Despite windy conditions throughout the competition, X Games gold regular Jamie Bestwick and fellow British rider Simon Tabron put on a dazzling display in front of 4,700 fans in the BMX Vert final in day one at KIA X Games Asia 2010. Though Tabron quickly set the bar in the final by solidly landing a 900 in the new jam format, Bestwick still managed to surpass his fellow countryman by a single point with double-downside-whips, downside-whips-to-x-ups and superman-seat-grab-Indian airs as only Jamie can. The United States’ Austin Coleman rode a solid competition and rounded out the podium taking home the bronze.
“When Simon dropped in for his last run, I was a bit worried,” said Bestwick. “I knew that if he pulled off the 900, it would be tight and he did a beautiful 900. But you know, in competitions, there are days when you win by 10 points and some days where it’s just one and that’s the way it goes.”
It's Thursday and today the complete vert contest was held at the Asian X-Games. The wind had picked up a little but the 10 riders had to deal with it in front of a rather small crowd. Vert finals on a Thursday is kinda weird in itself but the camera's were rolling so you'll get to see it on TV at some point. After the qualifying runs were over the following riders made it to the finals. Qualifying in first was Simon "007" Tabron, followed by Jamie Bestwick, Coco, Austin Coleman and Vince Byron. But for the finals things switched up a little.
