“With only 9 competitors and the smallest field of the series, Dallas still provided tough competition. Riders from Vegas, Houston, Corpus Christi and a couple locals battled it out to see who was going to own Round 4 of FFC. Tons of excitement, new faces, and great sportsmanship came with Round 4. I would say we had the most perfect surface and area we have ever had at an FFC comp. 300×75 feet of perfect parking lot to do our thing. Lights for the finals and sickest trick made the comp area seem like a football stadium and the RPM event provided a 100 to 400 person crowd of unfamiliar to sport bike freestyle fans to cheer us on at all times.
We started out with our qualifying comps and a familiar face ended up on top of our first Qual comp. Kris H. took first after a four way sudden death battle for the podium in the Impaktech Target Stoppie Challenge. Endo Joe took second impressing the crowd with his 180 near bullseye stoppies. And Joel F. snatched the final podium after Jordo missed the 90 circle in the first sudden death stoppie.
Impaktech Target Stoppie Challenge
1st- Kris Higdon 270points
2nd- Joe Christie 270points
3rd- Joel Figueroa 270points
Next was the Chatter Box Most Circles Challenge. Kris H. came out swinging with 22 circles, but Petro quickly had him matched with over 13 secs left. As dizziness set in, he set his bike down and had to settle for a tie at 22. Jordo came with a fast yet consistant style and took home the first place spot with 24; leaving Kris and Petro to battle for the 2nd and 3rd place spot. Petro, a first time FFC competitor, vowed not to let fatigue set in during this sudden death and beat his previous 22 and turned in 27 circles in 60 seconds; something Kris could not match.
Chatter Box Most Circles Challenge
1st- Jordan Powers 24 circles in 60 sec
2nd- David Serbantez 22 circles in 60 secs
3rd- Kris Higdon 22 circles in 60 secs
Dope Status came on board as a title sponsor for our Longest Stoppie challenge for the Dallas stop and two of their sponsored riders podiumed in the event. Fixed? LOL Naw not here… The competitors had a 125 foot approach with a 225 foot max. Endo joe just seemed like he was not going to live up to his name when he decided on his final try to high chair stoppie and killed it with his best run with a 207.8 foot high chair stoppie!!! WOW
Dope Status Longest Stoppie Challenge
1st- Joe Christie 207.8 feet
2nd- Jordan Powers 187.8 feet
3rd- Kris Higdon 185.5 feet
Always our toughest challenge, the West Coast Connection Barrel Stall Challenge was last and with only one hour of practice, a lot of new competitors first time doing this challenge. I was truly impressed and this is when I knew we had a talented field.
West Coast Connection Stall Challenge
1st-David Serbantez 25secs
2nd- Joel Figueroa 29secs
3rd- Joe Christie 30 secs
After all the Qual Challenges our top three qualifiers were.
1st- Jordan Powers
2nd- Kris Higdon
3rd- Joe Christie
Under the lights the freestyle finals had a Monday night football type of excitement. After everyone’s run, we had a clear cut champion but three other riders were tied for second. And according to the FFC rules, ties in the freestyle finals are decided by your qualifying position. This is why you should try your best in each qual challenge cause every point counts!!! Three competitors failed to make it back from their lunch break in time for their scheduled freestyle run so they were DQ from competing in the finals.
FFC 3min Freestyle Finals
1st- Joel Figueroa score 34 of 50 points
2nd Jordan Powers score 30 of 50 points
3rd Kris Higdon score 30 of 50 points
4th Joe Christie score 30 of 50 points
5th David Sirbantez score 29 of 50 points
6th Wesley Knapp score 20 of 50 points
At the end of the night we just wanted to please the crowd and what better than the Righteous Stunt Metal Sickest Trick where riders put their bodies and bikes on the line to hear some cheers from the crowd and no one was let down.
Righteous Stunt Metal Sickest Trick
1st Trevor Sanders (Tank Christ Backflip to tail grab with out bike falling)
