Hi-Chew Best Trick

1. Thomas Genon


Wow, Brandon Semenuk seems unstoppable at the moment. Once again he threw down what was the winner on his first run. Thomas Genon took home the Hi-Chew Best Trick award with his truck driver to tailwhip combo.


Top 3 First Runs

Brandon Semenuk - 360 x up off the drop, tail whip over the berm to berm, opposite whip on and opposite 360 off the whale tail, hard 3 over the hip, jumping clear over the up box, tuck no over the long low, and a cork 720 over the jump. 96.67 points

Martin Soderstrom - 360 table off the drop, tail whip over the berm to berm gap, tuck no hander onto and double whip off the whale tail, hard 360 table over the hip, truck off the up box, nac over the long low, then a 360 double whip over the jump for 94 points. Only 2.67 points behind Semenuk. Brandon may have to work for this one.

Brett Rheeder - 360 off the drop, opposite whip on and 360 table off the whale tail, truck over the hip, 360 off the up box, tail whip over the long low, and then a front flip over the jump for 90.67 points.


Second Runs

Part way through the 2nd runs there was a rain hold, and then the rain started to really come down. The decision was made to wait for things to dry out a bit before continuing the event.

Semenuk, Soderstrom and Rheeder couldn't quite keep it together on their second runs, so their first-run scores stand.


FMBA Overall

Sam Pilgrim was unable to compete today, leaving the number one spot in the FMBA World Tour open for Martin Soderstrom. This is the first time Martin has been in the FMBA points lead, we'll have to see if he can keep it through Claw's, Crankworx, and Rampage.
