The event featured both amateur and professional racers, and had riders of all ages competing.

The pros practised and raced off the eight-metre-tall Supercross start hill, which was nicknamed “Sumas Mountain.”

Abbotsford BMX is home to one of only two Supercross hills in Canada.

Athletes from across B.C., Alberta, Washington State, Oregon and California competed.
