Guadalajara, MEXICO (August 25, 2018) – Vans BMX Pro Cup, the world’s leading platform for elite BMX park terrain competition, kicked off in Guadalajara, Mexico today for the third Pro Tour stop of the 2018 season to determine the final contenders for tomorrow’s men and women’s penultimate event. Powering through a hand injury, defending Vans Pro Cup Guadalajara event winner Jason Watts rose to the top of the men’s semi-final rounds with his signature manuals and back-to-back tricks to qualify first. USA’s Matt Cordova captured the judge’s attention by executing massive airs and one-of-a-kind transfers throughout the course to qualify second while 2017 Guadalajara event Best Line award winner Jamie Cooper-Ellis surpassed today’s heavy lineup to qualify third, after securing a first-place finish and a World Championship invite in yesterday’s regional qualifiers event.
Dominating the women’s prelims, Tour Pro Angie Marino’s high speed and big airs granted her the first-place qualifying position, followed closely by the women’s current series points leader Teresa Azcoaga, who will be battling the 2017 Vans Pro Cup Guadalajara event winner and third place qualifier Nina Buitrago for a third consecutive podium win of the season.
The top nine women from today’s semi-final rounds advance to tomorrow’s final event and the top ten men’s semi-finalists will join the ten current series point leaders tomorrow, August 26, for the third and final stop of the Vans BMX Pro Cup world tour preceding the series’ World Championships.
