Some of the top street riders dropped in on the course that was built on the beach to throw down some wild moves. Here’s a quick highlight video above from the qualifier that Vans dropped, then get a look at how Dennis Enarson qualified for first below, along with the bunnyhop an high air contests below! Looks like it was an awesome day. Expect plenty more from the finals soon!

“The Vans Rebel Jam lit up on the new street course at the Vans US Open of Surfing presented by Swatch. Checkout all the highlights from the prelims today.” – Vans

“Groups of five riders had 15 minutes to ride the course at the Rebel Jam. That meant that some groups got like eight runs… So, needless to say, a lot of amazing riding went down. Apologies for the epically long video, but my goal is to always attempt to show why people placed the way they did…not just a quick highlight vid.” – Our BMX

“Vans Rebel Jam course is dope and the field is packed with something like 40 riders. The jam format had every rider dropping in enough times to really get everything they wanted done, and Dennis Enarson came away with the first spot into the finals.

RESULTS:
1. Dennis Enarson
2. Boyd Hilder
3. Chad Kerley
4. Garrett Reynolds
5. Dakota Roche
6. Reed Stark
7. Broc Raiford
