USA BMX is a world-class organization who holds itself to the highest standard in BMX racing; from enforcing the rules of racing to membership services. With that said, I want to apologize to every BMX race fan who had to witness the pro walk-off this past weekend. This entire episode was a miscommunication on our behalf. When the announcement was made at the beginning of the year about the increased pro payout, it was, unfortunately, not explained correctly. The guaranteed increased year-end payout and the increased per-race payout was based on the UCI purses being lower at UCI events. With the significant expenses involved with running a UCI event, the mandatory minimum payout is what made the UCI

All of us at USA BMX would like to congratulate the following members for receiving approval for a BMX scholarship. This year, thanks to USA BMX participants in the Bob Warnicke Scholarship races, we were able to give out $31,000 in scholarships. Proceeds from Bob Warnicke races held at all the local tracks go towards this scholarship fund.

PLEASE JOIN US in congratulating the following 2013 Bob Warnicke

Well this was an interesting day to say the least!! There has been a lot of speculation as to why the Elite Men/Elite Women did not race today, but here is the cliff notes summary: The riders were not asking for MORE money, we were only asking for what we signed up for. USABMX made a big deal out of the enhanced payouts for the 2013 USA BMX pro series and the total purses were supposed to be dependent on rider counts at each national… but the payouts did not match what we signed up for.

Yesterday in Nashville 38 Elite Men/AA signed up, and according to USABMX's regular season pro purse that should have fallen into the "36 or More Riders = $10,000" category, but they have now said that because they had to pay a few UCI expenses that our payouts were less than $3,000... TOTAL PURSE, which wasn't even
