Josh Hult's been competing on the Dew Tour for a few years, but never hit the podium before. I guess he figured he'd make his first one count, running it all the way to the top spot. Josh landed back-to-back double tailwhips in both directions and a truckdriver to downside whip to take his first win. Rounding out the podium were Brandon Dosch in second and 2007 overall Dirt champ Ryan Nyquist.
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..
