Daniel Dhers has won the BMX Park finals at the second stop of the AST Dew Tour at the Right Guard Open in Cleveland, OH. Dhers held off Mike Spinner, who came close but could not catch up with his second run of 91.17. The score was good enough to give Spinner a tie-breaker over Rob Darden, who had the same score and ended up in third.
It was a tight contest, with eight of the 12 riders scoring 90 or above in scoring. In addition for the tie in second-place, Garrett Reynolds and Ryan Nyquist tied for fourth with Reynolds getting the tiebreaker and Drew Bezanson and Craig Mast tied for sixth, with Bezanson getting the edge. In the even of a tie, the rider with the higher score on his second run gets the advantage.
One of the contest favorites, Ryan Guettler, crashed during his first run while attempting a 1080. He landed on his face and received multiple injuries, though none are expected to be serious. However, he could not take to the course for his second run and ended up in 12th place.
