Monster Energy congratulates Kyle Baldock on being crowned the overall champion of the inaugural three-stop Toyota BMX Triple Challenge. A scaled-down event that’s sole focus is to progress the level of tricks possible, the Toyota BMX Triple Challenge brought the best riders in the world to compete in a two jump, winner takes all huckfest. With a first place win in Anaheim, CA and a second place in Glendale, AZ, Baldock came to the third and final event in Atlanta with an 11-point lead. But, with the unique format of the event that gives points to the Best Trick event winner, the overall championship was really open for several heavy hitters to include Brandon Loupos, Nick Bruce, and Logan Martin to take the win.
The BMX Indoor in Caen, France doesn't only have a race going on. Dirt jump demos were part of the show as well as the first round of the French BMX Flatland Cup. The results of the Open Class in flatland just came in and Matthias Dandois won the first round. More rounds to go with five classes at every stop.

The final round of the 2017 Toyota Triples just finished in Atlanta. The good thing about these events is that they're held at the AMA MX Supercross series so the riders get to see the motocross after the event as well. Well, that's not really the best thing, the riding itself has gone insane and the riders present are taking BMX to a different level. The final round had an Australian podium with Brandon Loupos in third, Kyle Baldock in second and a first for Logan Martin. American Jake Leiva received a $3000 USD check for his Best trick and Baldock scored the 2017 Toyota Triples overall title. Hopefully back for next season as it also shows the sport to many MX fans at each stop.

Monster Energy congratulates Monster Army rider Brian Fox on his upset victory at the second stop of the Toyota BMX Triple Challenge this weekend in Glendale, Arizona. Monster Energy’s Kyle Baldock sealed second place and remains the overall point’s leader, and Logan Martin took third. The second stop of the new three-stop dirt series takes place during select Monster Energy Supercross events and is at the forefront of the progression in BMX. The two-jump, winner takes all format, aims to bring together the best BMX riders in the world with a points-based, open series for anyone to take part in and throw down.
Heavy wind delayed the event on Friday, so both the open qualifier and finals took place on Saturday,
Club ZwölfZehn was turned into a BMX party when Freedom BMX called for their annual BMX Award show. Big winner of the night was Paul Thoelen who grabbed the video of the year award, Best German Dirt rider of the year and also the Best Park rider award. Mellowpark once again walked away with the Best Park of the year Pokal and Felix Prangenberg de-throned Bruno Hoffmann in the Street rider of the year. The Best flatlander cup was for Kevin Nikulski and best Brand was for wethepeople. The Freedom BMX Best International rider award went to Devon Smillie who was not present in Stuttgart to dance the night away but will receive his award when he gets to Estonia next week.
