From first drop to final landing, this stacked crew brought progression, style, and raw confidence, pushing the level and setting the tone for what’s next.
The 2026 Monster Energy Triple Challenge Finals at Hellsend were won by America's Brady Baker. The field was deep with riders making the trip to South Africa such as Tom van den Bogaard (NED), Alec Danelutti (AUS), Wiktor Samojlik (POL), Leandro Moreira (BRA), Josh Dove (AUS), Ben Towle (GBR), Mike Varga (CAN), Maxime Chalifour (CAN), Jaie Toohey (AUS), Mike Varga (CAN) and local hero Vincent Leygonie. Out of three runs through the pack, the best score counted. Brady's second run scored a 98.00 which wasn't beat by anyone after that. Jude Jones came closest with a 97.33 in his last run but that wasn't enough, it left a .67 margin for Baker for the win. Mike Varga's 2nd run got him third place in South Africa. In this starter field that's something to be happy with.
