“Larry Edgar had big plans for he Montenegro course and they paid off big time. Larry boosted some of the highest airs and transfers of the comp and muscled some big moves at the end of the run to earn himself a close second place finish on the podium, barely behind Jason Watts.

“Sergio Layos raced around the Guadalajara Vans BMX Pro Cup course popping lighting fast transfers with style and tricks on all parts of the massive Montenegro course earning himself a third place on the podium, his third top-three finish of the year.

“When the Dust settled from semi-finals, the top 18 riders were set loose to rip and shred on the enormous Montenegro park in Guadalajara, Mexico. Huge transfer, giant 360s and geometry that only works in BMX guided these desert pirates through the four huge bowls. The top three finishers were 1) Jason Watts, 2) Larry Edgar, 3) Sergio Layos.

Crazy Five Dock Bowl Session

March 13, 2017

During the Vans BMX Pro Cup the other week in Sydney, Australia, some of the guys decided to head to Five Dock skatepark for a session in their massive bowl. Dan Foley pulled out the camera to film some of the riding that went down. With a line up of Larry Edgar, Ryan Nyquist, Dylan Lewis, Kris Fox, Jason Watts, Cody Pollard, Chris James, and Corey Walsh, you know things got wild. Check it out!

“Raw footage from one of the craziest sessions I’ve ever witnessed. After one of the practice days at the Vans BMX Pro Cup in Sydney, a heavy crew met up at Five Dock skatepark and absolutely annihilated the bowl. I had to grab the camera for a bit and document it. I guess 10 ft. airs are normal now”

Vans – “Illustrated” Jason Watts Section

March 3, 2017

If you aren’t already a huge fan of Jason Watts, then his section from the Vans “Illustrated” video should do the trick! Jason is an absolute shredder on everything you put in front of him, bringing a TON of style, creative and original tricks and more to everything he touches (We’re loving the number of X-Ups in this). This section is a super good indicator of that because he lays down some ridiculous tricks that you don’t see too many other riders doing! Plus, Jason knows how to go fast and big, which is always a good thing in a world of nibbler jibbler ledge edits. Hit play because this is an absolute MUST SEE!

We just can’t figure out how the hell he does those Nac-Nac Nose Manuals so well!

“Jason Watts brings new meaning to style with his first full-part for Vans BMX by riding everything from bowls to street to trails and drains – you’ve never seen some of these moves before. From San Diego to LA, Las Vegas and Australia – Jason’s style bleeds through on anything you put in front of him with only a bag of candy and soda to keep his fire burning.”
