After a delay for winds, Dual Speed and Style got underway this afternoon after Slope finished up. Kyle Strait takes the win and T-Mac took second. Sam Reynolds takes third place. Bubba Warren and Tomas Slavik both crashed and retired early.
Back flip variations were the most popular way to get points of the first jump.

I remember reading an interview with Cam Zink, where he said that in his opinion Kyle Strait was the most naturally talented rider he knew. Rad to see him take it, and T Mac in there as well.
I remember Zink saying that in a cover article on Kyle in Bike Magazine from about 5 or 6 years ago, and I'm inclined to agree. He's been in the mix at the highest professional level since he was a grom, and has ridden every Rampage. Dude's a living legend.
I really dislike this course. So far the best one has been the Rotorua one, but this one is a new low. One lane is clearly faster than the other, due to that stupid bowl feature. Going around the inside seemed to slow the riders down much more than that outside, and they come so close to colliding. Why couldn't they just do two huge berms there or something, just anything else.
Pretty sure the Great British Empire came and colonised almost half the planet, but you don’t study history over there, as you have two tenths of f*ck all history. You’re trying to say you knobbed my dad? You’re a weird one. Let’s leave this here as it’s a waste of time. Plus, you can’t even seem to use capital letters. Showing your overriding intellect.
@cunning-linguist: your not worthy of anyone using proper english. btw I didn't just say it and it's MOM not mum. mum means unforthcoming, unlike you sister last night.
@makripper: Brilliant! I don’t have a sister. Better get checked out, she may have given you more than false news! Mum in English is short for Mother. I still don’t understand why Americans and Canadians claim to speak English, they’re not even close. Retard!
@cunning-linguist: look up the english definition of mum. not your pikey slang. nah sorry not pikey, you must be from liverpool. sister,dad same difference, they both moaned for more. "false news" yeah thats way more catchy than fake news. good use of the english language. No wonder your country has been raided and sacked by every empire known to man. pmsl
@makripper: you have Justin as your president. The weakest faggiest most hopeless melt there ever was. GB is better than Canada whether you like it or not.
I’ll remember what you just said next time I’m stepping off your mum.
