Daniel Dhers Dominates Dallas

Nov 02 2006 / Dallas, TX

Daniel Dhers is simply on fire. In fact, he’s gone nuclear. Fresh from winning the Dew Tour overall title in Park two weeks ago, Dhers came to Dallas looking to prove that he is the best Street rider in 2006. And that’s exactly what he did.

Dhers took no time at all to warm up and blasted the course with a no-footed can can to 360 double tailwhip over the side box followed by a big double tail whip on the quarter pipe, a 360 double whip, and crazy front flip over the spine. And from there his fast-paced, super intense run didn’t slow down for a heart beat. He takes home $30,000 for his 1^st place win, and adds that to the $90,000 he recently won in Orlando at the Dew Tour. $120,000 in one month? Not bad Daniel. Not bad. Read the full interview with Dhers here.

Garrett Reynolds, the 16 year-old phenom from New Jersey, had a killer run scoring 86.75 that placed him 2nd and puts an awesome exclamation point on a solid 2006 season. And Rob Darden put down a run loaded with good lines and several variations of tail whips and flair tricks. Darden was tied with Reynolds for 2nd, but due to judging rules was bumped down to 3rd.

Steven McCann finished 4th with a big run that included a crazy no-handed 720 to turndown over the side box. His first run scored him an 86, which meant he had to come out big on his second run to break into the top three spots, but he wasn’t able to keep it together. On the upside, his new teeth look great after knocking out a few in Orlando at the Dew Tour.

Allan Cooke rounded out the top five finishers followed by Josh Harrington, Marc Webb, Ryan Nyquist, Ryan Guettler and Dave Dillewaard. Ryan Guettler put it all on the line leading his first run with a front flip over the side box, but fell in the middle of his run knocking his score down to put him in 9th place. Ryan Guettler, 2005 winner of the Dew Tour in BMX Dirt and Park, has had a big year of ups and downs, but did end up with a big win in Dirt at the Dew Tour in San Jose.

And finally, Ryan Nyquist was one of the few riders to threaten Dhers and the other podium finishers, but in the end wasn’t able to muster up a big enough run to beat them. He still had an impressive run that included a back flip double barspin on the side box and big truckdriver on the spine. Ryan also pulled off a monstrous 360 tail tap on top of the 12-foot tall Tower of Doom in the middle of the course after several failed attempts. It was after the buzzer on his second run, but it still gets our vote for one of the best tricks of the weekend.
