In the main event finals, 2017 Vans Pro Cup Málaga event winner Chase
Hawk prevailed yet again with steadfast bike control throughout Rubén
Alcántara’s park to take home his second Málaga victory. Dennis
Enarson tracked close behind, putting down a huge tail whip transfer into the
vert wall to secure a second-place finish, in addition to taking the Best Trick
award. In third place, Corey Walsh showcased ingenuity, unlocking some of
the course’s most unique lines paired with enormous back-to-back transfers
to earn the Best Line award.
USA’s Perris Benegas revealed the day’s most powerful riding for the
women’s division, ruling the course with speed and grace to claim her first
Pro Cup podiumwin, while Spain’s front-runner Teresa Azcoaga turned up the
heat in her last run to clench second place and the overall series
championship title. Pro Cup newcomer Lara Lessman maintained her semifinals
momentum, surpassing the stacked field with advanced tricks and big
airs to place third.
“I’m completely blown away, I can’t believe I won the world championship
title,” Azcoaga gratefully expressed. “To go from only riding my local park one
year ago, to winning the series is a dream.”
