"It's a good thing I won this, because if I walked out of here with nothing there might have been some tears tonight," James joked from the finish area after awards were wrapped up.

"It's hard, obviously, not to win tonight," James went on, more seriously, "It was a long streak. You've got to show up for every run, every contest. Ruka brought an absolutely amazing run tonight, but maybe I should have brought a little more myself a little sooner. Obviously I'm disappointed, mainly in myself. Everyone else did an amazing job, rode really well, but I slid out on the last hit of my last run and it is what it is."
