Australian Corey Bohan was third with 90.75. “I qualified last and while I was excited to get in, starting first is a tough spot,” Parslow said. “My first run went well and then I put together the ride of my life.” On his third run, Parslow landed a front flip, a 360 and a double backflip. FatTony, www.ridebmx.com, August 22nd, 2008: I’ve said before that a contest was wild and progressive and so on, but tonight’s dirt finals here in Portland for the third stop of the AST Dew Tour was absolutely unbelievable and by far the most outrageous display of BMX I’ve ever seen in an hour block of time. The first run of the night set the tone for the entire competition. Luke Parslow came out with a 92 point run that included a flip turndown, frontflip, tailwhip into the berm, and a double flip. After that run everyone knew they had to bring their A-game to the area…and so it went. Cory Nastazio had an amazing run that included a table frontflip and 360 backflip, Diogo Canina landed a triple whip, Steven McCann did a no-handed 720 to turndown, Ryan Guettler did a 1080 but took his foot off at the very end, Cameron White did a triple whip, a frontie into the berm, and a whip to barspin, Rob Darden did multiple 720s in a single run, Ryan Nyquist did a nothing to double barspin in one run and in another run did a barspin 720 and a double barspin 720, James Foster did a double flip, triple whip, and windshield wiper, Dennis Enarson did a triple whip, flip whip, and barspin to whip, Corey Bohan did a barspin to whip and tons of stylish 360 variations, then tried to 180 the last set… Whew, that was a mouthful! Told you it was wild!
