The final of the 2022 series was at Spit & Sawdust in Cardiff and was an absolute scorcher. The ramp in the worlds greatest beer garden was the ideal setting for the final. Riders battled through the heatwave and brought their best riding to the vert.

Pro class went off, with Pete Marselle pulling an 'alley oop' 540 for 4th. Tom Leaver landed his huge flairs after crashing them in previous rounds to pace 3rd. Paul Meacher maxed out the height pole with airs 10ft+, a huge whip and no hander to no footers.

But the master was toppled in this final round. Josh Bates came home with 1st place. Josh threw down a fully packed 60 second run with alley oop turndowns, stretched no handers, tailwhips, flairs, opposite lookbacks and 1ft X ups and finished with a huge double tailwhip. Bagging 1st place and best trick at the same time.

Year end results saw Paul Meacher taking the title of 2022 UK Pro Vert Champion with Joey Doland crowned the 2022 Amateur Vert Champion. Massive congratulations to these guys.
