“When it came to my last run, I knew I could either gamble and go for the win or play it safe. I rolled the dice and it paid off. It's unbelievable to even be in this situation, let alone to win the first stop of the Dew Tour."

Dosch’s second place finish included numerous tailwhip variations like a 360 double whip and a 360 downside tailwhip. His runs secured his first-time podium finish on the Dew Tour, coming in a close second. “It’s a feeling that I’ve been waiting for forever,” Dosch said.

Nyquist finished with a score of 91.38 and pulled out a suicide 360 double barspin. No stranger to the podium, Nyquist secured the third place spot on the first stop of the Tour and showed his support for first-time podium finishers, Hult and Dosch. "I'm incredibly excited for both Josh and Brandon. It's huge for both of them, especially at the first stop of the 2009 season,” Nyquist said. “They've both been around for a while, so it's nice to see their hard work pay off. Something like this definitely makes BMX dirt more interesting. Nobody could have predicted it, and this just shows that there are so many talented riders on the Dew Tour and that any of them can win."

The two-day BMX-only competition is the first event of the five-stop Dew Tour that features skateboarding, BMX and freestyle motocross. Saturday's action features BMX Vert and BMX Park finals.
