Adam Jones was the big winner Sunday at the PlayStation Pro, not only taking home the title for the individual contest, but also grabbing the Dew Cup and its $75K award.  Jones’ biggest competition for the Dew Cup, Aussie Blake “Bilko” Williams (who won one event this season) did not compete as expected.

Robbie Maddison was close behind Jones in second place, both for the contest and for the Dew Cup, while Metal Mulisha rider Jeremy Lusk was third in both races.

FMX was only a contest event in three of the five AST Dew Tour stops this season, and Jones won this event and last month’s Toyota Challenge in Salt Lake City.

Nate Adams’ reign at the top of the AST Dew Tour has ended after two season.  Adams had a near-perfect season in 2007 after winning four-of-five events and took the 2006 season after Travis Pastrana basically gave it up midway through.

Adams started off the shortened 2008 season with a second-place finish in Baltimore’s Panasonic Open, but he was injured at the Toyota Challenge last month, finishing ninth.  He’s been battling injury ever since and was eliminated from the Dew Cup race after finishing in ninth at the prelims and missing the finals.

Jeremy Lusk took the top spot in the prelims on Thursday, followed by Beau Bamburg, Jeff Kargola and Mike Mason.  They will join Adam Jones and Robbie Maddison in the finals on Sunday.

Aussie Blake “Bilko” Williams is ranked second in the Dew Cup race and has an automatic entry into the finals but is expected to miss the contest thanks to an injury he suffered last month at X Games Mexico.

Bilko’s absence all but assures Adam Jones of his first Dew Cup win (and the $75K bonus that comes with it).  Jones needs to finish in the top three to secure the Cup, and that’s looking pretty likely.

The FMX finals will take place on Sunday from 12-2:00 p.m. and will also be broadcast live on Spike TV.

Americans Sweep Day One in Skateboard Street, Moto X Best Trick and Moto X Step Up in Day One at X Games Mexico
Palacio de los Deportes and Sold-Out Skateboard Street Venue Filled with Roaring Crowd

Mexico City, Mexico – The first day of competition at X Games Mexico kicked off in Mexico City today as an enthusiastic crowd of 10,730 greeted the world-class group of international athletes. Fans celebrated the second year of the event as they watched final competitions in Skateboard Street, Moto X Best Trick and Moto X Step Up at the Palacio de los Deportes.

“We are very pleased to bring X Games Mexico back to our city for a second consecutive year,” said Gerardo Casanova, managing director, ESPN Mexico. “The success of today’s events is proof of the ever-growing action sports fan-base in the city and I am looking forward to even more energy and excitement tomorrow.”

Skateboard Street Final
A sold out venue drew crowds of enthusiastic, cheering fans who filled the stands as skate competitors dazzled with spins, kickflips and gravity-defying tricks. The international lineup included athletes from Mexico, Argentina, Brazil and the US. However, it was the Americans that swept the podium in the competition. Greg Lutzka defended his 2007 X Games Mexico gold medal by stomping tricks on virtually every course feature. His front side 270 noseblunt was what wowed the judges and earned him a winning score of 92.07.

“It’s really good to be back here in Mexico. I couldn’t believe how many people were out there cheering us on,” said Lutzka. “All these guys killed it, but Chaz Ortiz is the new kid to check out – you’ll be seeing more of him. Everyone treats us so well around the world at these different competitions and it’s just a pleasure to be here. I’m psyched.”

Silver medal went to 14-year-old Ortiz who showcased his smooth and aggressive style in an impressive run that included an ollie big spin over bump-to-bump and kickflip back lip over handrail.

“It’s my first time in Mexico City and my first X Games ever, so I couldn’t ask for anything more. It is an honor for me to be here,” said Ortiz on his podium finish. He finished with a score of 91.60.

First-time X Games Mexico competitor Tyler Hendley earned the bronze medal with a score of 85.47.

Moto X Best Trick
The sea of spectators shifted their focus to the arena as X Games 14 Best Trick silver medalist Jeremy Lusk dominated the Best Trick field with a kiss of death back flip. In his second X Games Mexico appearance, Lusk responded to the crowd’s cheers and earned a score of 92.00.

“It feels really good to win. The fans here are pumped up and appreciate that we’re here. I watched my opponents in practice today and stuck with tricks I knew I could land,” said Lusk on what gave him the advantage in today’s competition.

Adam Jones took home the silver medal with his second jump, a dead body backflip that earned him a score of 90.67, but also stunned the crowd with his first jump, his signature Shaolin backflip.

Todd Potter rounded out the competition with the bronze medal and a score of 90.00.

Moto X Step Up
Ronnie Renner edged out his competitors in his X Games Mexico debut as he successfully launched himself 9.14 meters (29.99 feet) into the air and over the bar.

“I came here to take the gold and wasn’t leaving Mexico City without it. People here are amazing, and it’s an honor to come here and ride for the people. To hear them cheering is a real inspiration to win,” said Renner.

X Games Mexico will wrap up tomorrow with BMX Freestyle Street, Moto X Freestyle and Best Whip finals.

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.

There was also a Super Session contest featuring four teams of three riders each battling it out in Step Up, Speed & Style, Quarterpipe Jam and Classic FMX.  Ronnie Renner’s “Team Renner” finished in first, featuring Renner, Travis Pastrana (competing in his only contest of the series) and Thomas Pages.  Pages was riding in place of Andre Villa, who broke his leg during practice on Friday.

The contest took place in the historic Stadion X-Lecia in Warsaw, Poland, with 35,000 fans on hand.  The stadium is scheduled to be demolished and replaced by a new arena.

