Gilbert, AZ: (PRWEB) February 19, 2015 -- THE BEST IN BMX RACING TO COMPETE IN PHOENIX THIS WEEKEND - AT THE USA BMX WINTER NATIONALS

One of America’s largest action sports - BMX Racing, is coming back to town. This weekend, over 1,000 amateur racers from around the country, ranging in ages from 2 to 70-plus, will converge on Black Mountain BMX track for the USA BMX Winter Nationals.

This weekend also marks the first Pro series race of the 2015 season, with the World’s fastest BMX racers from all over the World kicking off their season - to gain points for their country, which will determine how many Olympic spots will go to their homeland. Pros and Olympics athletes from 2008 and 2012 will be on hand, hoping to get a jump on their Olympic quest for Rio 2016. Among them all is the newly crowned USA BMX No.1 Pro - Latvia’s Maris Strombergs, who is also the mens Gold medalist from both Beijing and London games and a former World Champion.

Saturday’s racing will kick off with the Strider bike class, for 2 & Under, 3, 4 and 5 year olds on pedal-less push bikes. Toddlers as young as 20 months will be racing on a special mini-version of the Black Mountain track, and getting their first taste of victory.
At the other end of the spectrum, there will be plenty of parents and even some grandparents racing in the larger-wheeled classes for 30, 40, 50 and 60+ year olds. USA BMX racing is one of those rare sporting activities where moms and dads get to compete along with their children.

BMX is a sport for boys and girls of all ages, with four unique skill levels. It is full of nonstop action - with up to eight riders speeding down the starting hill, maneuvering over dirt obstacles and around steeply banked turns in hopes of gaining a spot on the podium. On average, each race is a 33 second sprint, with full contact, close-knit racing and sometimes - thrilling crashes and victories.
Winners will take home a hefty 4 foot tall trophy.

  • There is, however, a $10 a day parking fee, to benefit the track.
