The BMXinvasion at skate 57 was an awesome time for sure with 125 shredders in the house. I want to thank all the sponsors especially Stephen Catalano who sent down the Monster crew to hand out tasters to everyone at the event. Everyone definitely enjoyed the Monster Energy boost. The first place winner is Craig Mast out of Ohio who was banging out crazy tricks like a front flip over the spine. Craig did an excellent job at riding and props to him on the win. It was also good to see some good friends who I haven't seen in while like the Mullaly crew Casio Perez , Rob Ramos and Jimmy Mac from Bulldog bikes NYC in the house. I would like to thanks all the fans and parents for coming down to support the riders. Everyone was riding really well and some even progressed during the event like Sonny pulling off his first flair on the battleship,way to go step it up. Albert Carlson was my choice for the best trick during the event he pulled off a wicked transfer 180 to flat landing in pure street style riding so BMXinvasion awarded him the Dans Competition gift certificates for his effort.

I want to thank Aaron Graff who did another great job MC'n the event always a fun time with the A-Man. The Brazen video crew helped out by filming some clips and handing out bmx products to the spectators. All the judges did a good job by keeping it honest I hope everyone was satisfied with the results the jam format worked out good giving the riders a couple of chances at the end of the run to bust out a big trick. Dirk Lesko photography will be sharing some photos for this update along with Brett From Brokenspokes.com.

I want to thank the guys from Marty's for helping out the riders during the event with repairs made to their bikes. Special thanks to the Bossman Brandon owner of Skate 57 fun park for having us present this BMXinvasion contest. There are talks already about bmxinvasion bike battle 8 west coast style, the location is da compound park in Cali.
