USA Cycling’s 2011 BMX Power Rankings, its system for identifying the best overall American BMX performers in international and domestic BMX racing, have been finalized. Corben Sharrah (Tucson, Ariz./GT Bicycles) and Arielle Martin (Spanaway, Wash./Intense BMX) were the top male and female Elite racers. Rusty Nesvig (San Diego, Calif./Factory Intense) and Brooke Crain (Visalia, Calif./Haro-Rockstar) finished as the top Juniors.

This system is based on the UCI points tables but will include only those points earned in the current season (i.e., they will not be based on a 12-month rolling calendar or results from another region of the world
The clock counts down with less than a year till the London 2012 Olympics! Last weekend round 3 of the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series was held in London as part of the London Prepares Series. The London Prepares Series is the official London 2012 sports testing program which allows organising committees to test all aspects of an event one year ahead of the Games. Leading into the event I had 2 weeks off my bike after my fall at BMX World Championships to try recover as much as possible. I also missed a special test session the week before on the Olympic track that many riders and some of my team mates attended. I was feeling confident but a little worried at the same time as to how my knee would pull up with racing.
It was an incredible feeling to be in the Olympic Village, the vibe, the track and the procedures. I was amazed with the amount of security to get into the village…sniffer dogs, passport accreditation checks, car bomb searches, metal detectors and multiple security checkpoints.
Following a lengthy rain delay in London, Nicholas Long (Lakeside, Calif./Haro-Rockstar) was able to score a bronze medal for the United States at the official BMX Olympic Test Event and UCI Supercross BMX World Cup #3. Of the more than 120 men who entered the competition, Long’s teammate David Herman (Wheat Ridge, Colo./Intense BMX) was also able to make the eight-rider final, finishing in fifth. Amanda Carr (Punta Gorda, Fla./Endeavor-Rip XX Racing), a relative 
Witnessed by a sell out crowd home favourite Shanaze Reade (GBR) dominated the final on the Olympic ‘home course’. With the men Marc Willers (NZL) was first to cross the finish line in the final to claim top honours during the third stop of the UCI BMX Supercross at London’s Olympic Park. It was a tough day for all the riders, organisers and track builders. Rain delayed racing until approximately 17.00 hours. The 64 Elite Men and 32 Elite Women started practice as scheduled but had to wait for about three hours before practice and resumed and racing started. The sky completely cleared and the sun came out for Reade and Willers but also for the enthusiastic crowd that refused to go home. England showed picture perfect conditions as even the wind died down to create a historic BMX race on the Olympic BMX track in London.
Sixty-four Elite men qualified for the finals. But there was no

Willoughby and Pottier win Superfinal Time Trials at UCI BMX Supercross World Cup London Olympic Park 19 August 2011 – On the first day of racing at the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series presented by Swatch in London BMX star, Sam Willougby (AUS), won the Elite Men’s time trial. Magalie Pottier (FRA) did the same thing in the Elite Women’s competition. The sun came out for the debut of this unique Olympic BMX track after torrential rain caused yesterdays practice to be delayed. Unique features on course at the second turn include the radical ‘Oakley Underground’, a tunnel where the women drop in and pop out on the other end while the men have to master the exciting Red Bull jump. In the very early hours of morning on the track builders and LOCOG teams bought the track back to life after yesterdays rain. With the sun out in full force the track recovered quickly and practice got underway at 11am.
The opening day of the BMX Olympic Test event & UCI Supercross World Cup #3 saw the United States qualify more riders through to Saturday's main than any other nation. Connor Fields (Henderson, Nev./Chase BMX) qualified first on his initial time trial run, showing his prowess on the soon-to-be Olympic track. BMX fans can watch the main event on NBC this Sunday, August 19 at 3:30 ET. In all 18 American men and women posted initial time trial runs fast enough to put them in the top half of their gender group to move into Saturday's main event. Three American men and three women also scored initial times in the top 16, qualifying them for a second run; termed the Time Trial Superfinal.
On his first try of the 2012 Olympic course, Fields posted the top time amongst the vast 126-man field on the initial run at 43.404. Going at it a bit differently in the Time Trial Superfinal, the 19 year-old cruised to a sixth place finish with a 44.013.
