The 2025 BMX Triple Challenge is officially a wrap! Monster Energy congratulates team rider Brady Baker on winning the BMX Dirt competition at the 2025 Monster Energy BMX Triple Challenge in Arlington, Texas. In the final stop of the 2025 season, the 22-year-old from Toms River, New Jersey, claimed the victory and third place in the overall rankings. Monster Energy swept the entire podium for the third time this season, with 30-year-old Daniel Sandoval from Corona, California, in second place and 30-year-old Ryan Williams from Sunshine Coast, Australia, in third place. Williams also won the Best Trick event with a massive technical trick.

In the overall standings for the BMX Triple Challenge, Monster Energy also claimed the top three spots:

First went to Williams with 161 points and a massive lead. In second place, Sandoval earned 124 points, and Baker claimed third place with 115 points. In a dominant season, Monster Energy riders swept the podium at all three tour stops of this year’s competition.

Presented by Monster Energy as the official title sponsor, the BMX Triple Challenge is the most progressive contest series in BMX dirt for the past nine years. The open-invite event features the sport’s most established athletes in competition against up-and-comers looking to make a name for themselves. Traditionally, the three-part BMX dirt competition takes place during select Monster Energy Supercross events.

From February 22-23, the final stop of this season was contested outside AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The massive three-jump dirt course attracted huge crowds as riders battled for the championship title.

In the final, Brady Baker dropped in as the winner of last year’s tour stop in Arlington. Could he repeat history and rise all the way to the top again? Absolutely! Baker stoked the crowd by landing a backflip triple whip, tailwhip cashroll, and 720 front flip for the repeat win at Arlington.

“It feels great to finally get a trophy at this event. I’m bummed that I rode crappy in the first two stops, but getting the win here feels sick,” said Monster Energy’s Baker.

Also rising to the podium, Daniel Sandoval claimed second place in Arlington with a solid run. A technical barrel roll double tailwhip, double down whip, and 360 double whip to whip back earned Sandoval a spot on the podium.

Completing the team’s podium sweep, Ryan Williams claimed third place by landing a perfect front flip inward flip, no-handed front flip, and double backflip. When the action moved into Best Trick, Williams took the top spot by unleashing a front flip kick-less tailwhip to double tailwhip back.

“I’m glad that I got to throw down in Best Trick. These guys were doing double flips, and the points were close. So stoked to get it done!” said Monster Energy’s Williams about winning Best Trick.

In overall season rankings, the three Monster Energy riders took top honors in the 2025 BMX Triple Challenge series: First place went to Williams with 161 points, Sandoval earned 124 points for second place, and Baker claimed third place with 115 points. Monster Energy riders swept the podium at all three tour stops of this year’s competition.

“I’m just stoked to be on my BMX bike, stoked to be safe. And I am happy that everyone walked away today safely. Let’s go and keep these Triple Challenges going. They’re a great thing for BMX–I love it,” said Williams upon winning the 2025 BMX Triple Challenge season.
