CHICAGO (AP) Dave Mirra won the BMX park finals and four-time Dew Cup champion Jamie Bestwick won the BMX vert finals on Saturday at the Dew Tour’s Nike 6.0 BMX Open.
With a score of 93.38, Mirra received his first Dew Tour park win since the 2005 Toyota Challenge. Garrett Reynolds placed second with a 92.63 and Marcus Tooker followed in third with a 92.38.
Mirra’s run included a flawless air traffic controller — his signature move — a flair whip and a 720 over the box.
Jamie Bestwick, the only BMX vert Dew Cup champion in the Dew Tours five-year history, started off the 2009 season with a first place-podium finish with a score of 92.88. Simon Tabron came in second with a 91.50 and Steven McCann rounded out the podium in third with a score of 91.25.
Bestwick reached the top podium spot by landing tricks like an alley oop downside tailwhip, an alley oop 540 and an opposite no hander.
