2010 Wendy's Invitational Park Qualifying

By: Teddy Parker

Thirty two riders (that's a lot) in the park qualifying and only nine will advance to ride against the pre-qualified riders that are Mike Spinner, Daniel Dhers, and Garrett Reynolds. The breakdown goes like this:

Drew Bezanson looks to be back on his rampage. Qualifying first in park, he threw down in typical Drew fashion with unique lines and an enormous footjam. 2nd, Craig Mast (wearing a not full face helmet...) blasted some huge tricks on the huge sub box and stomped several whip, spin, and flip variations. 3rd, Brett Banasiewicz did the golden child thing with every difficult trick dialed in one run. 4th, Andy Buckworth went huge with back and front flip variations including a backflip handplant over the spine.

5th, Dennis Enarson brought the big, unique transfers and lines that are peppered with bangers. 6th, Mark Webb simply brought it with a mix of technical, lower tricks and higher banger tricks. 7th, Jeremiah Smith brought the quick, technical tricks one after the other. Vert master Vince Byron brought it to the park and qualified 8th place with a slew of difficult tricks, namely a huge 540 whip. Closely following him is Dave Mirra grabbing the last qualifying spot with huge use of the course and big spin transfers.

Will Bezanson get back on course for "Drew Thousand and Ten"? Or will the current park champions retain their titles on the Dew Tour?

McCann throws solid run of double front to double whip to earn gold

Unfortunately, one of the best riders to do it on the mega ramp and last year's champion, Chad Kagy, came down hard on his leg and would only complete a run worthy of third place earning him the bronze medal. This made the race for gold quite exciting, however, as it seemed to be anyone's game with Kagy only completing a "safety run" (a run to secure a solid score, usually as a first run, to allow for a back-up score in case of not landing more difficult runs).

And so that race..
