His opponent, Dane Beardsley, will now try to take advantage.
Here's more on our BMXer.
Dane: A lot of people say I make it look easy,
but it takes years of hard work.
It's just me and a bicycle.
In BMX flatland, there's no ramps.
There's no obstacles.
The goal is to get as creative as possible with the bicycle.
You're rolling backwards. You're rolling forwards.
You're changing directions.
I mean, there are thousands of different tricks.
It involves creativity, athletics, and hard work.
I've been riding for 25 years.
Some people would call BMX flatland a dying art form.
I hope to inspire somebody to pick up a bicycle
and ride flatland,
and that's really what keeps me motivated to keep doing this.
I'm going big for this show
by showing some of my most difficult tricks,
and to pull them off in a seamless manner
is very difficult.
But when the judges see BMX flatland,
they're gonna be blown away.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Smoke.
Hey!
Ooh!
B-M-X!
[ Judges cheering ]
What's up, y'all?
What's up?
I'm here to show you the most difficult
and creative form of bicycle riding.
You're gonna see a whiplash, a hitchhiker, a mega spin,
and I might even try to ride the bicycle,
pedaling with my hands.
Okay. Okay.
I hope you guys enjoy it.
Here we go. Okay.

I like how elegant he started. It's beautiful.

Oh, my God, why does this look like ice skating?
There it is.
♪♪
Definitely ice skating now.
Nice!
One with the machine.
Right in front of the competition there.
Yeah, wow. He got right in our face.
Wow.

With his hands! Pedal with ya hands!
Pedal with the hands.
That's balance.
Well done.
I love the whole perpetual-kid vibe.
Now let's see how far I can jump a bicycle
without the use of a takeoff ramp.
Okay.
So if I could just get maybe four brave volunteers.
No, no, no, no. I'm on heartbeat medication.
Heartbeat medication. We doing this.
Looks like I got four brave volunteers right here.
Come on down, guys.
And we're gonna lay this down,
just so you guys are comfortable,
and what I'm gonna have you guys do
is lay down one by one, side-by-side.
I'm not certain I'd do this.
Jennifer: Okay. Okay.
T-Pain: Oh, God. Dane: Oh, beautiful.
This is gonna be terrible.
Jennifer: Okay. Head down.
Booyah! Let's see here.
T-Pain: Oh, wait. I can't make myself any flatter.
I'm trying to make myself just as narrow as possible.
He's just looking at us.
All right.
All: Three, two, one!
♪♪
Here he comes.
Oh, my God.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Ouch!
Let's go!
Ouch!
Oh, well done.
Whoo!
That was the riskiest move,
putting all the people that are about to vote for you
on the ground and jumping over them.
I'm never doing that [bleep] again.
Rosario, what did you think?
BMX was always something that was kind of grungier.
And you just brought a really beautiful elegance to it,
which is pretty remarkable.
Thank you. Cody?
Elegance is almost what worries me,
'cause it was really special,
but sometimes with this show, it's just about it being big.
True dat. Jennifer?
I love that we will take something like riding a bicycle,
and, like, "How can I make this harder?
And then how can I perfect it?" You know what I'm saying?
But I'm curious to know how you would go bigger,
because it's very impressive, but it's chill.
I'm gonna keep that elegance 'cause that's just how I ride.
That's who I am.
But I step up the trick game.
I love it.
Fantastic.
