It was the first full run of the night \u2013 and what a run it was! Koehler performed the first backflip of the night and ended the run with a massive jump that ended with a save, earning him an 8.739.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>That score was beat on the very next run with Dalton Widner in Shell Shock\u2019ed, who put on a run with two backflips \u2013 including one into a moonwalk \u2013 just edging Koehler at an 8.769.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The destruction continued as the night went on, with Grave Digger\u2019s Tyler Menninga failing to qualify for a score as a wheel broke off after his first jump. Weston Anderson\u2019s run in Grave Digger Red Primer lasted slightly longer as the last run of the night. About 30 seconds in, his truck ended up rolling down off of a jump. An epic save attempt followed, but Anderson was unable to end back up on four BKT tires.<\/p>\n                          \n          <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n
