| STREET | |
| The riders seemed to like the layout of the street course with a lot of interesting obstacles. Big walls, hips, ledges, quarter pipes, pyramids, spines, even a bridge. Chad Kagy stomped the field in his first of two runs scoring a 95.33 beating out second place finisher Tom Haugen (Minneapolis, MN) who notched a 92.67. Chad crushed the competition, all 66 of em, in the Street Comp. Chad used the whole course and rode solid. In one run Chad pulled a Tailwhip Backflip AND a Double Backflip. One of the other finalists said of Kagy's run "That's the best run I have ever seen." San Diego native, Gary Young, placed third in the street comp, his highest finish in a major BMX competition. |
