Jamie Bestwick won the BMX vert competition at the second annual China Invitational in Beijing, China. Jamie Bestwick, 37, of Great Britain, executed a technical run that included a downside tail whip to late no footed can-can and opposite flair for the win. He earned a score of 94.17. "It took a long journey to get here," said Bestwick, "but the end result was well worth it. A tremendous battle took place on the ramp and it was a chance to inspire a new audience."
