After what has been over 2 or so years in the making thanks to COVID, the Team USA Olympic Freestyle BMX Team has been announced. Since the United States are the points leader going into Tokyo in both Mens and Womens standings, they get to send two riders. Based on their own internal points system, they’ve gone with Perris Benegas and Hannah Roberts for the Women’s team, and Justin Dowell and Nick Bruce for the Men’s team! If you have been following along these picks shouldn’t be a HUGE surprise, but the Men’s was going to be a toss up between a few riders. Expect to see all four of these riders holding it down for Team USA over in Tokyo this summer.
Last summer during the X Games qualifier, Colton Walker and Justin Dowell played a Game of BIKE. We’re not sure why the footage took so long to surface, but it’s online now for you to check out. Hit play to see what both of these guys threw down and who took the win. It’s safe to say these guys had a good time with this.
“Once upon a time…in Boise, Idaho…we filmed a Game of Bike between Monster Army alum Colton Walker and Army General Justin Dowell. For some reason, they decided to film it in the street section of the park. Colton even put pegs on for the special event. Tune in to the full video for a laugh!” – Monster Army
We’ve seen some pretty wild BMX contests over the years, but what we haven’t seen is prize money that would definitely make an impact. The Chimera A-Side contest going down in Japan this weekend has a first place prize of $90,000. Prize money amounts can be kind of secretive for big events like X Games, but we’re pretty sure this is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, payouts for a 1st place in a BMX contest, which is awesome to see. Here’s a raw cut of some first impressions and a bit of riding footage that Vital BMX put together. It’s interesting to see the reaction these guys get when they contemplate what they would do if they won. We’ll see if the money is going to push people to go bigger than ever before to win. Either way, there’s going to be a park rider and a flatland rider with a real nice chunk of change in their bank account to start off 2020.
“We’re in Nagoya, Japan and the riders are about ready to compete for the $90,000 first place prize at the Chimera A-Side! Watch them get familiar with the course and hear how they’d spend the giant cash prize. Riders include Boyd Hilder, Logan Martin, Brandon Loupos, Daniel Sandoval, Justin Dowell, Ben Wallace, Rim Nakamura, and more!” – Vital BMX

Scotty Cranmer decided it was time for one last game of Flat Tire Death Gap at the Incline Club before it closed…
With the Incline Club closing, Scotty Cranmer figured they better get as much out of the place before it officially closed today, so he had the crew play a round of the ever dangerous and hilarious Flat Tire Death Gap! Check out what went down and who ended up rolling away without a nail in the tire!
“We decided to do a flat tire death gap one last time at my skate park before we close down! A bunch of professional riders attempt to jump their BMX bikes as far as possible and they have to clear a bed of screws and avoid getting a flat tire to continue on! The record is broken in this challenge and two riders battle it out to be the flat tire death gap champion! Do not attempt this we are professionals.” – Scotty Cranmer
Scotty Cranmer has been having a bunch of guests at the Incline Club before it closes…
