Here’s a highlight reel of the Dew Tour Portland park finals that went down yesterday. Plenty of bangers.

Eastern Poland and Germany Tour Flyer
Eric Holley, Brian Wizmerski and Leigh Ramsdell will be making their way over to Poland and Germany in a few days here. While they are there it looks like they will be meeting up with a few of their German and Poland team riders. If you can make it to any of their stops, be there. I’m sure they will have a bunch of goodies for you too.
Dew Tour Portland – Park Results
“Portland, Ore. – August 13, 2011 – Scotty Cranmer and Kyle Baldock battled it out to the last minutes of the BMX Park Final at the Portland Invitational. Cranmer broke through to finish first with a run that included a tailwhip to no-footed can-can, a no-handed front flip and a flip double whip over the hitching post – the banger that ended his run. Cranmer’s final score of 92.00 allowed him to pull ahead of Baldock’s 91.38. Daniel Dhers rounded out the podium in third place. This was Cranmer’s first win since Salt Lake City in 2007, and his fifth Dew Tour win overall.
“I watched the replay and it still doesn’t make sense that I actually landed it,” said Cranmer of his flip double whip. “My foot felt like it was miles away and somehow made it to the pedal. It was in God’s hands – I thank him for it. But also, none of my friends got hurt today and I thank God for that more than anything.”
Tonight’s BMX Park Final marked the second stop of the event on this season’s Dew Tour. The current rankings stand until the riders compete for the Dew Cup at the Dew Tour Championships in Las Vegas, Nev., October 13-14. Following their strong finishes in Ocean City, Cranmer, Baldock and Dhers have placed themselves as top contenders for the 2011 BMX park Dew Cup. “If I did somehow get the Dew Cup, it would be fantastic,” said Cranmer. “It would be something amazing to check off the list. I’ve got 2nd place before, so I’d love to get 1st, but either way, I’m psyched. Let’s just live in this day.”
You can catch all of the final runs here.”
