Banasiewicz met with fans and friends, accepting well wishes and just taking it all in. Brett's not talking to the media just yet, he wants to continue his rehab, but he was happy to hang out at The Kitchen.
Some of the top professional BMX riders were on hand, including X-Games competitor Scotty Cranmer.
Brett created this competition so he could bring to the best in the sport to his hometown. The guys say he is an inspiration.
Daniel Sandoval was the winner. Tyler Ferrnagel won best trick.
