Over 2,000 spectators flocked into Gorge Road Jump Park for the second Red Bull Roast It competition. Forty five riders from around the globe all vied for the top honours, treating the crowd to a BMX dirt-riding spectacle. When the dust settled and the riders’ votes were in, it was Mike “Hucker” Clark (USA) who walked away with “Best Rider” and a cheque for $5,000. Jed Mildon (NZ) took the “Best Line” title and George Bolter (NZ) and Brandon Loupos (AUS) tied for “Best Trick.” 
Red Bull's at it. Not only was the dirt crew busy over in New Zealand and Australia the last two weeks, the ditch rats entered a comp in South Africa. Some ramps had been added to the ditch and a contest went off in the South African heat. We've got a bunch of photos for you and the top three results list. An English rocker won, an Italian Stallion got second and a local shredder got third. 
The Toronto contest, which is a result of the comps that Jay Miron put on over there years ago, took place over the weekend. The pro flatland results look like this:Pro flatland:
