This year brings us to the second annual Vans BMX Street Invitational in Huntington Beach, California. Some of the world's most progressive street riders are invited to ride together under that golden California sunlight to see who can come out on top. Still with a 25,000 dollar purse on the line, riders were having a blast riding the course together instead of in competition. From the amazing underdogs coming out of the AM contest like Johnny Raekes, Lewis Mills, and Gaspar Guendulain to the big name pros like Garrett Reynolds and Chad Kerley, the level of riding was exceptional.

Make sure to check out the full highlights on DIG, including our IN THE CUT video.
