. You're still with me? It sounds more complicated than it actually is. Simon rode very well to nail the first position giving him possibility to sit down tomorow until the finals will start. Steve McCann was after the first position too to make it easier on himself but he got stuck on second place. Jay Eggleston aired high to finish up the top three. 4th went to Koji Kraft, 5th Zack Warden, 6th, Jean-Marie Baertsch, 7th Eduardo Terreros and Jan Valenta got 8th. Dave Brumlow finished on 9th. More tomorrow.
