Monster Army Recon Tour 2015: Rye Airfield - More BMX Videos

The third Recon Tour PRO event took place this past weekend in New Hampshire at the world famous Rye Airfield. The competition was fierce attracting some of the biggest names in BMX from around the world. Flipping his way to the PRO win and $5K was “The Dingo” himself, Andy Buckworth. Right on his heels was Daniel Sandoval taking home second place with $2.5K, and the young gun Colton Walker grabbed third earning himself $1K.

“When Jamie Bestwick who is the most iconic BMX athlete in the world is impressed by the level of talent and unbelievable progression of athletes that are not on the radar yet, we know we have something special. Being able to put the spotlight on the new generation of BMX riders, while still providing the biggest BMX athletes an event series to showcase their skills, is what the Recon Tour is all about.” - Robby Burleson (Recon Tour Manager)

Taking the Open AM first place was Bryce Tryon. The young California rider now becomes the sixth AM set to compete at the Recon Tour PRO/AM final at The Unit in Greenville, NC this November. At only 14 years of age Bryce is a BMX powerhouse who not only has established himself as well-rounded park rider but also races BMX and has even provided stunt work for movies and commercials. Bryce started competing in the Recon Tour series at a young age and has shown a great deal of progression every year. Just behind Bryce on the podium was San Diego Native Parker Heath followed by Woodward East resident Jay Dalton closing off the podium with a solid third place finish.
