Monster Energy congratulates Dan Lacey on his Best Trick win at the second stop of the Toyota BMX Triple Challenge in Arlington, Texas. Taking place during select Monster Energy Supercross events, the Toyota BMX Triple Challenge has proven to be the premiere event for pushing the level of dirt riding. But new for this year, the Arlington stop switched all that up and took on a whole new street feel with ramps, trailers, jersey barriers, wallrides, and rails. The unique, street-style course was designed by Monster Energy’s Kevin Peraza featuring some of the best street and ramp riders in the world.
The qualifying event on Friday wasn’t open to the public, but 36 riders battled it out for 13 spots in the
The BMX Support Group visited Eindhoven on a Monday night. People going through a bad time could share their sad stories of being addicted to drugs or alcohol, losing their jobs, hitting rock bottom and simply needing a shoulder to cry on. Actually it wasn't anything like that. Kevin Peraza, Sergio Layos and Courage Adams had made it to town to ride with the locals and to promote Kevin's new BMX shoe. The round circle talking session was more of a live interview with KP himself and those present used the time to ask Peraza anything they wanted. The interest for his new shoe was definitely there and Kevin explained how they've been testing the new sole for a year and a half and how stoked he is to get a signature shoe. The vibe was positive and no sad stories were shared and

The second BMX jam of 2019 was a banger! In Hoorn, a small town near Amsterdam, Sam City recently Opened a new indoor skatepark ‘’The sportcave’’ which is great! In honour of the new 2019 Fly Bikes completes introduction they organized a release jam in collaboration with Rock N Roll Distribution. The skatepark looks pretty interesting for most of the street riders in BMX because of all the ledges and creative rail setups. That doesn’t mean riders like Sem Kok can’t shred this park, because he surely was! The park includes some fun wallrides, hips and a foam pit. Fly Bikes rider Sem and his teammate Courage Adams all the way from Spain are representing Fly Bikes and were both killing it! Courage is known for his insane type of riding, just like Sem.
The jam was supposed to start at 8PM but it was already busy around 3PM so the vibe was there for sure! After a few hours riding and getting comfortable with the newest skatepark in NL, it was time for a Best trick contest!
DJ King Koen started playing some tunes and everyone was killing it! The best trick went down on the middle part of the park, including the long flat rail + A Frame rail. 15/20 riders where shredding this setup! Joeri Veul got a flat tire in the middle of the contest! He fixed it and did some of the sickest tricks of the day. Joeri ended up second place with an over smith to icepick 180 on the A frame rail. Simon, a Belgian rider did a massive half cab tail whip on the driver and ended up third place!

Good old Hannu Cools (BEL) was found on spot 8 showing he's still got what it takes. Germany also grabbed the win in the Street class. Wethepeople's Giano Vacca is practically a local at The Promise and it showed. His 84,33 for first was followed by a 78 for Frank Nabuurs and a 77,33 for Max Esser who took the last podium spot.