Swiss FMX rider Mat Rebeaud continued his dominance of the Red Bull X-Fighters tour Saturday as he edged X Games champ Jeremy Lusk in Germany.  Rebeaud has won four of the five X-Fighters event, with Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg taking the Brazillian stop.  Twitch finished in second in the U.S. stop but has missed the last two events because of a nagging thumb injury.

Read on for the official release about the event.  The last X-Fighters contest of the season takes place in Poland on Sept. 6.  For more about the contest, check out the official site.

Rebeaud wins “Rumble in the Ruhr”
Red Bull X-Fighters champion beats rival Lusk

Switzerland’s Mat Rebeaud cemented his dominance of the 2008 Red Bull X-Fighters in Wuppertal on Saturday, notching up his fourth victory of the season in the explosive Oetelshofen Quarry. The Swiss freestyle motocross star defeated rival Jeremy Lusk (USA) in the finals on the penultimate stop of this season’s Red Bull X-Fighters tour which drew 15,000 spectators.

Spain’s Dany Torres and Australian Robbie Maddison were third and fourth at the course, located at the bottom of a limestone quarry in Germany’s industrial heartland where earth-movers and diggers made way for 100-kg motorbikes and their fearless riders.

Rebeaud’s win settled the score with Lusk who beat him at the X-Games in California earlier this month and means the Swiss rider is well on his way to lifting the trophy at the end of the Series. “You only have one chance here so there is a lot of pressure,” said Rebeaud. “I am very happy though. I have had a great season this year: four wins plus second in the X-Games.”

German giants Busty Wolter, who reached Round 2, and Fabian Bauersachs, who was knocked out in Round 1, helped whip the Wuppertal crowd into a frenzy during a night of spectacular riding on a tricky, tightly-arranged track that riders said was the toughest so far this year.

Rebeaud’s victory in the Red Bull X-Fighters’ maiden visit to Germany means the Swiss rider now looks unbeatable in the overall series, reinforcing his likely role as successor to retired American whiz kid Travis Pastrana who won in 2007.

After visiting Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Fort Worth in Texas, Madrid and now Wuppertal, the Red Bull X-Fighters’ next and final stop of the season is scheduled for September 6th at the Stadion X-lecia in Warsaw, Poland.

With Japan’s Taka Higashino sidelined after a brutal crash in training on Thursday, the “dirty dozen” were reduced to just 11 riders by Satruday who battled to impress the panel of five judges on a course built 75 metres down in the bottom of the Oetelshofen Quarry. German Touring Car Masters driver Martin Tomczyk added a dab of four-wheeled expertise to the proceedings with his appearance in an off-road Race Touareg.

Tonight’s results put Lusk, Maddison and Torres in close competition in the overall classification behind Rebeaud. A nagging thumb injury forced the other possible contender, America’s Jeremy ‘Twitch’ Stenberg, to sit out the rest of the season.

After visiting Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Forth Worth in Texas, Madrid and now Wuppertal, the Red Bull X-Figthers’ next stop is scheduled for September 6th at the Stadion X-lecia in Warsaw, Poland.

Lusk Usurps Mat Rebeaud to Claim His First Moto X Freestyle Gold
“No Such Thing As Luck In This Sport” – Jeremy Lusk

LOS ANGELES – 23-year-old Lusk puts together a mind-boggling final run as he goes head-to head against Mat Rebeaud in the final round of the Moto X Freestyle.

“There’s no such thing as luck in our sport. It’s just one rider that rode better at the end of the day,” Lusk stated matter of fact after he donned the gold medal.

Lusk’s run consisted of an Indian air, a superman seat-grab backflip, a cliffhanger, an under-flip, a rock solid Indian air and a knack-knack flip that brought the sellout crowd to its feet.

Rebeaud put good effort in trying to knock out Lusk with his final run attempt. He stuck a one-handed can-can, a suicide flip and a no handed flip but was unable to top Lusk’s score.

“It was very close. Jeremy was running very good,” Rebeaud said. “A silver medal is good for me at the X Games. I’m happy.”

Taking the bronze for the night was Mike Mason who was pleased with the new “Knockout” format introduced this year at the Moto X Freestyle Final. He took out Jeremy “Twitch” Stenberg to claim the third place spot.

“I brought my A game. The new format was awesome. It adds a new element to it,” Mason said.

Saturday night’s Moto X Freestyle final wraps up the third day of X Games 14. Check back tomorrow for more action from the Skateboard SuperPark final and the Rally Car Racing Super Special final.

Kyle Loza Claims Gold With the “Electric Death” in the Moto X Best Trick Final
Loza Strikes Gold for the Second Consecutive Year With a New Backflip Variation

LOS ANGELES- The excitement continued this evening as X Games 14 charged ahead with the Moto X Best Trick final. Kyle Loza defended his gold medal from last year by successfully landing another new trick, the “Electric Death”.

The new trick was a variation of a backflip that included performing a body-varial mid flip. Fans will remember Loza’s stirring win last year with his then newly- invented trick “The Volt”, which is also a variation of a backflip.

Loza scored a 94.00 on his first attempt at the “Electric Death”, and subsequently won the final with his first of two runs. He opted out of taking his second attempt after none of the other competitors were able to top his first run score.

“I pictured myself doing this trick, and am so excited I was able to pull it off here at the X Games. It was great to have my parents here to see me do it.” Loza stated after sticking the trick.

Jeremy Lusk scored just behind Loza in second place by wowing the crowd, and himself, with an over extended backflip double grab.

Todd Potter, took home the bronze with a “Kiss of Death” backflip in the Moto X Best Trick final and built on his momentum by winning the Moto X Best Whip event.

Potter won the Best Whip contest, which was judged by the fans via text message voting, with 39% of the votes. He was all smiles when he said, “Just winning one medal is a good night for me, winning two is even better.”
