no doubt that this contest would provide riders with the perfect platform to showcase their riding and an unbelievable amount of progression. Nick Bruce did just that when he unleashed the worlds first ever flair windshield wiper, which then went viral all around the Internet and on social media. 
“When we first set out on the mission of the Recon Tour we always had the dream of turning this into a PRO event and giving the amateurs a platform to progress into the PRO ranks. It is an amazing feeling to watch this happen first hand and also see world first tricks performed at the Recon Tour” - Robby Burleson Recon Tour Manager.
Chase Pauza earned his way into the PRO event by qualifying in on Saturday at the Recon Tour AM event. Chase impressed the judges with his massive transfers and effortless style combined with plenty of bar-spin and tail whip combinations. Following close behind Chase were Jacob Bailey and in third was the young 14-year-old Bryce Tryon, both traveling all the way from California. All three athletes now have the opportunity to compete in any of the Recon PRO events the remainder of the year.
