High-flying BMX action took over the SkyLab BMX Park in Bryanston over the weekend as the Park Lines BMX Tournament hosted the official 2026 South African BMX Freestyle Championships.
South Africa’s top BMX Freestyle riders gathered to compete for national honours, valuable UCI ranking points, prize money, and championship glory. At the end of an action-packed day, Vincent Leygonie successfully defended his Pro Men’s title to once again be crowned South African BMX Freestyle Champion.
Riders competed in both the Amateur and Pro divisions, with judges scoring runs based on use-of-park, amplitude, execution, trick variety and difficulty. The Pro division competitors battled not only for national rankings but also for a share of the R30,000 prize purse and Garmin Instinct 3 smartwatches. The Amateur Division winner earned a brand-new Mongoose BMX, while additional prizes from event partners were awarded throughout the podium positions. The crowd-favourite Insta360 Best Trick Contest offered riders the chance to win an Insta360 Action Camera.
