Freestyle
Reptoid

Jim Jack would open up freestyle with some solid hits over the cars and smaller dirt hills, but seemed lacking compared to some of his previous runs

Score- 4+5+5= 14

Destroyer

Evans would set himself apart by attacking the bus first off to get the crowd going, then attacking the vans. After a couple more hits he would hit the giant dirt hill where the truck would slide off and he would save the truck to end a spectacular run

Score- 8+9+8= 25

Avenger

Koehler would follow Evans's suit with massive sky wheelies, hits over the bus and the vans and even a power wheelie attempt to get a fantastic run. The judges for whatever reason however, didn't think so much to the dismay and disgust of Scott and Mike

Score- 4+4+3= 11

Madusa

Madusa came out strong with some good hits on the cars and even attacked the bus. After some great donuts, she would hit one of the dirt hills at an odd angle which would jar her and end her run

Score- 6+7+6= 19

Scarlet Bandit

Dave would surprise the crowd as he came out strong with some huge sky wheelies and big hits over the vans and bus with an impressive freestyle

Score- 8+7+7= 22

Sudden Impact

Despite some good hits on the two main car stacks, the run lacked the momentum of Destroyer or Scarlet Bandit and ended a bit prematurely

Score- 5+4+5= 14

Sting

Sky Hartley looked to finish strong had some good sky wheelies and then leaped over the center dirt hill, then some donuts to close out his best run yet

Score- 8+9+9= 26

Bulldozer

The bull looked to go big and big he did, huge leaps over the cars, vans, and bus would fill out a momentum action packed run from Rob Knell

Score- 6+6+6= 18

Grave Digger

Huffaker came as a man on a mission, with some huge leaps over the bus and even a good save before attacking the center jump, pulling a slap wheelie which would break the shocks out of the truck

Score- 9+9+10= 28

Goldberg

Whereas most drivers avoided the dirt hills. Meents made it his mission to hit everyone and how he did. Hitting them from mulitple angles every way getting huge air over all of them and leaping over the vans and bus to end a great freestyle

Score- 10+10+10= 30
