An intimate and enthusiastic crowd came in to see Freestyle Motocross Presented by Your Local Louisiana Toyota Dealers on friday night. The FMX Final saw tight scores between the five finalists. The top three werer even closer between Shawn Connors, JJ Romans and Brody Wilson. Shawn popped into the hotseat with a 91.3 which knocked out Derek Cook who is getting into a groove and making the finals. JJ Romans upped the ante by a tenth and scored a 91.4 with some backflips and crowd support. Last out was Brody Wilson. The Quiet One let his riding do the talking and man was it screaming at the fans and the judges. Flips alone were not going to garner the win so he tossed in a sideshow, and used killer extension on the rest of his tricks to score a 91.6! The top three were just three tenths apart! The Dosomethingamazing.com Head 2 Head competition saw the crowd do the judging and they whittled down a field of six to only three. Derek "Double Down" Cook, Brody Wilson and the Redneck Shawn Connors went into a three rider best trick train. Wilson topped the others with a flip which the crowd narrowly used as the reason for his win. I got to join up with freewheeling Keith Wineland and his Extreme Riding Entertainment Moto Trials machine for a jaw dropping display of rider skill and bike control. The Hell On Wheels BMX Stunt Team, known world wide for their antics on and off the bikes, did back flips, tail whips and front flips much to the crowds delight! We have one more show for you Baton Rouge- and we expect to see a crowd even louder than tonights rowdy bunch! -Cory Stem
