Gavin Bottger, Zion Wright, and Oski take the top spots with these runs during men’s park semifinals at Dew Tour Des Moines 2021.

Fourteen-year-old American skater Gavin Bottger surprised on Saturday, winning the Dew Tour Des Moines Men’s Park Semifinal to take the first of 8 spots in Sunday’s Final. His Run 2 score from Heat 2 held up against the stacked field of pre-seeded skaters in Heat 3. 

Bottger says he was inspired by watching Zion Wright put down the next two highest scores of the competition, also in Heat 2. 

“Zion’s run was insane and it put a land-it-or-slam mentality in my head before Run 2, Bottger says. “It’s pretty crazy. All these guys are killing it.”
