barspin and a rail ride to tailwhip out. Chad Kerley and Bruno Hoffmann finished in a close second and third. Reynolds took the win humbly, enjoying a weekend of riding the street course. “I think the idea behind the course was really great with all the famous San Fran spots,” he said following the contest. “It’s always awesome to see everyone’s approach because a lot of the street riders have unique ideas. I have a lot of fun being out there with people I look up to, so it’s just cool to be in the mix.”
San Jose native Ryan Nyquist took advantage of the hometown setting to come out on top at the BMX Dirt Finals. Crowds were held in suspense until Nyquist’s third run put him in the lead. He landed a double barspin flip, 720 barspin and 450 barspin to beat out second place finisher TJ Ellis and third place finisher Colton Satterfield. “I knew I needed to step it up completely and that’s what I did,” said Nyquist. “It feels really good to win - amazing is more like it. It’s so good to be in northern California with so many friends and family around. It’s just awesome.”
Following the Dirt Finals, seven riders competed in the GoDaddy.com BMX Dirt Best Trick contest. Kyle Baldock walked away with the win, landing a cliffhanger front flip. The Toyota City Championships continue tomorrow with the debut of Skate and BMX Streetstyle on Harrison St.
