Daniel Dhers has been a dominant force on the AST Dew Tour this year; with two BMX Park Dew Cup titles already under his belt, he came into the PlayStation® Pro with four straight wins for the 2008 Tour season. He held a 70-point lead over his closest challenger, Mike Spinner, so he had already wrapped up his third consecutive Dew Cup title before the contest in Orlando even started. With the title secure, he turned to another objective: achieving the perfect five-win season, something no other athlete on the AST Dew Tour has ever accomplished.

That turned out to be, quite unexpectedly, the biggest challenge he'd face all year. Riders like Drew Bezanson and Austin Coleman were riding better than they had been at the previous stops, and Dave Mirra and Ryan Nyquist were tearing it up in practice. Mirra ended up in fifth after spinning his wild no-handed 360 flip, a huge no-handed 540, and a flair whip over the quarter-to-quarter gap. Bezanson nailed a difficult 360 tailtap to tailwhip over the hitching post to finish seventh, but was bested by Garrett Reynolds, who dropped barspin-to-barspin 540s and huge no-handed 360s.

Rob Darden's been on fire this year, and he finished just off the podium in fourth here in Orlando. He was all over the course and rode with a clean, smooth style, cutting loose with big 720s over the box and a massive, stylish one-handed table over the big box hip. Austin Coleman always brings unique tricks and killer style to the table, and everything came together for him here with a spot on the podium in third. His second run was filled with high-energy, back-to-back moves, including a no-handed frontflip and barspin and no-handed 720s over the spine.

Nyquist had put down a very solid first run, putting him comfortably in first place throughout the rest of the roster until it was time for Dhers to drop in. Nyquist looked confident with double truckdrivers over the hitching post, a barspin 540 on the big quarter, and a 720 over the box. Dhers answered with regular and invert 720s over the box, double whips over the quarter gap, and no-footed can-cans to late whips, both on a quarter and in the midst of a 360 over the spine. Daniel moved into first, and it looked like his win streak would remain uncontested.

Sometimes everything falls into place with your run, and with each successful trick you take a little more risk, hang on, and enjoy the ride. That's exactly what happened to Nyquist in run two; he continually knocked down some of the hardest tricks in the business with no end in sight. His first banger was a super dangerous 720 over the hitching post, which he pulled perfectly. That set the tone, and he followed with a barspin 720 over the box and a double barspin 540 on the quarter. There was no doubt that he would move into the lead, so the ball was back in Daniel's court.

Dhers dropped in for run two with a determined look on his face, spinning a 720 over the box and firing into the quarter just after the landing. Unfortunately, he landed low on the quarter and slipped a pedal on his way back to the box, so he had to nix his plans for a can-can 720. He recovered well and went on to do a crazy frontflip over the spine and his first flair whip in competition, but he just couldn't match the intensity of Nyquist's run.

Nyquist earned his first Park win of the '08 Tour, and Dhers had to "settle" for second – he's the only guy who can view second place as a downgrade, but don't worry, his third Dew Cup is still headed for his trophy case. Some of the best Park riding of the '08 Tour went down at the PlayStation® Pro, making it a fitting end to an incredible season.
