When the action is there, it makes it easier on the photographers to catch it. Philip Tregunna made it to the 040BMXPARK from Belgium all weekend to take pictures of the riding, but also the life around the Braaab event. We've gathered the best shots here of some of the biggest rippers: Tom van den Bogaard, Troy Hayward, Kenneth Tancre, Crazy Mike Hendrick, Stuart Gibson, Paul Thoelen, Daniel Dhers, Daniel Juchatz, Rene van IJzendoorn, Jack Clark, Arjan Ellens, Inuk Siegstad, Karl Southern, Ashley Finlay etc.

Hookit and Monster Energy are pleased to announce the 2015 Monster Army Recon Tour dates and venues as well as a new partnership with Mongoose Bikes. Hookit and Monster Energy created the Recon Tour in 2012 as a regional BMX contest series in Southern California. The mission was simple: discover, support and progress the best up-and-coming athletes in their sport. The past two years the tour has grown into a nationwide event that added structure and a vision to progress and truly identify the next unknown talent, while also supporting the professional athletes. 

The second annual Braaab contest at the 040BMXPARK in Einhoven, Netherlands took place over the weekend. Riders got into town during the week, and they came from all places. Multiple X-Games gold medalist Daniel Dhers even made it to The Netherlands for the weekend to come ride at Daniel Wedemeijer's comp. Daniel runs the Braaab clothing brand and wants to give back to the sport in the form of organising a good contest that everyone can enter. The Amateur riders rode their contest on Saturday, and the Pro comp was held on Sunday.

After solid practice sessions on Friday the Am comp got underway at the awesome BMX PARK in Eindhoven. Getting to ride the park was something special for most of the visitors. The ramps are on the high side, but getting used to that doesn't seem to take too long for most. During the contest each rider got to ride the park all by themselves for a minute and they got to do a last trick. 16 riders moved on to the finals where 4 riders had an 8 minute session plus a chance to pull a trick they wanted to do in two tries. Number one qualifier Jules van Gijssel also managed to win the Am final.
