The Recon Tour presented by Monster Army wrapped up on Saturday at the Krause Family Skatepark / Mission Valley YMCA in San Diego, CA. The Clairemont park was packed drawing over 110 entrees from Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, California as well as hundreds of friends and family who all made it out for the finals. Ross Lanier again showed he was the one to beat as he dominated the park taking home both the round 3 win and overall title in the Open / Pro division collecting $1,500 for his efforts. Woodward locals Jake Leiva and Sebastian Smith from Tehachapi, CA took home the 2nd and 3rd spots beating out nearly 25 total entries in the open division. Open / Pro rider Jake Leiva also won Best Trick and a $500 cash prize during a new post-event contest hosted by Dennis Enarson from Markit and Henry from East County BMX.
Trevor Fitz from Norco, CA took home the top spot in 18+ division as well as the overall win for the series. Brad Thomas

These last few weeks I’ve been busy with visiting my mom, doing some training/ physiotherapy, catching up with some old friends and even did a spinning marathon for a kids muscles charity… Not much news lately, because I’m still in rehabilitation due to a broken collarbone 4,5 weeks ago… My shoulder is starting to feel better and more comfortable doing things. I started physiotherapy last week, just doing some easy movements without any weights. It’s really difficult for me to take it easy, because now it’s the time to do other kind of things than just BMX, but unfortunately I’m not allowed duo my shoulder.
