Monster Recon Tour – San Jose, California
Here’s a look at all of the wild riding that went down during the Monster Recon Tour stop in San Jose, California recently! The park is dialed and there’s definitely a ton of shredders that made their way out for this one. Even Colony‘s Alex Hiam, who has been hanging out in California recently, made his way out and took home the win!
“The seventh stop of the Monster Army Recon Tour presented by Replay XD was on fire, literally! Not only was the riding insane, but the temperatures reached well into the 100 + range. Despite the heat, all of the competitors were not backing down from the massive concrete park known as Lake Cunningham Regional Skatepark in San Jose, CA. Competitors traveled from all over California and surrounding states to compete for the glory of being the best. The day started off with the youngest competitor the Recon Tour has witnessed yet. Four year old Mason Moreno showed us that the future of BMX will have very strong talent by impressing the well known judges Victor Salazar, Kris Fox, and Alex Landeros. Ryan Guettler didn’t let the heat affect his announcing skills and kept the energy of the crowd alive all day. As the day went on the riding kept increasing in skill level just like the heat. The Play Open division ended the day in a huge way with all of the competitors putting everything on the line. 14 year old Paul Shariff took home second place by destroying the course and tricking everything in his sight. He won over the crowd with huge tricks like his front flip and his intensity throughout his run. Alex Hiam from Australia took home the first place position by doing tricks no one else was throwing. Tricks like decades, 360 whip to bar, flairs, and his creative lines was the reason he walked away with the number one position and the all expense paid trip to Mike Spinner’s Play AM Finals in Florida.

Crispy Stream – Farewell, Big Salad
The Crispy Stream guys are getting serious down there in Australia and laying team riders off… They’ve just released Troy “Big Salad” Charlesworth from their line up and released this remix of some old footage to bring the news. No idea why, or if this is even real life… But it’s got some real good riding in it!
“It’s time to cull the team and what better way than to fire a team member. In remembrance Crispy Stream created this remix edit from his clips in their DVD ‘Joot Lagged’. Thanks for the good times Bicks, good having you on board and I wish you the best in your future sponsorship endeavours.“
