“Ocean City, Md. – Aug. 17, 2012 – Jamie Bestwick won his eigth consecutive overall BMX Vert title at the Dew Tour tonight. As the sun set over the ocean at the Pantech Beach Championships, Bestwick came from last place to edge out Vince Byron in the second round of the BMX Vert Finals with a solid last run that included a turndown flair, tailwhip flair and downwhip turndown. Bestwick also landed a seatgrab knack-knack, invert 540 and opposite flair. The competitor field was made up of the top six finishers from yesterday’s first round of the final contest. After finishing first in Round 1, Bestwick’s fellow Brit Simon Tabron rounded out the podium in third place.
“I’m happy to win,” said Bestwick. “I’m probably the most experienced on the ramp, and most experienced at the Dew Tour and I know how to put a run together. I was under pressure from the riders because Vince and Simon were just running away with it. But I just kind of worked my way around the ramp, hitting tricks and it worked out.”
The Pantech Beach Championships continues tomorrow with Skate Vert Finals, BMX Mega 2.0 Finals and six concerts, headlined by Wolfgang Gartner.

Here’s part one from the Monster team trip from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City, Utah. Looks like these guys had a hell of a good time and Jamie Bestwick rides everything but a vert ramp! Can’t wait to see part two.
“The Monster BMX team jumps in the bus and hits the road from Los Angeles to Utah. Pit stops include Barstow and 50/50 BMX show in Salt Lake City. 456!
Featuring Jamie Bestwick, Scotty Cranmer, Pat Casey, Dakota Roche, Ryan Guettler, Andy Buckworth, Vince Byron and Catfish.”
This turned out real good. If you haven’t had enough X-Games footage, hit this video.

Well, X-Games park and vert went down yesterday and it was a mix of expected and unexpected results. Daniel Dhers went down HARD in qualifiers leaving him out of the race to defend his gold medal that he got last year, leaving Scotty Cranmer the opportunity to take it home this year. As you can imagine, Jamie Bestwick continued his reign as the vert kind for his 6th straight gold medal! Holy… hell.

You can’t go wrong with some Jamie Bestwick footage. This gives you some insight into how he thinks and how he prepares for things like a 6-peat at the X-Games. Dude is a hell of a guy.
“Jamie Bestwick recently came to town to shoot the Astars “Security” commercial for X Games. He flew out a couple days early to squeeze in some vert time with fellow X Games competitor PLG and some knee draggin’ at Chuckwalla. In between all the action we sat him down for some reflection and insight. A bit of a chin wag if you will.”
Here’s a look at the new Alpine Stars commercial featuring Jamie Bestwick that will be running during the X-Games. That’s a whole lotta metal.
