Monster Energy Dominates Opening Stop of 2026 Recon Tour
Bryce Tryon celebrates after winning the Pro Men’s division as Monster Energy and Monster Army riders swept the podium at the 2026 Recon Tour opener in San Diego.
Monster Energy congratulates team rider Bryce Tryon on taking first place in the Pro Men’s division at the opening stop of the 2026 Monster Army Recon Tour. Following up on last year’s action, the series kicked off at Clairemont Skatepark in San Diego on April 25, 2026.
Unfortunately, the Pro Men’s final was rained out, forcing results to be determined from qualifying scores. Bryce Tryon earned a well-deserved win after putting down two solid runs in qualifying. Brady Baker and Kaden Stone rounded out the podium, kicking off the 2026 season.
“I got my start in the Recon Tour as an amateur, and to take the win in San Diego as a pro feels amazing!” said Tryon.
The Sport Class, designed to spotlight the next generation of pro riders, was topped by Monster Army standouts Aaden Reed and Ronan Fazio. Both riders pushed progression with standout runs, as Aaden Reed delivered a perfect alleyoop 540 flair and 360 flip, while Ronan Fazio brought power to the course with a massive footplant transfer and a clean flair barspin.
“Stoked to pull the run I wanted and start off the season with a win,” said Reed.
In the Pro Women’s division, Monster Army rider Saige Thunstrom secured second place with a strong run featuring a truckdriver on the step up and a big one-handed table on the hip.
The 2026 Monster Army Recon Tour continues on May 30th at Premises Park in Tucson, Arizona.
