Yes, the AST Dew Tour still has FMX and while a couple of major names missed the Toyota Challenge Saturday in Salt Lake City, the field left still represented most of the top riders in the sport. Nate Adams and Blake “Bilko” Williams, who battled for first in Baltimore at the Panasonic Open, both had problems during their first runs. Adams fell during a lazy boy backflip and was knocked out of the competition with two broken fingers. Williams, who broke his ankles last year in Baltimore, was injured after crashing in practice on Friday and rode hurt. He was unable to have a clean run and was obviously in pain after it finished.
That opened the door for the rest of the field, though former X Games gold medalist Adam Jones has proven his skill before and did it again scoring a 94.17 on his first run. Robbie Maddison finished in second with a 92.13, followed by Metal Mulisha rider Jeremy Lusk in third with a 91.59.
Williams did come out for his second run but didn’t score high enough to break the top five, even though he landed three 360 variations.
