The multiple X Games medalist dominated qualifying and remained untouchable in the main event. His final run, which contained loads of his signature backflip and barspin variations, was flawless and the judges awarded him the well-deserved title.

Nyquist beat a star-studded field of multi-discipline BMX athletes including TJ Ellis, Ben Hennon, Anthony Napolitan, Mike “Hucker” Clark, Michael Beran and Corey Bohan.

Built by just six people in less than four weeks in Guadalajara's Metropolitan Park, the Dave King-designed dirt circuit featured ramps, handrails, a steel capsule and two huge central mounds.
