Spinner said he had been contemplating whether or not he would attempt the quad whip since he arrived at the event and was ecstatic when he landed the trick.  "That was the first time I've ever rolled away from it. I am so happy right now," Spinner said. "I love the progression. That's what drives me every day to ride my bike. I did what I came to do. I messed up the triple whip on the quarter so if I would have kept going maybe I would have given Daniel a run for the money."

In the BMX vert finals, the final two athletes to compete, Jamie Bestwick and Chad Kagy were tied for the lead with 94.50. Bestwick, of Great Britain, executed a flawless run which included a downside tailwhip X up. Kagy, of Gilroy Calif., fell while attempting a double whip flair and placed second. Australian Steven McCann finished third with 93.33.

"I was just keeping the height and didn't stop tricking," Bestwick said. "I tried to capitalize on their mistakes. That was right to the end tonight. It was a really awesome final. I wished Chad had landed that double whip flair. There are three stops left and I know everyone's gunning for me."

In the BMX Dirt Final, Cameron White established his dominance on the dirt course and won the final. The 24-year old White, of Australia, landed his signature trick, a backflip barspin tailwhip, to secure the victory with a 93.92 score. Fellow Australian Ryan Guettler finished second at 92.50 and Ryan Nyquist of Greenville, N.C. was third at 91.59. The 90-minute final was full of technical tricks, with a 1080 from Guettler and a double backflip from Luke Parslow, who finished sixth.

The four-day competition was the second of five stops on the Dew Tour that features skateboarding, BMX and freestyle motocross drew 51,327 fans.
