Before the event started the Top 12 riders from yesterdays qualification round watched the BMX dirt finals and were super anxious to get on there big bikes and show what they could do. All the riders were a lot more used to the jumps today and were not messing up as much in the qualification rounds.
Curtis Rider Matt Scott was riding the trails for two days before every chance he got, so he looked to be a contender for a top spot. He started off well pulling of some clean flips and 360’s but didn’t do a lot else after attempting a 720 but bailing out mid-spin.
24seven rider Daryl Brown rode well with nice trails style and some cool looking and dialed tricks including tuck no handers, big no footed cans and a 360. Young DMR ripper Sam Reynolds was riding well with some nice 360’s and no footed cans but was ruled out of the competition after having and a very nasty crash.
Taking off to do a tailwhip his foot hit his front wheel and stopped the rotation of the bike and he fell from height over the front and couldn’t carry on. His cool tricks and determination earned him the Nike 6.0 killing it award.
Rory Backshell came in 3rd riding for Identiti pulling off all his tricks with no problem. Barspins, no handers, tailwhips all in consistent runs earned him 3rd place. 2nd place went to Curtis rider Danny Cas. He rode well doing the craziest Indian air seat grabs and a seat grab to tailwhip. Also a couple of attempts at a huge barrel roll earning him 2nd place. 1st place went to Chris Smith.
Chris rode solid for the whole jam pulling of runs including barspin, superman seatgrab and tailwhip. He also threw down suicide 360, a truck driver and 360 tailwhip that would have been a contender for the BMX finals. Although crashing hard towards the end of the Jam he still fully deserved the victory. Well done to all the riders that rode.
