It could not have been a closer call between Daniel Dhers (VEN) and Logan Martin (AUS) at the very final UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup of the 2016 season. Both riders were in the hunt for the title and didn't disappoint in either of their runs making life difficult for the judges to pick a winner. Logan Martin's list of tricks that he brought to Chengdu won it over Daniel Dhers' two solid runs full of tricks. But just by the minimal margin. It did however decide who would become the 2016 overall World Cup champion making this stop in Chengdu a thriller of the second degree.
Logan Martin did an amazing decade to barspin over the volcano followed up by a flair downside whip on the quarter followed by many whip flip and flair variations. Dhers countered with his signature no-footed cancan tailwhip, cancan one handed corked 720's, 360 double tailwhip transfer from spine to the landing of the jump box and many of the tricks we're used from the experienced pro from Venezuela. In the end the judges decided on the win in
The BMX Park Amateur finals were ruled by a young Japanese rider who goes by the name of Rimu Nakamura. After checking the Junior class Rimu decided to enter the Amateur class and qualified in first place. During finals the rider from Japan showed tricks that wouldn't look bad in the pro class including tailwhips to barspins over the jump box and a killer no-hander to barspin over the tricky volcano. To finish off his second run he climbed on top of the VIP wall to bomb drop into the quarterpipe far below. First place was his. Australian Alec Danelutti flair whipped to second and Pietras Bartek (CHI) got third.

Fifteen year old Hannah Roberts (USA) had the best cards in her hands to become the 2016 UCI BMX Freestyle Park World Cup champion. After putting a solid run together with tricks like tailwhips, no-handers and backflips over the box, and barspins all over the course, she went for a flair on the quarterpipe and went down hard. The trooper that she is, she got up and put together a second run to not only grab the World Cup win in Chengdu, but also the 2016 UCI BMX Freestyle Park Girls title. Pioneer Cory Coffey (USA) had many lines and a wallride to show in China to grab seond place and second overall for the year.
