Costa Mesa, CALIF (July 31, 2018) – The Vans BMX Pro Cup Series returns to the Vans US Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, CA this week for the series’ second, highly-anticipated Pro Tour event of the 2018 season on August 3 & 5. Vans BMX Pro Cup veterans Larry Edgar, Sergio Layos and 2017 event winners Dennis Enarson and Hannah Roberts, will look to seize the lead against the series’ top-advancing riders Alex Hiam and Teresa Azcoaga during this weeks’ exhilarating BMX park terrain competition.
The 2018 Vans BMX Pro Cup Huntington Beach stop will showcase a brand-new, custom designed concrete park built directly on the sand in Huntington Beach, offering new features made to challenge and inspire the series’ tour pros and top advancers. This year’s built-to-spec custom course includes a center island jump box with an integrated jersey-barrier inspired spine, along with an assortment of re-designed hips, layback banks, and extensions, all arranged in an open-flow format that provide riders with countless line options and transfer opportunities throughout the course.
