“I’ve always wanted to win these big contests I grew up watching and it’s been an incredible year, starting with the World Champs a year ago, then X Games, and now Dew Tour,” Brookes said after the podium presentation.

“It feels so good to be setting these really big goals for myself and knocking them down one after another.

“This one is extra special to me because I grew up riding rails—I just love riding rails!—and I’ve always loved this Streetstyle format, where it’s a real battle to get through to the finish.”
