There I was in Malaga at the Vans BMX Pro Cup, walking around the skatepark wearing a PROPS T-shirt. Was I wearing my heart on my sleeve? Pretty much…

The event was incredible. One of the best skateparks in the world being enjoyed by the best BMX riders in the world, including the man behind the masterpiece, Ruben Alcantara. Honestly, you couldn’t beat the atmosphere. There was an incredible amount of talent in one place, spanning multiple eras of BMX, and a hell of a lot of respect in the air.

With all the raddest dudes in one place, we got involved with everything that was happening – the gnarliest and most stylish riding, the craziest lines, the funny stuff that happened and everything else you can imagine. We filmed it all. We captured the shit talking and the backchat, filmed reactions when things went wrong, when things went right, and when the stoke was so high you couldn’t believe it.

Grab a brew, get comfy and enjoy our full event report above.
