Finals
Obsession vs. Grave Digger

Freestyle
Reptoid

First out for freestyle, Jim had a couple big hits including over the bus but the run was once again relatively slow

Score- 6+4+5= 15

Summit Truck Style

A big sky wheelie to start the run, some bus hits as well but a bit stop and go and a busted knuckle would end his run

Score- 7+6+6= 19

Monster Mutt

Winston started off solid, but a botched wheelie would kick the truck underneath and send it on its lid

Score- 8+8+8= 24

Devastator

Schroeder came out with solid air and good momentum, but it would be his tailgate dragging slap wheelies which would shear the tailgate off and shoot him straight into the lead

Score- 10+9+9= 28

Obsession

Much like Reptoid and Summit, a solid run with some good sky wheelies but nothing to write home about

Score- 3+4+5= 12

Team Suzuki

First hit out, clears the bus but lands hard and brakes the rear axle

Score- 2+2+2= 06

Hot Wheels

Foster came out hard charging, filling the run with the biggest air of the night so far before rolling the truck at the end of the clock

Score- 8+8+9= 25

Gunslinger

Hartsock would only make one hit before mechanical problems shut the truck down

Score- 2+1+1= 04

Maximum Destruction

Tom Meents looking to make it two for two came out with massive air over every obstacle and the best momentum of the night before rolling the truck on its lid to close out the run

Score- 10+10+10= 30

Grave Digger

Anderson came out much like Meents hard charging with big air and high speed momentum, but a bad hit on the bus sent him on his roof with 40 seconds left

Score- 10+10+9= 29
