Alise Willoughby (Post) (Chula Vista, Calif.; Promax/GW/Klean/Troy Lee Designs) powered her way to another World Championship title today at the 2019 BMX Racing World Championships in Belgium. Willoughby, who won the rainbow jersey in 2017 as well, qualified for the finals after racing three qualifying motos. Teammate and current National Champion Felicia Stancil (Indianapolis Ind.; Supercross) also joined Willoughby in the finals. “Coming into this I was down in the dumps at the start of the day, I started my day on the ground. You know coming into this I knew it was going to be tough with all the Europeans who have been here every week for the past year and in the rain. None of it was in my favor,” said Willoughby, “I’m really happy I rose to the challenge and I can’t believe here we are.”

"A few of the United boys stayed in Bristol UK for a week after NASS. We got pretty lucky with the weather, apart from one day of straight rain, so instead of sitting in going sight seeing we decided tho hit the M32 spot, hand made by the Bristol skaters under a motorway - the perfect escape from the rain. We had the idea to maybe get a couple of clips on the VX to make a little edit and it soon escalated into everyone doing mind blowing lines. So here it is, one day at the M32 spot with Ben Gordon, Kris Bunnage, Harry Mills-Wakley , Fernando Laczko and Miki Fleck. Enjoy!" - Emerson
FUCK. YES. Animal's James Pease is a damn rail addict and this new double song edit couldn't fit anymore grinds in. Less is more with this guy and the X-ride fans will be all over this like a rash. So good we watched it twice!
