Out of a field of 21 BMX riders, Mykely Larrin won the BMX park competition Saturday at the Gatorade Free Flow Tour’s stop in Milwaukee, Wis. to advance to the Gatorade Free Flow Tour Finals.
Twenty one-year-old Larrin from Racine, Wis. earned the BMX park victory at 4 Seasons Skatepark on Saturday after landing a double tailwhip and a backflip during his winning run. Corey Ellis was second and Nick Baner finished in third place.

“I really had an awesome time at the contest today,” Larrin said. “I really appreciate 4 Seasons holding BMX riders down and sticking with us for so many years. Looking forward to getting to Salt Lake City and continuing the fun.”

“The Gatorade Free Flow Tour gives local shredder a platform to take it to the next level,” Neal Levin, owner of 4 Seasons, said. “We’re proud to have 4 Seasons be a part of it.”

With the win, Larrin earns an automatic bid into the Gatorade Free Flow Tour Finals that will take place at the Dew Tour’s Toyota Challenge, September 17-20, 2009.
