Rising up the ranks, Brisbane local Alex Hiam’s consistent technical runs offered an impressive alley-oop 270 pocket air out of the spine, placing him in 2nd and earning him the Vans Best Line Award. Bouncing back from a heavy crash during practice, 2017’s Vans BMX Pro Cup World Champion Larry Edgar persevered, busting out a supercharged 360-to-fakie in the deep bowl and colossal 16-foot airs to take the event’s High Air Award, Best Trick Award and a strong 3rd place podium finish.

Pushing the boundaries of women’s BMX, Nikita Ducarroz’s solid bike control and stylish 540’s on the big quarterpipe won her the women’s Best Trick Award and her first Pro Cup victory, proving her ranks to continue on the series’ 2018 Pro Tour. With persistent amplitude throughout the entire course, Chilean rider Macarena Perez conquered 2nd, while Spain’s up-and-coming Teresa Azcoaga’s smooth, powerful riding placed her in 3rd.

“The Vans BMX Pro Cup is the best event of the year for us,” explained women’s BMX pioneer and winner of the Vans Best Line Award, Nina Buitrago. “I’m so stoked on the lineup, these ladies are killing it!”

The 2018 Vans BMX Pro Cup Series heads to Guadalajara, Mexico on August 24 – 26 for the next stop on the world tour.
