Today saw the event get started with Junior rounds 1 and 2. This would be the first heats towards crowning the 2021 World Junior Champion. With 58 young riders signed up, competition would be fierce from heat 1.

Stand out was Micheel Brayan, from Peru, who put on a great performance to sneak by the locals to win his first round heat.
The Red Bull Banana Challenge and the $1000 dollar prize it offers provides enough of an incentive for riders to ensure they’re going as big as possible. The Red Bull Banana Challenge runs throughout the contest across all the divisions and is awarded to the rider who lands the most radical and biggest move of the Fronton King contest.
