The Teva Best Trick is an awesome event because the slopestyle riders have a chance to show everyone their best tricks without worry of messing up a full run. Check inside for some great highlight videos and watch Mike Montgomry’s insane backflip to bar hump to tail whip trick combination.
While everyone was anticipating jaw-dropping action, no one was prepared when California’s Mike Montgomery threw down the first backflip bar-hop to tailwhip ever landed on a bike. France’s Yannick Granieri came in second with a backflip double tailwhip, which also happens to be the same trick he threw to win the Teva Best Trick at Crankworx Les 2 Alpes in July. Newcomer Nicholi Rogatkin, who is coming in hot after winning the Pro Dirt category at the BMX Worlds 2013 in Germany, took third place with a lawn dart frontflip which he threw right out of the gate on his very first run.
1st – Mike Montgomery (USA), Backflip Bar Hump to Tailwhip
