BMX Rocks in Portland

AST Dew Tour Portland, OR
BMX PARK

BMX is OFF the HOOK! Just when you thought you had seen it all, along comes 900’s on the street course, barrel roll 360’s and tailwhips galore. In the words of Jamie Bestwick “The level of riding is off the charts.”

It’s great to see Dave Mirra back again battling it out with the young talent. And, there was lots of young talent at this event. Daniel Dhers has been killing it over the last few seasons and this event was no exception. Barrel rolls and 3 flair variations back to back. How about Scotty Cramner’s triple tailwhip, no handed front flip with an opposite flair thrown in? Diogo Canina did a no handed front flip, downside tailwhip and had stylish runs. Garrett Reynolds landed smooth 900’s and attempted a barspin 900. Not to be topped, Spinner did a 900 and a 1080?!

There were too many tricks to count and enough technicality to make video gamers scratch their head. In the end it was the young talent that prevailed, Mike Spinner’s innovative 1080 was too much to overcome.
