As the last two athletes to ride in the BMX vert finals, Bestwick and Chad Kagy were tied for the lead with 94.50. Bestwick, of Great Britain, executed a flawless run which included a downside tailwhip X up. Kagy, of Gilroy Calif., fell while attempting a double whip flair and placed second. Australian Steven McCann finished third with 93.33.
I was just keeping the height and didnt stop tricking, Bestwick said. I tried to capitalize on their mistakes. That was right to the end tonight. It was a really awesome final.
I wished Chad had landed that double whip flair. There are three stops left and I know everyones gunning for me.
