"My crank snapped on my first run so I needed a huge second run to win the Cup. Don't think it was planned that way for the dramatic. There was a lot of pressure going into the final run.” - Jamie Bestwick, BMX Vert Dew Cup champion“I wanted to get a first good run and I crashed. And at that point there were no throw-away runs…(Winning the Dew Cup is) one of the biggest accomplishments I’ve had so far, as far as winning a whole complete series, and winning the title.” - Ryan Nyquist, BMX Dirt Dew Cup champion
“Last year after the (Dew Cup) win, I was like, ‘am I really gonna be able to keep up?’ I just went home, practiced hard, and dialed all my tricks. I came here and I really wanted to take it again.” - Daniel Dhers, BMX Park Dew Cup champion
