USA BMX Freestyle Launches 2020 BMX Park Am Series with 12 Regional Qualifiers and 1 National Championship
USA BMX - the largest BMX racing organization in North America - announced today the debut of the USA BMX Freestyle Amateur Series that will launch a virtual, BMX amateur series, to host a live national championship in December. Today through October 3, 2020, amateur riders from 12 regions will be invited to submit a 45-second video through USA BMX Freestyle Instagram using any indoor or outdoor park of their preference for their run. Classes for male and female riders will include: 10 and under Sport Class, 11-14 Sport Class, 15 and over Sport Class, Masters (40+ Amateur), Expert (Open). Pending the regression of the ongoing pandemic, and based on regional qualifiers virtually, the top three riders in all classes from each region would advance to the National Championships either virtually or a live competition, to be held in December, depending on several factors.
When Charlotte Worthington first made it on the BMX scene she was refered to as that scooter girl. That changed quickly because she made quick steps on the BMX bike and got picked up by TallOrder because they saw the talent in her. Charlotte is now a member of Team Great Britain and rides for Hyper and has the Olympics on her mind. Under the guidance of Jamie Bestwick and riding with the British team members, Charlotte is making huge steps. The 2019 UEC European Champion answered some questions for us. It's obvious she wants this pandemic to be over TODAY so she can get back to riding Corby and travel the world because of BMX.

The Shred N Shed Pool Tire is tough and grips well on all surfaces—perfect for the rigors that Tate Roskelley puts a tire through. A unique feature of the Shred N Shed is the second colored layer which is slowly revealed from the wear of riding.
