“Rebel Jam is more of a street event, so there wasn’t a lot of dudes willing to battle it out with Larry Edgar in high air. The reality is that not many people in the world are trying to battle Larry in a high air event, but luckily Mike Mogollon was there to give him a solid run.” – Our BMX

Here’s the raw highlights from the Vans Rebel Jam. Best trick, Women’s, and High Air videos are still in the works.” – Our BMX

“Closing out the opening weekend of the Vans US Open with crowds ablaze, the first-ever Vans Rebel Jam BMX street competition held on American soil concluded its final rounds, awarding decorated BMX riders Dennis Enarson and Perris Benegas as the event’s overall winners. Showcasing 18 of the world’s best street riders in the finals, the Vans Rebel Jam also recognizes originality and innovation with individual rider awards ranging from most creative, hard trick, and best overall style. The 2019 Vans Rebel Jam is unique in all of the industry for championing prize parity for competitors and matching podium winnings for men and women.

In the Men’s division, all-terrain BMX specialist Dennis Enarson conquered the street course with ease, utilizing speed and power to demonstrate expert bike control, and land difficult maneuvers and unexpected lines. Commanding the lead in prelims, it’s no surprise Enarson prevailed in the finals.

“Thank you to all the Huntington Beach locals, and everyone who came out to the event. Thank you for supporting BMX. This event was so fun and the hype was real.”- Dennis Enarson, Vans Rebel Jam Men’s Winner

Joining Enarson on the podium is the ever-diverse Boyd Hilder in 2nd, landing huge airs and backflips to please the crowds, while Garrett Reynolds’ clean consistency and technical style earned him 3rd.

“This Rebel Jam competition was amazing. The crowd was great and riding with everyone was so much fun. Shout out to Vans and everyone for involving the women and making things equal for us.” – Perris Benegas, Vans Rebel Jam Women’s Winner

In the women’s division, Perris Benegas was the field outlier, impressing the judges with big airs, clean feeble grinds, and connecting runs like a pro. Benegas completed a notable peg grind over the rainbow rail, sealing the deal for her victory. Joining Benegas on the podium, Angie Marino in 2nd and Natasha Wetzel in 3rd, who each illustrated their own creativity and style in the first-ever women’s event in Rebel Jam competition history.

For a dramatic finale, winners of the Best Trick navigated the custom-designed Cult wall obstacle, demonstrating a clinic of some of the most difficult and creative tricks in BMX. See below for the full results and watch the full replay and VansUSOpenofSurfing.com.
