Well pretty much anywhere you find me most likely it will be on two wheels. This time is a little different though since no motors are involved haha. Traded in horsepower for pedal power this afternoon. A BMX session with Kurtis Downs and Andy Buckworth was a perfect change of pace.

What are the Covid-19 restrictions where you live at the moment?
Andy Buckworth: Right now we are allowed to leave the house to exercise, visit the dr, or visit the grocery store. Restaurants are open, for take away only.

How does it feel having a ramp available whenever you feel like riding?
Andy Buckworth: Honestly it’s a blessing. I hate being off my bike and even though there aren’t any events coming up, I still ride my bike every day.

Has the yard seen much change since you bought the house?
Andy Buckworth: Not yet. However I plan to make some pretty substantial changes. Hopefully in the near future.     

What kind of wood did you use for the ramp?

Monster Energy congratulates Pat Casey and Andy Buckworth on their second and third place finish at the final stop of the Toyota BMX Triple Challenge in Denver, Colorado. It’s been 13 years since a Supercross hit Denver, Colorado, and with its return came the highest level of dirt riding at the Toyota Triple Challenge. The final stop of the year pushed progression even further with the biggest jumps ever seen at the series, and arguably the largest of any event. As always many of the best riders in the world, along with hungry up-and-comers converged on Colorado to see what they could get done.

The qualifying event on Friday wasn’t open to the public, but the level of riding remains unchanged. Although the Denver setup did bring one huge difference: the jumps themselves. A 20-foot-tall roll-in
