Out of a field of 34 BMX riders, Jeff Blevins won the BMX park competition and Nick Summerlot won the BMX vert contest Sunday at the Gatorade Free Flow Tour’s stop in Florence, Ky.
 
Seventeen-year-old Blevins from Hamilton, Ohio earned the BMX park victory at Ollies Skatepark after executing a flip whip over the hip and a front flip transfer during his winning run. Kevin Teets was second and Keenan Gutler finished in third place.
 
“This is awesome,” Blevins said. “I did the Gatorade Free Flow Tour before and didn’t even place, and now I get the chance to compete against the best at the Finals in Salt Lake City.”
 
In the BMX vert contest, 19-year-old Summerlot from Greencastle, Ind. used an almost-flawless run that included turndowns, no-handers and x-ups to secure the win.
 
“Yay for Finals!” Summerlot said. “I gave it everything I had today, and I’m tired but happy.”
 
With the win, both Blevins and Summerlot earn an automatic bid into the Gatorade Free Flow Tour Finals that will take place at the Dew Tour’s Toyota Challenge, September 17-20, 2009.
 
In Saturday’s action at Ollies, Tyson Bowerbank and Jordan Price took the skate park and vert titles, respectively.
