The Vert dogs wrapped up the Chicago stop of the Dew Tour on Saturday, with Jamie Bestwick coming from last place after his first run to score yet another indisputable win. Bestwick had dropped in for his first run straight to a flair on his first hit, but he didn't come in clean, sliding out on the transition. In run two, he stuck with his more typical monster first air, this time a no-hander, and kept the hits coming like Motown, including a gigantic alley-oop downside tailwhip and alley-oop 540.
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..
