Enarson is Third Athlete to Pull a “Double-Win” in Dew Tour’s History

Salt Lake City, Utah – Sunday, September 19, 2010 – As a follow up to yesterday’s BMX dirt victory, Dennis Enarson of La Mesa, Calif. continued his winning streak in today’s BMX park final at the Toyota Challenge. The last time an athlete has won two disciplines at the same event was with Ryan Nyquist in 2006. Ryan Guettler originally accomplished the same feat in 2005, with all three BMX riders winning both the park and dirt disciplines.

Enarson, 19, threw out his winning run early on in the final with tricks including a flip whip over the spine, an opposite truck driver and a superman seatgrab barspin for a score of 93.25. Defending Dew Cup Champion Garrett Reynolds, age 20 of Toms River, N.J., came in second with a score of 91.25. Venezuela’s Daniel Dhers, 25, came in third with a 90.50, which is enough to keep him in first place in the overall Dew Tour rankings heading into the Championships in Las Vegas.

“I honestly didn’t expect to win both finals,” said Enarson. “I coincidentally rode more dirt jumps recently and I really liked the park course, so it all just came together.”

Dhers, a three-time Dew Cup champion, leads the race for the coveted Dew Cup with a total of 272 points. Reynolds trails close behind with 232 points and Great Britain’s Mark Webb is third in the overall rankings with 212 points.

Over the four-day skateboarding, BMX and freestyle motocross event, 60,576 people experienced the Dew Tour’s Toyota Challenge at EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Dew Tour will continue on to Las Vegas for the final event of the season – the Dew Tour Championships this October at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino.
