Bicycle Stunt Finals Getting Rained Out

The Finals of the Bicycle Stunt series for 2000 are
going out on a bad note. Wind is plaguing the event in Nashville, Tennessee, and
today’s flatland finals even got cut short thanks to the rain.
When the flatland contest began, the plan was for each rider to get two runs,
but as the rain clouds blew in, it didn’t look like it was going to happen.
After eight riders took their first runs, the rain started dropping and everyone
took off looking for a dry spot. About an hour later the sun came back out and
dried everything up, so the final two riders got in their runs. Everyone would
have liked to take their second runs, but it wasn’t going to happen. In the
end, Dan Rigby had the run of his life for first, Martti Kuoppa got second, and
new-Pro Matt Wilhelm spun into third. After all of the points for the year-end
title were counted up, Trevor Meyer walked away with a goofy looking belt and
another title.
