This round of the Spot Challenge goes to Nour Ashraf — the rider who read the spot best and landed the clip that settled it.
The Spot Challenge is simple: we set the spot, you bring the trick. No heats, no judges' table — just whoever shows up and actually lands it.
This round went to Nour Ashraf. Out of everyone who threw their hat in, Nour read the spot the best and put down the clip that settled it. Clean, committed, no hesitation.
Congratulations, Nour — the spot was yours.
