Dirt finals. Cleveland makes it, Guettler doesn’t!
Big surprise in Dirt is that 2005 overall Dew champ Ryan Guettler missed the top 12 cut. After a double tailwhip and a front flip over the first two sets, Ryan was going for a new trick where he throws a tailwhip, grabs the seat and then stretches this position with his legs crossed. It looked like he had it but upon landing he did crash and was carried off on a stretcher being ko’d. Ryan got up by the time the prelims were over missing out on some valuable points of stop one. Mirraco’s Michael Cleveland showed he can ride more than park alone by making it to the Dirt finals in this strong field and finished 11th. In the meantime Dave Mirra has qualified for the vert finals that are being held tomorrow.

Ryan Guettler’s crash was definitely a shocking one but I think we all knew he would try something totally insane. Park was definitely my favorite becuase everyone was so pumped…I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. Can’t wait to see what goes down at stop 2 in Denver, Good Luck Mike C., Ryan G., and Dave M.!
