Jake Brown took GOLD last night beating out a close second place by Bob Burnquist. Jake’s winning run was a slow-rotating-backflip over the big gap to, a 21′4foot high 540-mute-grab landing about a foot below coping. Smooth as can be. Bob was sitting in 2nd with a 93.00. On his last run he came the closest anyone has ever come to landing a 900 out of the 27ft. quarter. He rolled in switch, backside-180 (no grab) over the big gap into a perfect take off. His rotationwas spot on, but he needed about 1 foot more of air time and he would have pulled that.

Just got word via brownscar that Nyquist just missed the cut for street. Taking 10, he was 11. How that happened is beyond me and just shows the level of riding present and the course as well. He said he had trouble finding a good line on the course. Gary Young qualified first, and Hawk is in there as well. Was happy to hear that Darden made it in, maybe a podium chance for Nor Cal. We’ll see. Plus our own Kurt “Crowbar” Yaeger was invited to ride in street as well. Its such a circus now, gone are the days where we could bring our bikes into the stands with us while propping our feet up on a cooler full of cold beer. Good luck boys.
The super park course this year, looks like a fairy tale, fucking Legend of Zelda.

Gary Young should win park by default, especially after getting fucking robbed by that faggot Mike Spinner at the last Dew Tour stop.
