Dirt prelims on Friday were plagued with heat and humidity. Tonight, however, mother nature threw us a bone, kicked in a cold front and dropped the temperature down to 62 degrees. Fall has finally hit Florida—a perfect atmosphere for Dew Tour Dirt Finals and the fight for the overall Dew Cup. What a Finals it was – every past winner of the Dew Cup was in tonight's event (Guettler, Napolitan, Nyquist, and White), and the field of twelve put on a great show for the Orlando crowd. And the overall winner is…Ryan Nyquist. The pressure was eased up a little bit for this Dew Tour veteran (and living BMX legend) considering that as long as he didn't dip below sixth place in tonight’s event, he would be leaving Orlando with a Dew Cup. Ending up in fifth tonight did the trick, and Nyquist won another Dew Cup to go with the one he took home in 2007.

Tonight’s Finals hosted a pretty interesting chain of events. Firstly, Brandon Dosch kept bouncing back and forth in the top two slots. With ridiculously consistent runs, he held things together with

1 Ryan Nyquist 354
2 Brandon Dosch 348
3 TJ Ellis  277
4 Dennis Enarson  270
5 Rob Darden  241
6 Josh Hult 100  209
7 Cameron White 206
8 Luke Parslow 205 

Out of the 31 riders competing in today's BMX Park prelims, choosing the top nine who will advance to Sunday's Finals has got to be a brutally hard decision for the judges. Everyone that rode went high and pulled a dozen tricks out of their bags. But the really difficult part was the fact that each rider had to pedal as fast as possible to make use of the whole course. Stamina was key. And each of these facets is taken into consideration when placing riders into the finals. Prelims were phenomenal.
