Do you remember the first BMX event you went to this year and how did it go?
My 2017. The BMX girls had a killer year in 2017. Nikita Ducarroz is one of the more professional riders with a strong list of sponsors backing her up. Although Nikita lives in the USA and grew up there, she has chosen to represent Switzerland on her way to the qualifying process for the first Olympic Games that BMX Park is a part of. Read below what Nikita has to say about 2017.
Name: Nikita Ducarroz
Hometown: Glen Ellen, California
Sponsors: Mongoose, Joby, G-Form, Extreme, Black&Decker
Do you remember the first BMX event you went to this year and how did it go?
Nikita Ducarroz: First event was FISE Montpellier. It was my first big overseas event and actually the only stop this year where I stomped my run start to finish with the 540. There were so many amazing riders there that when I made podium, it was a huge accomplishment!
How many weekends/days were you away from home and at a BMX jam/contest or on tour?
Nikita Ducarroz: It felt like I was never home this year between BMX and family trips, but it was only about 11 weekends out of the year that I was at BMX contests. About 80 days.
What was the best event you went to this year that gets your vote?
Live this weekend on FATBMX: BMX Indoor St. Etienne. 22nd edition straight out of France.

Critical beatdown. Filmed over 2017 with my iPhone. Music: Ultramagnetic mc’s, ease back.
Jeff Ludwig is raw as hell and his section in GT's "Seriously Fun" is a refreshing display of rough as grinds on metal pegs, 60/40 & 40/60 setups, and classic East Coast style street obstacle shralping. It's hard to put it into words but Jeff's riding has a feel to it, and you can't say that about just anyone.
