(LOS ANGELES) Youth was served Saturday when New Jersey's Scotty Cranmer, the youngest BMX rider at X Games 12, grabbed the gold medal in BMX Freestyle Park. In doing so, the 19-year-old Cranmer (aka: The Bulldozer) improved upon his silver medal performance at last year's Summer X event and threw down the gauntlet for next year. Morgan Wade won the silver medal while Daniel Dhers rode off with the bronze.

"This event is so awesome," said Cranmer following his victory. "The riding levels are out of this world. This course couldn't have been better. It was a good day."

Cranmer's winning run was a fluid masterpiece and included a tailwhip drop in, a double whip over the big hip, a 360 double whip over the step-up ramp and a front flip turn down over the step up.

Wade took silver with two pocket airs, a hip to the wall to a massive hip landing. Like Cranmer, the Tyler, TX native was complimentary of the world-class park course.

"The two pocket airs were the strength of my run," said Wade. "This course was so fun. These are mumbo-jumbo ramps."

The 21-year-old Dhers captured the bronze in his first X Games appearance by putting together a run that included a 360 bar spin tail whip, a tabletop flair and a double whip air. Afterward, the Venezuelan was thrilled to take his place on the podium.

"I've always dreamed of coming here," said Dhers. "I've been watching the X Games since 1998. It's harder with just 10 people in this event, so to medal is pretty exciting. My dreams are finally coming true."
