Brazilian Rodolfo Ramos, 24, was third with 88.50. “The jam for me is usually where I’m a little better because I don’t have to have the pressure of landing everything first try and I can do more difficult tricks and have a couple tries to do it, “ Rodriguez said. The athletes focused on executing tricks on the rails during the second part of the finals, a 7-minute jam session. The 23-year-old Rodriguez, of Tarzana Calif., landed a technical kickflip backside tailslide down the rail. Chaz, of Chicago, delivered an impressive kickflip frontside salad grind on the rail.

The BMX park finals were highlighted with a heated contest between Daniel Dhers, of Venezuela, and Miami’s Mike Spinner, who landed the first ever quad whip in BMX competition.

“The scariest was the seven in the long box,” Dhers said. “Every time I jumped it I had a different speed. You think you’re not going to make it because it’s so long.”
-
Spinner said he had been contemplating whether or not he would attempt the quad whip since he arrived at the event and was ecstatic when he landed the trick.

“That was the first time I’ve ever rolled away from it. I am so happy right now,” Spinner said. “I love the progression. That’s what drives me every day to ride my bike. I did what I came to do. I messed up the triple whip on the quarter so if I would have kept going maybe I would have given Daniel a run for the money.”
