and experiencing the sport on an international level,” said Buchanan. “I am excited to join forces with Jayco to encourage young females in my sport,” said Buchanan. “When I was younger I was lucky to go to a World Championships. I gained significant knowledge and the experience helped me to focus on BMX and continue my dreams.”
“BMX Australia supports Caroline in her efforts to give back into the community of BMX,” said Barry Knight, BMX Australia President. “We think this positive move to assist young female riders will develop the next group of female athletes on the podium.”
The lucky recipients will also receive a Sony Action Cam to document their journey.
