Tomas Lemoine’s graceful first run using the bike’s momentum and a cool Frontflip to finish for a score of 87.00 was enough for 2nd place. Alex Alanko claimed his maiden Crankworx podium in 3rd place after his 80.75 first run with a Cork 720 spin.
Nicholi Rogatkin tried his trademark breathtaking runs, however spilled on the last jump first time out and crashed early second time around to finish 9th.
