For the past couple of years Vans BMX has taken a new approach to your traditional park contest... by simply changing the aspect of the judging format. The riders are able to take on the course with a main focus on creativity, style and park use instead of the original outlook onto trick progression.

The Vans BMX Pro Cup Series has been one hell of a contest this year, spanning four different countries to host four contests to find the world's best! Starting in Australia, then onto Spain and Mexico, all leading up to the World Championship in the United States!
