And he hauled ass.http://www.redbulleyeinthesky.co.nz/

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..
