Raw Cut – Toyota BMX Triple Challenge Arlington

February 23, 2019

The other day we got a look at the Monster Energy – 2019 Toyota BMX Triple Challenge Highlights, but it looks like there was plenty more footage leftover! Here’s a 20 minute raw cut the Our BMX crew have pieced together to give you a look at what went down from a ton of your favorite Pro’s and a few Am’s you probably haven’t heard of before!

“I headed out to Arlington, Texas, to film the second stop of the Toyota Triple Challenge for Monster Energy. They’re official highlight video dropped yesterday (link below), but I figured I’d put together a raw cut with a ton more riding. The clips are a bit jumbled just because of how I logged them for the Monster edit, but since this was judged as an overall impression event (not a single run), we’re good.” – Ryan Fudger
