Dave Mirra Animal House contest


ANIMAL HOUSE FINALSThe First ever King of the Animal House Invitational is over and this year’s crown goes to Dennis Enarson. The battle for the car between Enarson and Nyquist was actually so close, nobody could call it. These guys separated themselves from the rest of the field with mind boggling bangers never before seen in the Animal House. Our only wish is that Wade had not gone down on his first trick (jersey barrier flair) and been knocked out due to an ankle injury that prevented him from walking. It would have been awesome to see what Morgan would have brought to counter the ongoing battle between Nyquist and Enarson. 2 of the biggest tricks we’ve ever seen would have to be Nyquist’s double bar out of the top of the pocket wall (he also 540’d out of the top as well) and Enarsons contest ending double whip transfer to the huge quarter wall. The video you see online does not do any of this shit justice. It’s so much bigger than any of it looks on film. The Dew Tours of the sport could learn a lot from this type of event. The reason the riding was so huge was the format and the overall atmosphere. The jam format is an absolute must to keep the energy flowing and the tricks bang’n. Having to wait 2 minutes between riders (like in Dew Tour) is an absolute buzzkill and clearly handicaps the riding as shown by what went down here.
Mike Miller (ProperBikeCo.) and Harry Main (Mirraco) were in the final to represent IMGdistribution brands, so we want to thanks them for their amazing work. Harry Main Line the "Main Line" will be in the shop right before Christmas so go to your local shop to pre-order yours !
