Gary Young Wins Simpel Session in Finland

8/21/11

We just got news via Twitter that Vans rider Gary Young won the Simpel Session Summer Contest in Helsinki, Finland this weekend. The Simpel Session Summer Event is gaining popularity, since it isn't 10 degrees and snowing, and is attracting more teams and pros via road trips and European filming missions. Gongrats to Gary for dropping the hammer this weekend. We heard there was even a naked dude riding the course by the end of the contest. Madness.

Scotty Wins Park at Dew Stop #2

Well what began as a great prelims day for Vans BMX Pro Scotty Cranmer, continued to finals day were he wrapped up victory and stood high on the podium at Dew Tour stop 2 in Portland, Oregon.

Scotty was tied with Kyle Baldock (Vans Flow) after first runs, and then Scotty upped his first run with a wild flip double whip over the sub rail on the buzzer.

Kyle gave it his all but couldn't get it together at the end and it was all over. I believe Scotty hasn't won a Dew stop since 2007! It's been a long time coming around that's for sure. Scotty's on fire in 2011 and I could easily predict another win before the years out.

Vans team mate Gary Young rode with a small knee injury but squeaked into the finals, and managed 9th place once he was there. Ryan Guettler did very well to break through the Open Qualifier and into Prelims then earned a spot in the finals. It just wasn't Gute's day though and he ended up 12th. Great to see Ryan with some confidence though after missing most of last years events with double shoulder surgery.

RideBMX has a video of the finals HERE.

Kyle Baldock sits in first for over all points, but Scotty is just 18 points behind with the 3rd and final park stop earning points and a half! That all goes down Oct 13-16 in Las Vegas.

Scotty of Fire at Dew Park Portland!

8/12/11


Today it was Scotty Cranmer's day in Portland, Oregon at Dew Tour Park. It was obvious after his first run that he was going to be tough to beat. It was one of those runs that just came together wonderfully right to the 45 second buzzer.

The bad news is that it was prelims and hopefully he can pull it again tomorrow!

Park finals begins at 7pm pacific (Saturday) and Scotty joins Vans team mates Ryan Guettler and Gary Young who pulled through on his last run in prelims to squeak in there in 9th! Good job boys it was a great show today. Awesome to see Guettler hold it together and make the finals. Has anyone ever done a front-flip over a hip? Guettler did one today, look for another tomorrow.

Vans flow and Stop 1 winner, Australian Kyle Baldock will be also competing. Kyle got to watch prelims today and got a ticket straight into the finals as a bonus for winning stop 1.

Should be a good one, look for it live on NBC.
