Harnish is a two-time finalist on the Gatorade Free Flow Tour, having won the BMX park contest in Glendale, Ariz. in 2008. “The contest was so much fun,” Harnisch said. “It was sweet to see everyone ride so well and still pull out the victory. Time to start riding more and prepping for the Finals in SLC.” “Another good day for the Free Flow Tour,” Saylor park manager Liz Kane said. “It’s great to see another promising young athlete get the opportunity to take his riding to the next level. I look forward to seeing how Jonny and London [Davis, who won the skate park competition on Saturday] do at the Gatorade Free Flow Tour Finals!”
With the win, Harnisch earns an automatic bid into the Gatorade Free Flow Tour Finals that will take place at the Dew Tour’s Toyota Challenge, September 17-20, 2009.
