Bigger, better and faster - season kickoff in Chile this week, the first qualifier in China, a return to the birthplace of #pumpforpeace in Lesotho, a national series announcement for South Africa - and that’s only the beginning. The Red Bull Pump Track World Championship has already succeeded in creating a revolutionary global series with over 23 groundbreaking inaugural events around the world in 2018. More than 2000 athletes participated in over 19 countries and 67 riders competed in a World Final that saw local heroes, Olympic BMX racers and MTB World Champions compete on an even playing field.

The kickoff for the 2019 USA BMX Pro Series season took place on one of the most famous tracks in USA BMX’s longed history, Black Mountain BMX in Phoenix, AZ. Joris Daudet, the 2018 USA BMX #1 Pro has had some time off since wining the #1 title for the 3rd time black in November. But to watch him race this weekend in Phoenix, you would have thought he never took any break. Things kicked off for Joris on Friday afternoon, as he started the 2019 season off with some fast last, making his way into the main event. Joris was ready to continue his wining ways from 2018, as he lined up for the first main event if 2019. When the gate dropped, Joris put the power down and took the hole shot into turn #1.

Box’s oversized technology is a philosophy of design and engineering. Its goal is to reduce energy loss to deformation or friction. The results are enhanced control, better acceleration, and increased speed. Featuring beefy hollow-forged crank arms and a massive 30-millimeter Praxis™ M-30 spindle cold-forged from 7075 aluminum and precision ground to extremely tight tolerances, the Box One™ M30-M Crankset is the absolute stiffest junior BMX crankset available today. A precision CNC-machined Chromoly/Alloy self-extracting crank bolt system makes installation and removal a snap.
Box One Cranks utilize an oversized spindle (35mm on the M35 units and 30mm on the M30-M cranks). With the use of an OT Spindle, we have virtually eliminated flex, increased strength, while maintaining a light rigid product. These key traits translate into enhanced performance.
