Dave Mirra, Ryan Nyquist, Mike Spinner and Jamie Bestwick were among the riders to miss the cut.

Following Dhers on the podium were Gary Young and Diogo Canina, who just won the BMX Big-Air Triples event in Orange County on Thursday night.  Morgan Wade, Corey Bohan and Dennis Enarson also made the cut.

Corey Bohan Soars to New Heights

Corey Bohan (AUS) conquered one of the most insane BMX courses ever constructed, to be crowned winner of Red Bull Empire of Dirt 2008. It wasn’t easy: forty of the world’s best BMX riders descended on Devon and for the last two days have competed for one of the most desirable prizes in BMX: winner of the world’s first BMX dirt slopestyle competition. After last year’s was cancelled due to poor weather conditions, this year’s competition and course exceeded all expectations. 5,000 people negotiated the tight lanes, flocking to a small field to witness the gravity defying tricks on the 400m long dirt and wood course. From the very first practice session on Tuesday afternoon all the way through to today’s final the standard has been sky high… just like many of the tricks!

Yesterday 33 riders started the qualifiers and by the end of the day the number had been whittled down to an excited 16. The finals read like a who’s who of the BMX world. In the Super Final it came down to just four men, and after one spectacular run each it was Aussie powerhouse Corey Bohan (92.67) narrowly beating US legend Gary Young (91.00). Another Australian Dane Searle grabbed third with 90.67 with event creator and Devon-local hero Kye Forte taking the last spot on the podium with a score of 86 after crashing on this run.

Kye Forte said: “At this event I’m a rider and an event organiser so it was hard to juggle both, especially after qualifying first yesterday. On the start ramp, for the Super Final, there was a lot of pressure on me and I knew Corey, Gary and Dane were going to go full out to take top spot. I tried to step it up, took a risk, and crashed in my run but it was an amazing event and I’m really happy everyone had such a good time. It was rad.”

The construction of the Red Bull Empire of Dirt course took three months alone and it is the only one of its kind on the planet. The course required 10,000 tonnes of dirt to sculpt the huge dirt superpipe, massive double jumps, hip, wall rides, and the many other features which have never before been combined.
