This past weekend the BMX Triple Challenge rolled into Columbus, Ohio. Although the jumps were looking good and a bunch of heavy hitters came out, the weather didn’t quite cooperate and ended up getting rained out. They were still able to do the qualifying round that ended up being the final, so plenty of action went down. Check out the highlights above and a few more videos below!
“For the first time in 11 years a BMX Triple Challenge had to be cancelled before the Finals went down. With heavy rain in the forecast in Columbus, Ohio, it was best to call it for everyone’s safety. Finals results were taken from the qualifying round, and It’s safe to say everyone went in before the storm hit.” – Our BMX

“Round 1 of the SMX Playoffs in Columbus, Ohio brought out some serious BMX chaos as Monster Army and Monster Energy athletes went head-to-head in the BMX Triple Challenge.
Monster Army’s Aaden Reed, Cullen Sumner, Jake Rutkowitz and Kaden Stone put it all on the line alongside Monster Energy’s Andy Buckworth, Bryce Tyron, Jade Tooth and Mike Varga.
Big tricks. Bigger sends. Zero holding back.
Watch the crew battle it out in Columbus and see who brought the heat to Round 1 of the SMX Playoffs.” – Monster Army
“Mike Varga wins after sending qualifying like it was already the finals. Rain was in the forecast, so he put down the run he wanted: double backflip, 720 barspin, 360 double whip to barspin, and a 1080 on the last jump.
Watch the Columbus BMX Triple Challenge Finals: cash rolls, 360 flips, a nothing bike flip, and more all from the best dirt riders in the world including Maxime Chalifour, Jaie Toohey, Gabriel Chaves, and more! Ohio also showed up strong at the event with Marcus Christopher, Nick Bruce, and Aaden Reed.” – Brant Moore
