After taking seventh in open qualifiers and second in the prelims, Hult hit the eject button in his first run, putting the pressure on him for his final two runs. A truckdriver tailwhip and 360 to downside whip helped secure the victory for Hult, the first of his career. Hult beat out the past two Dew Cup champions – 2007’s Ryan Nyquist and 2008’s Cam White – to make the feat that much more impressive.
