He does it again. I told you that Ryan Nyquist had a way of knowing exactly what the judges are looking for. He just impresses to the max. Nyquist pretty much let out a banger run that took the lead and could not be topped by any other rider. Though seemingly redundant, his run was a double truck, opposite double truck, truck, and then a 720 truck on the last set.He is the truck driving master. Ryan Nyquist wins Dew Tour Portland.


Dennis Enarson steps up to the task and takes second. Once thought a park and street type rider, Enarson proved that his skills were easily taken to the dirt. He is the whip master. Flip whips, triple whips, nothing TO whip... please, stop the tailwhips!!! Scotty Cranmer takes third and proves himself in a way similar to Dennis as a well-rounded rider. I would almost give Scotty the win with his diversity. Flip whips, no-handed fronties, truck drivers, everything! Brandon Dosch, last event's second placer, takes fourth and Corey Bohan (the qualifying winner) takes fifth...




I told you. But was it ever in question? Sir Jamie Bestwick takes the vert event again. Simon Tabron injured himself in competition, which essentially left the podium up for grabs. Chad Kagy, who wasn't visible much in the last Dew Tour, did what I thought he would and took second place. Steve McCann takes third. Zack Warden takes fourth. And Jimmy Walker takes fifth.

If you haven't seen Bestwick's runs, go see them. Nobody goes higher, harder, faster...



When I gave you a pre-contest blog on this event, I told you to look out for Garrett Reynolds. However, I was just sort of putting him in the race against who I really thought would take it (Dhers or Cranmer). Well, Mr. Reynolds continues his dominance by beating out the Miracle Boy (Dave Mirra) who took second and Daniel Dhers getting third. Mark Webb took fourth and Dennis Enarson took fifth (a good weekend for Enarson no doubt).

This is Reynolds first Dew Tour win, and I think that is because he is competing in park here. There is no street event. But lately we have seen him riding differently and applying more air and even gnarlier combinations that go well with park judges. I don't know what to say about this kid. He's got it. Whatever "IT" is...
