Justin and I went to Brazil to visit our friend Renato Rezende. Justin and I love discovering new places and we love to ride our bike, so we couldn't have a better Travel Guide than Renato! This is part 3 of the trip: unfortunately, the trip is almost coming to an end. One last ride on Renato’s hometrack, Poços de Caldas and the pumptrack in Sao Paulo, before we headed back to Rio to start the trip back home.

In June 2017, the IOC announced that BMX Freestyle Park would be added to the Programme of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
BMX Freestyle Park is an exhilarating discipline of cycling which takes place in parks full of ramps with big transitions and large obstacles. Competitors are judged (scored between 0-100pts over two one-minute runs) on tricks performed throughout the course, with points awarded based on difficulty, originality, style and execution.
Australia boasts two of the world's best, both considered to be serious medal contenders in Tokyo 2020. Logan Martin, the 2016 UCI World Cup Series champion who sits fourth in 2017 after winning Stop 1 in the Series, and Brandon Loupos who is second overall in 2017 after taking out Stop 2.
