Moto X Best Trick competition in the Staples Center. Kyle Loza was another to receive lots of love from the crowd as the two-time reigning champ arrived looking for a three-peat. The whole show looked like something out of a Playstation 3 game with riders throwing new tricks that never seem possible. Slow rotations and incredible combinations were incredible to watch, but unsuccessful on all counts. The way that riders took massive diggers and managed to walk away was also more similar to a video game. Big crashes ultimately shaped the outcome of the Best Trick competition. Willy Watts, an unknown rider from Oklahoma, showed up with some mystery trick but wound up backing out on both runs which drew some disapproval from commentator and freestyle originator, Brian Deegan. With that waste of time over with, the rest of the show could continue. Silly Willy, we won't be seeing him at X again.Blake Williams laid down a 360 downside Indian air can-can, a brand new combination, on his first run which set him firmly in the lead.
The only 4-stroke rider of the night left the rest of the competition to crash their way out of contention. Wearing classic leather work gloves, Scott Murray attempted a double backflip and twisted off-axis on his first run and under-rotated the second attempt to come up empty handed and dejected yet again. American rider Paris Rosen attempted a front flip only to land on his rear wheel and loop backwards, landing hard on his tailbone. He would not return for a second run, but the crowd wasn’t too concerned about it as Pastrana rolled to the starting ramp for his first attempt.
