Monster Energy congratulates team rider Scotty Cranmer on his bronze today in BMX Freestyle Park at X Games Barcelona 2013. It’s the seventh career X Games medal for the 26 year old from New Jersey. Today’s BMX Park final event saw the top riders battling through their heats with the top six riders advancing to the final, which was set up as an 18-minute jam-style format. The top two runs for each rider counted towards their final score. “I had to battle not only other competitors, but also the elements – it started to rain just as I started one of my runs and huge gusts of wind kept me from doing my big tricks,” said Cranmer. “It was an honor to share the podium with those guys who I’ve looked up to, and I’m happy to bring a medal home for Monster Energy.”
After he progressed strong through his heat, Cranmer went to work in the final. After sketching out on his first run he improved consistently from there, needing strong runs near the end to lock down a podium spot. His top runs were full of smooth and

The Monster Army Recon Tour presented by Replay XD made its fourth stop at The Incline Club in Lakewood, NJ. Scotty Cranmer's home park is amazing and definitely lived up to the hype! The event went off with 90 competitors and some of the best riding so far on the tour. Team Hyper stepped up to the plate with multiple riders gaining podium spots in various divisions. The battle for the top spot and the all expense paid trip to the Play AM finals at Mike Spinner's house in the Play Open division was intense to say the least.

The FISE has got the best crowds. Also the bank filled up during Pro Flatland qualifiers. With a clear view on the erased platform, the people got to see the riders do their thing. Especially the last group of riders layed down a show that had people stand up and give them a standing ovation. Of course this fired up the riders as well to try their hardest tricks. A strong field of flatland pros made it to Montpellier. This is how they ended up in the Pro qualifiers on Friday. Watch the finals live on FATBMX.com.

On Thursday evening the Spine Mini contest at the FISE was called off after a few riders rode because the ramp became too slippery to continue. It was decided that on Friday evening, a straight final would be held, hoping the ramp wouldn't get as moist. 25 riders lined up for a battle in front of what must have been a record crowd for a miniramp contest ever. Each rider got two runs each to show their miniramp skills plus three attempts to pull the "last trick" that they had in mind. It was fair and the same for everyone on the ramp. From the start the riders didn't hold back. The crowd was alive and kicking and the riders got pumped. Dean Cueson (UK) and Chris Courtenay (AUS) went super high where others added extra barspins to their tricks (quadruple barspin over the spine for instance) or stuck a leg over the toptube to do a cancan 720 over the spine (Todd Meyn). But the winner in the end was Daniel Sandoval (USA), followed by Logan Martin (AUS) and Kevin Peraza (USA). Each of them was ripping in their own ways. Can't wait what the Park contest is going to bring.

The FiSE contest kicked off on Wednesday with the regional contest finals. On Thursday the amateur park contest was on the schedule as well as the Junior park qualification. The rain messed up the full qualification as well as the Pro Miniramp comp, but the high-air contest did take place on the park course. With a spine and a wedge to wedge construction in the way to get speed, Justin Fouque, Dean Cueson and Daniel Wedemeijer battled for the highest air. Justin was consistent at 3,05 meters every time. Dean Cueson topped that by 3,20m until Daniel Wedemeijer got some extra speed and sent it to the 3,40m range. Bottom bracket was counted and you can see Daniel with his highest air in the photo on the right. More from the FISE in the upcoming days. A whole bunch of Australians made it over which will make this an interesting one.
