 Ry Ny the BMX guy didn't qualify! Frown

Wish GODziek stomped his shit. He's got the gold if he can keep his runs together.

Payouts at these things are f*ckin' pathetic. Bar tuck front a bicycle & get $1,000 for it. Throw a ball or hit it with a stick & get $1,000,000 (or some dumb shit like that).

 That would be awesome, but it is unlikely as they also didn't have live-stream... But maybe there will be a best of video or something like that... Big Grin

 half tricks never go well for me. Unless you count that little half a bar turn i do all the time, and even that is more like a lousy full trick. A half would be to just turn the bars and land. Half flips are the worst.

 Unfortunately there is no computer game where you can do a frontflip bar to tuck no-hander. Come on Redbull and EA, where's dat slopestyle video game?!
