The 2026 Monster Energy Recon Tour rolled into Tucson for the latest round, and it was another wild event with a ton of amazing riding from the Pros to the AMs. Here’s a video Monster Army put together giving you a look at all of the highlights!
“Monster Army Recon Tour 2026 hit Tucson, Arizona on May 30 for stop two of the season at Premises Park — and the BMX freestyle talent did not disappoint.
In Sport Class, Monster Army’s Aaden Reed went back-to-back, taking the win after also topping the opening stop in San Diego. His run was headlined by a massive 360 flip over the spox and sealed with a flawless 540 flair. Teammate Cullen Sumner rounded out the podium in third with a smooth, technical run that featured a clean 360 double tailwhip.
The Men’s UCI C1 Pro final brought the heat. Jake Rutkowitz captured the first pro win of his career — after crashing his first run, he answered back with a standout second attempt, stomping a flair tailwhip straight into a perfect 720 barspin. Tucson native and Monster Energy pro Victor Peraza took third with a creative blend of technical combos and unique lines all over the course.
