ULT.X And A FULL PODIUM SWEEP IN BMX<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Sun City<\/strong> – It was another incredible BMX event last weekend, with ULT.X taking place at the Sun City Resort.<\/p>\n

Monster Energy’s\u00a0Pat Casey, Kevin Peraza, Ben Wallace, Alex Coleborn and Mike Varga were all in town and certainly hungry to win in this event, up against a huge\u00a0line-up of\u00a0riders from almost every continent.<\/p>\n

The super fun and tight setup at Sun City definitely pushed all the riders to think out of the box,\u00a0with a lot of emphasis put on catching transition as smooth as possible, without putting in too much pedal exertion in between the ramps. Our boys made light work of it, resulting in a full Monster Energy podium sweep from Pat Casey, Bryce Tryon and Kevin Peraza.<\/p>\n

Mike Varga and Ben Wallace wasted no time kitting up to lock in some big lines on the park. Wallace, blasting his signature cranked lookbacks and downside whips, as well as some new Can-Can 360 variations, impressing spectators and competitors alike.<\/p>\n

Fresh off a 2nd Place finish at The Night Harvest in Cape Town,\u00a0Varga braved the\u00a035+ degree heat and put in some solid runs, packed with his\u00a0magical\u00a0bag of tricks,\u00a0like stretched Superman whips and tons of crazy looking spins and under flip transfers, ending him just off the\u00a0podium\u00a0in a the\u00a04th Place spot.<\/p>\n

“This was my first trip to South Africa and I absolutely loved it here,\u201d said Varga. \u201cBoth contests I rode at had amazing vibes and you’ll definitely see me coming back in the future!\u201d<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The nicest guy with the biggest smile in BMX, always doing the wildest tricks with the biggest smile on his face, Kevin Peraza\u00a0definitely brought the most original lines to the contest this year. From 270-downside whip drop-ins, nose-bonk combos for days. Not forgetting those crowd-pleasing\u00a0Superman seat-grabs and 360 whips, to tables. Kevin is the man, and it was great to have him back in South Africa after missing the contest last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m humbled to end up on the podium next to Pat and Bryce,\u201d said Peraza. \u201cIt\u2019s also a huge bonus to be back doing it in South Africa. I always have such a good time out here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Current man-of-the-moment, young Bryce Tryon is currently on a contest-destroying warpath, climbing higher up the ranks after each event he enters. The setup and Bryce\u2019s style seemed to gel\u00a0well together, with plenty of opportunities for transfers and alley-oops, Bryce used the park to his full advantage, squeezing in bar-spins where they shouldn\u2019t be possible\u00a0and lacing runs packed with tricks from start to finish. It looks like 2019 is going to be Bryce\u2019s year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been one of the best trips of my life,\u201d said Tryon. \u201cI\u2019m so grateful for the opportunity to come out to South Africa, and to end an already successful two weeks with a 2nd at Ultimate X is a dream come true, I can\u2019t wait to come back next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pat Casey is an absolute beast, charging at everything he does with 150%. After taking a couple of brutal\u00a0slams in practice while figuring out some crazy looking front-flairs. Pat got them dialed in and proceeded to annihilate the entire setup. His winning run was impressive, packed with variation and big tricks that he is known for.\u00a0The tight\u00a0setup slightly resembled his enviable backyard ramp so he had no problem completely ruling it.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Africa is one of my favourite places to visit in the world, the vibe and the people are so welcoming and friendly,\u201d said Casey. \u201cI\u2019m super stoked to come away with a double win from The Night Harvest and now Ultimate X, I honestly can\u2019t wait to come back to this amazing country.\u201d<\/p>\n
