Daniel Sandoval Takes First Place in BMX Dirt at 2022 Monster Energy BMX Triple Challenge in Arlington
Stop two of the biggest BMX dirt show of the year is officially in the books – and our riders claimed both wins! Monster Energy congratulates team rider Daniel Sandoval on winning BMX Dirt at the 2022 Monster Energy BMX Triple Challenge in Arlington, Texas, on Saturday. The 27-year-old U.S. National Champion from Corona, California, soared above the competition in a high-stakes final despite winds, rain, and freezing temperatures outside AT&T Stadium Arlington.
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.
The BMX Triple Challenge is not only back, but back to its normal self…an open invite event that welcomes anyone who is capable of clearing two massive jumps at the second Anaheim stop of the Monster Energy Supercross.

Best Trick contests are always a good show. It’s a chance for the rider to showcase heavy tricks they’ve been working on or just outright start hucking. The Best Trick contest at BMX triple Challenge was no different. Insane combos and NBD’s were flying everywhere.
From 35 riders, to 16, to the final 8...here are highlights from the always wild BMX Triple Challenge in Anaheim.
The semi-finals were insane! Who would’ve thought double backflips would be the norm? Anyway, hurry up and press play cause you’re not going to want to miss these highlights.
35 riders vs two massive jumps. Some more equipped to handle themselves than others...enjoy!
Andy Buckworth Wins BMX Best Trick at The Monster Energy BMX Triple Challenge 2022 in Anaheim, California
The greatest show in BMX dirt riding is officially back! Monster Energy congratulates team rider Andy Buckworth on winning the Best Trick event at the 2022 Monster Energy BMX Triple Challenge in Anaheim, California, on Saturday. In the series opener at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, the 31-year-old from Lake Haven, Australia, also took second place in the BMX Dirt competition. Buckworth was joined on the podium by a new addition to the Monster Energy roster: At age 27, Daniel Sandoval from Corona, California is known as the U.S. National Champion and he unleashed a barrage of 360 combos, with the culminating run consisting of a 360 barspin-to-downside whip-to-late barspin followed a 360 double whip-to-whip back for third place.
This was without a doubt the longest day of competition for me that I can remember! The level of riding was so insane! In this video I’ll take you through all of my runs even the crashes as well as getting a first look of what my face looked like when it was announced that I won! Such an AMAZING day!
