In the BMX Park event, Dhers, of Venezuela scored 93.33. Australia’s Ryan Guettler was second with 92.50 and Mike Spinner of Miami finished third with 92.33. “In my first run I started messing up trick after trick, and I was like, ‘That’s it, it’s over,’” Dhers said. But all that changed on his second run. Moments before, Dhers said he decided to take his hands off the handlebars while he performed a flatspin 720, increasing the difficulty. He landed the trick and continued with three double tailwhips, a 720 over the spine and a no-footed can can tailwhip. “I got on the deck, I heard my song coming on, and I was like, ‘No, no, one more battle and we’ll see what’s up.’ I’m seriously so happy to get the win.” Mirraco riders Ryan Guettler and Mike Spinner were stoked on their podium finishes.
