PRESS RELEASE

Bob Burnquist wins Skateboard Vert event and Chad Kagy Wins BMX Vert at AST Dew Tour event in Portland

PORTLAND, Ore., - Bob Burnquist won the skateboard vert event and Chad Kagy won the BMX vert event Saturday in the Wendy’s Invitational.
.
In skateboard park, the 31-year-old Brazilian captured the win in his final run with back-to-back combo tricks, including a switch kickflip indy to fakie, to finish at 91.25. Canada’s Pierre-Luc Gagnon was second at 89.75, followed by Baltimore’s Bucky Lasek at 86.50.

“It seems like when I have the pressure on I feel like I gotta stay on my board,” Burnquist said. “These tricks are so technical and really to take the top slot these days you gotta roll the dice a lot. I felt like, hey this is the time to do it, last run.”
