He pulled off an Indian Air on the first table top, then he did a massive 360 step down off the ladder drop, he dialled in a tail whip near the bottom of the course and then he completely aired over the final stunt the “Green Monster” wall ride.


“How awesome is this,” said Bearclaw after his 3-Peat victory. “Winning Monster Park 3 years in row means a lot to me.”

Another up and coming team rider from Race Face, Wayne Goss, cracked the top ten and finished in 9th place.
