After 17 years driving the Factory Redline rig to races across the US, Team Manager, Jason Carnes is ready to show you the time of your life, touring the USA, seeing all the sights, riding hot spots only insiders know about, and hitting key USA BMX national events along the way.  Jason Carnes Berm Academy offers tours from one to six weeks in length, throughout the 2017 season.  “The Ultimate Summer Tour” is one of the early favorites, and includes the UCI BMX Worlds in Rock Hill, SC and an incredible coast to coast tour of the USA (hitting the Worlds, plus three USA BMX nationals).

You'll ride like royalty and pit like a pro, all under the guidance of a racer and factory team manager with over one million miles of tour experience under his belt— Jason Carnes!

Here’s what Sam Willoughby says about touring with Jason:

"I have had the privilege of staying and traveling with Jason Carnes for the past seven years. Jason is the most caring guy I know! His specialty is traveling the country and stopping at every BMX fun spot along the way. Jason has been doing this for longer than most of us have been alive and is therefore very diligent when it comes to organization and safety. You will laugh more than ever and learn more than you would believe. I cant wait to jump on board the Berm Academy bus soon."

Name: Luis Brethauer
Number in Rio: 572
Country: Germany
Result: 15th

When was the point for you that you thought you had a good chance of going to the 2016Olympics in Rio?
Luis Brethauer: Pretty much directly after the London Olympics I set myself the goal to qualify for Rio. But because of the injuries I had in the qualification years, sometimes I wasn’t really sure about my chances to actually represent Germany another time. But through the end of 2015 it started to look pretty good that I’ll get the one spot through the individual ranking.

Name: Alfredo Campo
Number in Rio: 593
Country: Ecuador
Result: Last

When was the point for you that you thought you had a good chance of going to the 2016 Olympics in Rio?
Alfredo Campo: It was always a dream of mine! Midway 2015 after Pan-Am games I tought I had a good shot of making it!

Can you explain what kind of sacrifices you have to make as a professional BMX racer to be on top of your game all the time?
Alfredo Campo: Leaving home being 16 years old was for sure one of the hardest things, but I love challenges that's why bmx has been so unique for me, not having a solid national team and having to do things by my own like making a financial plan is also a tough piece of the puzzle

How important has your coach been on your road to Rio?
Alfredo Campo: Main key, a mentor, a journey I will never forget alongside Anders Grounsund

Name: Niek Kimmann
Country: The Netherlands
Number in Rio: 313
Result: 7th

How did Rio turn out for you as an Olympic rookie looking back at the race now?
Niek Kimmann: The level of the top guys in BMX is so high that I knew I could easily go out in the semi with some bad luck, or maybe even medal if everything fell in the right place.

Name: Kyle Dodd
Number in Rio: 216
Country: South Africa
Result: If I'm not mistaken I finished 18th

"The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win, but to take part; the important thing in Life is not triumph, but the struggle; the essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well."
