Action started in the morning with the warm ups and the time trial qualifying rounds. The riders made their toughest efforts in every jump and curve. Some falls, quitting bikers and broken bicycles made the morning even more exciting 
But the big competition came in the evening, when the riders had to face each other. The crowd has seen fast races, with fights in each jump, turn and curve. The bikers have shown their guts, and round after round, one of the favourites had to leave the competition with a terrible defeat. At the end, Australian Khalen Young has claimed victory in a very tough final, with some top rider such as Mike Day (U.S. – Third at the X-Games), Robert De Wilde (The Netherlands - 2 Times World Champion) and Donny Robinson (U.S. - Former World cup Champion). 
Although local stars Pablo Galán and Rafa Álvarez did not qualify to the quarterfinals, both of them showed their happiness, not only for riding at home, but for making it to the 1/8 round in one of their first experiences in BMX Supercross. 
Apart from the competition, the crowd enjoyed a spectacular Dirt Jump contest, Trial exhibitions, DJ sessions and some of the best extreme sport videos. Results:
1 Khalen Young, Australia
2 Robert de Wilde, Holanda
3 Cristian Becerine, Argentina
4 Donny Robinson, USA
