With a final run that meshed near flawless aerials with equally impressive rail-riding, Clifford squeaked out the win with Soven and Adkison joining him on the podium.
“It feels great to get a win today,” said Clifford. “The whole contest saw some incredible riding, the venue was awesome and now I’m looking forward to the next PWT stop.”
