Left work a little early today to drive downtown to the Staples Center and watch BMX Dirt. What can I say, big jumps, big names, big logos.

All I know is that Mike Aitken is really dialed. He was totally ripped off by the judges, don't know how he finished. I do know that he 180 Lookbacked the last jump in the line that was 20 feet and even cleaned the roll out with a fakie up the turnaround ramp, dialed.

Placing goes like so:

3rd - Anthony Nepolotain - standard double tire grab front flip

2nd - Ryan Nyquist - he did another 720 barspin, nuts.

1st - Mr 3pete himself, Corey Bohan. Cory went to first with his first run and never looked back. That run went a little something like this: No hand 1 foot to whip, 360 1 foot flattie to look back??? Not sure, barspin to whip. Cleaned them all with tons of styleee thrown in.

Other honerable mentions are Cameron Wood with triple whip after triple over the first set. He kept trying to front flip tranfer the second set and it never worked out for him.

I was excited to see Nasty ride, he messed up in run 1 and hurt his messed up knee on a practice run. Can you say out? He finished up the contest with a strip tease as he threw everything off his back to the crowed. I do believe he kept his chones on.

That's all I got. Skate Vert was insane, mainly because of the ramp. Go to expn.com and poke around, there are some cools things to be found.-ben
