2010 Wendy's Invitational Vert Results

By: Teddy Parker

Jamie Bestwick is big number for same big number in Dew Tour vert. I can't recall the last stop he lost but that's not what's important. What's important is that Vince Byron didn't ride and this stop was close to being the one that Bestwick did not dominate. However, he did. Of course.

Jamie Bestwick... was just Jamie. Higher than anybody, further across than anybody, more difficulty than anybody. Even with an outstanding run by Simon, Jamie seems so far above the rest of the field. Tabron's still biting at his heels though. Simon Tabron earned 2nd place with a clean 900 and a slew of technical 540 variations and stylish tricks at height. Steven McCann took 3rd place with similarly high and difficult walls but lacks the unique bangers like Simons' 9 or Jamie's flair downside thing.

The rest of the field went like this:
4. Jimmy Walker
5. Coco Zurita
6. Chad Kagy
7. Austin Coleman
8. Zack Warden
9. Dennis McCoy
10. Vince Byron (didn't ride)

Steve McCann Wins BMX Big Air

Steve McCann Wins BMX Big Air

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..
