consistent style and mammoth heights placed him in third. Since Charveron is already a World Championships invitee, UK’s Lima Eltham, who placed fourth, will take the ticket to the championships.
In a special women’s round, Chilean rider Macarena Perez claimed first place, dominating the park with seasoned style, an impressive one hander on the hip, and a toboggan over the box. Perez also secures her spot in the Vans BMX Pro Cup Series World Championships women’s division.
The official start of the Vans BMX Pro Cup Málaga Global Qualifier takes place Sunday, May 7, where the Top 10 advancers from today’s competition will join the 18 advancers from Vans BMX Pro Cup Sydney in an exciting battle of BMX park terrain!
