Found myself in the UK last week for a one-off (maybe?) of the BMX Triple Challenge event. Literally landed in London, drove to the event, and then the crew decided the wind was too heavy and we drove to Corby, England, to Adrenaline Alley for a session that was, as you'd expect, not your average session. The wind persisted the following day and most people were pretty stressed about jumping a 30 foot double for the first time with a 20mph headwind, but surprisingly, a decent amount of riding went down.
The three event series known as the BMX Triple Challenge concluded in Denver, Colorado. Big jumps, big tricks, and big slams... the final showdown in Denver was a hell of a warmup for the SX event later in the day.

The second win of the day went to Monster Energy BMX team rider Pat Casey from Riverside, California. In the heated competition, the 28-year-old BMX icon stomped the day’s best aerial move to claim the trophy.
Oh, it was cold. Very. Cold. Oh, and rain. A steady 35-degrees is not usually conducive for a BMX event, but the show must go on... The Monster Energy BMX Triple Challenge event in Arlington, Texas, happened, but not quite at the normal level. No qualifying, no semi-finals, no three runs...straight to Final and just two runs to lay something—anything—down.
