Garrett Reynolds wins the 2017 Vans BMX Street Invitational!

Garrett Reynolds – 1st Place

Yesterday some of the top BMX street riders in the world made their way to the Vans skatepark in Huntington, Beach, California to battle it out! After all the crazy riding went down, Garrett Reynolds landed him in the top spot with Devon Smillie in 2nd place and Chad Kerley taking 3rd place. Above is a look at some of Garrett’s highlights and below you can find Devon’s and Chad’s highlights. We can imagine we’ll be seeing a flood of videos over the next few days showing everything else that went down!

“Garrett’s highlights were his whole runs, linking so many difficult combos back-to-back. He’s no stranger to winning a contest, and today he deserved another win against the best street riders in the world.

Devon Smillie – 2nd Place

“Devon was heavily tipped to win in 2017 but he came in runner-up. His lines go on-and-on, and he’s super exciting to watch.

Chad Kerley – 3rd Place

“Only Chad could get away with rocking a visor these days. He calls his bike “Milk”, and he can pop a bar-to-manual out of anything. Chad is really consistent and did qualify first but a close final score with the judges sat him back in 3rd.
