This past weekend Chad Kerley and Vitaminwater made history by holding what has been deemed to be the best contest ever in BMX at Brian Kachinsky’s – The Bakery. The contest was jam packed with 30 of the best riders in the world vying for $20,000 in prizes. Despite Garrett Reynolds sweeping up the contest, everyone rode really hard and many new tricks were landed.

We can’t wait for the next one. Thanks to Vitaminwater, Ride BMX, Dan’s Comp, Nike and Premium Bikes for helping make this event amazing. Special thanks to Brian Kachinsky and The Bakery for allowing us to have the first ever contest in their spot and for running point on all the local groundwork that needed to be done.
