The BMXinvasion bike battle 6 competiton was overwhelmed with riders. It started out at 9am and ending at 8pm. A grand total of 117 riders from the east coast showed up to show their stuff in one of the toughest underground bmx competitions.

A young 16 year old ripper Garrett Reynolds took the first place trophy and prizes in pro with a flawless run. A rider who calls himself "little Jeff" out of NJ took first in the expert class and got swarmed with congratulations from his friends and fellow riders. Jeff was stoked on his first ever win in bmx competition.

I was also pleased to have the Monster energy crew on board this year and they were handing out tasters through out the day to the riders and anyone else who wanted a top of the line refreshment. Special thanks from me to the east coast Monster energy representative Stephen Catalano for hooking us up with the product.

Jersey girls were in the house of metal cheering on the riders on during the runs. Spectators went wild when we picked a young kid out of the crowd and presented him with a new SE wildman mini bike. This kid was down with the entire event so we hooked him up big time.

But most of all it was a fun time and I appreciate the great show of support from the riders and spectators and all of the companies as well as you FATBMX for helping me get the bike battle into full effect.
