Two big sets first (with three different take offs) followed by a huge hip (7 feet high) to the left or to the right. It was basically a take off with a huge spine behind it made out of dirt.
The dirt finals was moved from friday to saturday after a latvian rider crashed hard on a doubleflip. It looked like he could have been paralized, but the report on saturday was that he only had gotten a very bad concussion. Lucky devil.
Ryan Nyquist (HARO) pulled flips, 360s and more. Everything superhigh and supersmooth.
Ryan Jordan (Fly bikes) took second. His list of tricks was 360s and I think there was a tailwhip in there as well. Don't remember everything.
Colin MacKay took third place. He pulled 360s, tailwhips and a tailwhip to full barspin on the hip.
Steve Murray was back in Europe trying a little too hard and crashing some, but pulled the 360-flip-turndown over the hip.

Street expert prelims were held when the place had dried up. 163 riders. Fortunately not all of them showed up. Riders do get inventive when they do not have enough money. They figured out that registering for the contest was cheaper than paying the entry fee to get in all weekend. Free party entrance too if you're a rider so that's a bonus. 20 riders made it to the final, it took a couple of hours to get that far.

Ryan Nyquist (Haro) won. He did rocket-wallrides, a nosebonk to nohander over the subrail-spine, a nice footplant-invert on the ramp-to-wall. And as a last trick he did a 360-lookup-backflip over the spine. Trick of the day !
