Backyard was pretty off the hook with pro's and "expert" riders sending themselves. Prettyt much all the riders in the finals took it hard a good few times Morgan Wade bailed out of some wild transfer and fell along way to the flat but stretched oput all catlike and somehow got away with it, carring on to tie in highest air with bas keep. Gary young did the line and a few more to get the win and snickers cash i could kep going on but i wo'nt. It seemed like every pro i've ever thought i'd wanna emulate their riding was there and it had every thing including a bunnyhop contest which my mate george did pretty well in, staying in untill the 41" mark. There was some hench english dude with bright orange forks who looked like he could clear his own head height. He had removed his seat gain a little advantage but just clipped the bar at 44" and Seth Kimborough cleared it nice. There were something like 90 odd pro's and 106 ameteur riders which is rediclulous so Grotbags was obviously a bit delirious by the end of the weekend, and the crowd were getting antsy in the pantsie during practice on the sunday so a few of the freebee snickers were getting an airing. When it was all over best trick being the last event and everyone had beat the crap out of themselfs especially beringer, they had the prize giving which was kinda odd cos they were filming the contest for the exreme cannel so everyone who made the podium got a camera and a mike pointed at them and were kinda expected to say a little bit, which was cool for the seasoned american comp riders i guess but the guy who won ametueur looked pretty scared of all.
Anyway i've waffled on for long enough here's a little vid of the clips i got with my digi camera from the stands and no i did'nt get garys gap to angled curved wall to whip gap or morgans scary bail, or even ben hennon pulling the truck to whip, cos its always better to see it with your own eyes than through the little screen on the back of my camera.
