Name: Emilio Falla
Hometown: Born and raised in Quito, Ecuador and currently living in Murrieta, California.
Sponsors: Bombshell Racing systems, Technique, Davis Racewear, Shimano Ecuador, odibmx, riders365.
How many years ago did you start riding BMX?
Emilio Falla: The other day a kid asked me this, and man it sounded crazy, but it’s been 32 years of riding a BMX bike.
How was racing BMX when you lived in Ecuador?
Emilio Falla: In Ecuador we have a small series. I believe it’s only 7 stops, so it’s the opposite to the USA or Europe where you race more often.
Being a two-time Olympian representing your nation, how did that make you feel?
Emilio Falla: I’ve said this many times. It was an honor and a dream come true, specially being there as one of the pioneers of BMX racing in Beijing 2008. For sure I wanted a different outcome in Beijing and London but that’s BMX. It’s a beautiful sport but sometimes it’s brutal and everything happens too quick.
Ducarroz and Sideris claim Swiss National Championships in Cadenazzo
The Swiss National Championships were held in Cadenazzo, Switzerland on 01 October 2022. The park that was built in 2019 for the UEC European BMX Park Championships has seen some good activity since. In 2022 it hosted the Swiss National Park Championships and brought the BMX scene together for a good time once again. It's no surprise that Nikita Ducarroz claimed the 2022 title in the Women class as she had also medaled at the Olympic Games last year. The Park title in Elite Men went to shredder Alex Sideris who represents Switzerland at the BMX Freestyle events all over the place, now as the National champ of 2022. Congrats to both.
2022 Swiss National BMX Park champions:
Men: Alex Sideris
Women: Nikita Ducarroz
