I’m in Shanghai right now at the Asian X Games. I got 2nd/silver medal in vert, right behind Jamie Bestwick by only 1 point. I actually beat him in qualifiers and then was in the lead in the final but slid off an alley oop 540 and ended up 2nd. I’m really happy with the result and happy to get so close to Bestwick.
Dennis Enarson won street last night, beating Garrett Reynolds. It’s been a pretty amazing trip for us Rockstar bmx boys so far.
