Freestyle
Predator

Pezo had only two hits but they were big by hitting the cars with massive sky wheelies, the second breaking the shocks and tailgate

Score- 10+9+9= 28

Prowler

Prowler had a few solid hits, but not as high as the lead cat

Score- 6+6+8= 20

Reptoid

Jim Jack came out with quite a lot of momentum racing over the cars and dirt hills to get a solid run out of the reptile

Score- 7+7+7= 21

Bulldozer

Despite a couple good hits over the cars, Knell's inexperience shows with a bit of a slower run than Predator and Reptoid

Score- 5+7+6= 18

WCW Nitro Machine

Joe Payne showed a good bit of skill with two huge sky wheelies for an impressive first freestyle

Score- 8+8+9= 25

Gunslinger

Hartsock came out with a solid run getting some good leaps over the cars but lacked the highlights of trucks like Predator and Nitro

Score- 8+7+8= 23

Goldberg

Tom came out with a burst of energy but a bad bounce would send him over on his lid

Score- 10+9+8= 27

Grave Digger

Anderson opened with a huge power wheelie, then a slap wheelie over the cars, crossing over them, another power wheelie and then one more before the truck was sent onto the lid

Score- 10+10+10= 30
