Six riders, three runs...everyone pretty much stomped the runs they wanted and simply attempted to add to them in small, add-a-trick type ways, so I figured just putting everyone's best run in order was the best way to show how the contest went... Either way, Nitro World Games was a damn exciting event. The bowl was amazing, the riding was even more so, and the vibe was on point.
20 absolute animals compete for 12 spots into the semi finals. Two runs, best run counts...here are the highlights.
Eric Lichtenberger speaks candidly about filming for his Ride "Alley Cat" Pro Part to the tune of behind the scenes footage and unseen angles. Eric's style and approach to riding is obviously quite unique so it's interesting to hear him speak at length about his process, the challenges he faced, his thoughts on spots, clips that got away, the story behind his ender, and more...
Nitro World Games is holding their first ever park event at an epic indoor park facility called the California Training Facility nestled in a city north of San Diego called Vista.

Snaking was the name of the game for day three of practice at Vans Pro Cup 2018. And you can live it vicariously through this mic’d up session with Kevin Peraza, Corey Bohan, Trey Jones, Larry Edgar, and Jason Watts.

This contest can be summed up in a single line: "You're still an asshole, Dennis." Congrats to Vince on his gold repeat!
Always a heavy event, Big Air pushes what's possible on a BMX bike and the dudes that are down to give it a run did not disappoint. Here's the highlights...
16 of the best battling for seven spots in the finals. Definitely some upsets in this (Alex Nikulin, Kevin Peraza), but if the level of riding is any sign of how heavy finals is gonna be with Colton Walker, Kyle Baldock, and Logan Martin in the mix...damn.
