Yesterday we got a look at what went down during the 2017 Nitro World Games BMX Triple Hit Qualifiers, now we get a look at the madness that went down during the Best Trick qualifier. For best trick it’s one big jump and one heavy banger of a trick that gets you in for the contest. Needless to say, these guys sent some insane flips, whips, spins and more! Check out three videos giving you a look at what was landed and some of the spills.
“Yesterday, eight more BMX athletes made the cut at Nitro World Games Qualifiers in Perris, Calif. They will now advance to the Nitro World Games Semifinals which will take place at Salt Lake City’s Rice Eccles Stadium on Friday, June 23 in hopes of a chance to compete in the Finals on Saturday, June 24! These eight athletes will be joining the top three podium winners from last year’s event, in addition to three athletes invited by the competition committee.
