"I was really tired going into this, but that was one of the best runs I've had in a long time," said Bestwick. "I'm so excited and proud of myself, and this puts me in a good position going into Orlando. I want that Dew Cup!"

However Bestwick wasn't the only rider wowing the crowd during the vert finals. Second-place finisher Chad Kagy of Gilroy, Calif. landed a Superman seat grab over the bank gap and a nac nac x-up one-hander during a run that earned him a score of 92.13. The third-place spot on the podium went to Melbourne's Steven McCann, who threw out a tuck no-hander 540 and a flair tuck no-hander for a score of 91.13. Notable riders included Tim Wood of Australia who threw out a 900 followed by a flair in his first run and went for back-to-back 900s in the second. Fellow Aussie Vince Byron competed in his first ever Dew Tour finals, landing tricks like a 540 tailwhip and a 540 barspin.

The four-day competition featuring skateboarding, BMX and freestyle motocross is the fourth of five events on the Dew Tour, which will continue on to Orlando for the conclusion of the 2009 season. Over the four days, 57,329 fans experienced the Dew Tour at Salt Lake City's EnergySolutions Arena.
