This was the first year that mother nature gave us perfect weather for this event and jumps were super fun with two different lines and a 20ft spine. Steven Murray made it out too! Hucker was one of the top picks to take the winning but with a real bad crash (splitting his eye open and a couple fractures in his face) had to sit out... Ryan Nyquist jumped in the crowd towards the end for a little crowd surfing. Silverstine, Vandals and Bad Religion were awesome. The roller Derby girls were crazy same for the wrestling...

I really wanna give a big thanks to everyone at Clark County Parks and rec for making this event reality, West and his whole staff at desert breeze park, BIG big Thanks to Larry and his crew for getting the dirt in place, all of the riders that came out plus the crow going wild! Hope to see you next year!
