Recap: After three different Overall Event Champions to start the weekend, Tristan England emerged from the fray with bragging rights as the only athlete to leave Spokane with two trophies. Heading into Freestyle, Soldier Fortune Black Ops was in the lead and it looked like Tony Ochs would grab his second trophy of the weekend instead, but some bad luck with breakage early in his Freestyle run essentially took him out of contention. That left the door wide open for EarthShaker, who burst through, taking the Freestyle win and another Overall Event victory. Although Tristan England had a good weekend, he remains in second place for the series points lead, 54 behind Grave Digger.

Recap: Three events, three different Overall Event Champions so far in Spokane, Washington. This time it was Grave Digger’s turn, however it did not come easy for Brandon Vinson. In fact it came all the way down to the final truck in Freestyle before we could crown a winner. Heading into that competition, both Grave Digger and Zombie had two wins apiece — Monster Jam Racing and Speedster Obstacles for Bari Musawwir and ATV Racing and Donuts for Brandon Vinson. But Brandon was able to nail a backflip amidst a great Freestyle run to win that competition and pull out the Overall Event victory by just one point. We’ll see if there will be a fourth different winner tomorrow afternoon.

Freestyle Winner: Soldier Fortune Black Ops

Recap: Saturday afternoon in Spokane was arguably one of the most tightly contested events of the Triple Threat Series West Tour. Ultimately, Soldier Fortune Black Ops was able to emerge from the fray with the Overall Event Championship on the strength of his consistency, his ATV Racing and Freestyle wins and a little bit of luck. Grave Digger and Zombie were both in contention late, however some last minute electrical issues during Donuts left the former unable to compete, while the latter had an unfortunately timed roll over during Freestyle. However on a tour this competitive, you don’t apologize for wins and you’ll take them in whichever way you can, especially with an automatic bid to Monster Jam World Finals on the line.

Recap: After Grave Digger swept all three events in OKC last weekend, Tristan England of EarthShaker had to respond in a big way if he wanted to keep pace with Brandon Vinson in the battle for the Triple Threat West Series Championship — and Friday night in Spokane he did just that. After an early exit in the first race of the night, Tristan won ATV Racing, 2 Wheel Skills and Donuts to give himself the Event lead by two points. However, Grave Digger made it to the Semi-Finals of the Speedster Obstacle Course and EarthShaker did not, meaning they were tied heading into Freestyle. Tristan left if all out on the floor in that competition, landing a backflip and earning the Freestyle and Overall Event Championship. He still has some ground to make up however, as he’s now 58 points behind Grave Digger for the top spot.
