Moments ago, Brazilian BMX phenom Daniel Dhers put together yet another gold medal winning run in the first ever X Games SuperPark contest. His runs were hands-down the most flawless, and they were filled with great tricks and style. Dhers started his final run with a huge double tailwhip transfer and ended it with a 720 over the spine, which went straight into a flair on the quarter. These tricks combined with the fact that he never once looked uncomfortable or squirrelly were what ultimately gave him the victory.
Winning gold wasn't an easy task, though, and we saw a lot of great riding from riders like Diogo Canina, Ryan Guettler and Rob Darden. They gave Daniel a run for his money. In the end, the top three finishers were Dhers (gold), Diogo Canina (silver) and Rob Darden (bronze).
