This week on FUEL TV's The Weekly Update With Boost Mobile, FuelTV brings you complete highlights from the first stop of the 2007 AST Dew Tour, the Panasonic Open in Baltimore, Maryland.

At the BMX Dirt competition, Ryan Nyquist pulled out the victory on his last run, while Cameron White landed in second and Chris Doyle took third. Despite all the amazing performances there was a tragic moment during the BMX Dirt competition. 27-year-old Stephen Murray broke his neck attempting a back flip.

He was rushed to the hospital and underwent surgery to stabilize his injuries. Murray remains under close watch at University Hospital in Baltimore.

This was the first time there was a jam format in BMX Park, and taking advantage of it was last year's Dew Tour Champion Daniel Dhers, with newcomer Mike Spinner taking second and Dennis Enarson in third.

In BMX Vert, Jamie Bestwick continued his dominance with his fifth win in a row dating back to last year. Coming in second was Chad Kagy, while Jimmy Walker took third.
