Tonight, an enthusiastic Sacramento crowd watched the young guns of BMX take on the hometown favorite and succeed as Brett Banasiewicz (South Bend, IN) and Pat Casey (Yorba Linda, CA) finished first and second in the first official MegaRamp ASA Triples (Triples) at ARCO Arena. The 15 and 16 year-olds wowed the fans with variations of their most innovative tricks to advance to the finals and meet head-to-head – a meeting which ended with Banasiewicz on top, winning his second Triples title and his fourth major contest this season. On the way to the title he landed four cash rolls, a trick he was the first to land successfully in competition just two weeks ago.“All of this is just fun,” said Banasiewicz of his recent wins. “When I ride I have to have fun and entertain myself, so I like thinking up new stuff and adding new twists and then trying them out at these comps.”
