The final rounds of the 2015 Vert and Park series took place over the August Bank Holiday weekend at the awesome Mount Hawke skatepark in the depths of Cornwall. A lot of the riders and organisers took the opportunity to make a holiday of it, combining two of the world’s best activities, BMX and camping. The vert and park series are in their third and second years respectively, and are there to provide a solid platform for riders in the UK to meet up, visit different parks and have a free to enter open contest series.
Building for the future, turnouts of 20 riders in under 13s park, and 15 in under 13s vert show there’s plenty of fresh blood on the horizon. Moving up the groups, the standard of riding in Amateur and Pro, in particular from lesser known up-and-coming riders, is going to keep some established riders on their toes. The series aims to grow year on year so find it on facebook, come along to a contest and enter for fun. In the meantime check out the photos and the overall placings to spot some names for the future!
