Although the Texas Toast Jam was going on last weekend, there were still a few other big events going on like the Monster Speed & Style contest in Las Vegas! They basically took a traditional dirt course, doubled it so two riders can go head to head to throw down tricks, make it through the fastest and pull away the win with the best overall score! Check out highlights in the video above! It looks like a few guys bounced around between Las Vegas and Austin this past weekend…
“Paying a bit of homage to the Supercross event going on as the mainstay, Monster Energy threw a completely unique event that combined racing with dirt jumping on a switchable course. Two paths, two riders, two runs, and the lowest combined score counts. Yup, each rider could choose his destiny, going for speed or tricks and the scoring system laid out for the judges would make the call.
Done in a bracket style with 12 riders: round 1, round 2, semi-finals, finals…you only really have to look at the results to appreciate how diverse this event can really be.” – Ride BMX
