The BMX schedule is busy this summer. Vert rider Simon Tabron flew to the USA a weekend prior to the Worlds and won his first MSS contest. Here's a press release and the results of the vert comp.
British BMX rider Simon Tabron, one of the most accomplished riders in BMX history, showed up for his first MSS competition and promptly proceeded to pull a trick that’s never been landed in MSS history and earn top honors on the day in the process. The veteran rider astonished fans by landing a 900, an accomplishment only a few riders in the entire world can claim. Chicago rider Jimmy Walker earned the silver medal, while Jay Eggleston took the bronze medal, despite a nasty-looking crash left the Denver rider seeing stars for a few minutes.
