Did 2021 turn out the way you wanted?
Cameron Wood: “Yes and no. 2021 was my first full race season as a pro, so I did a lot of growing. I met a lot of goals and also failed to reach others. Aside from results, I made sure I learned something and took something away from every race that helped me improve. I truly believe that a full year has helped me grow mentally and physically and I'll be a better racer for it moving forward.”
With the start of the new year, are you always looking to become a faster racer?
Cameron Wood: “Yes. At the highest level of sport you can expect everybody to have the same answer.”
Have you picked your races for 2022 yet?
Cameron Wood: “The USABMX circuit will be a priority again. As well as some UCI World Cups and the UCI World Championships. I would love to do some more international racing this year.”
What did you change on your bike for 2022?
Setting new goals for the new year is something most of us do. How can you better yourself? Is it possible to make that Elite main or podium? Is my training on point or is there someone out there who can teach me more? How's my diet? Should I switch to a carbon bike?

Read on what his plans are and how Josh prepared for the upcoming BMX races.

With travel restrictions and mandatory quarantines making international travel as easy as building a wheel with your hands tied behind your back... Mike Gray has been tucked away in Canada, quietly shredding roofs, ledges, banks and rails with the Toronto homies, stacking clips for his latest project.

2021 Olympic Champion and 2021 UCI BMX Racing Elite World Champion. Anyone who would have said that in January of 2021 would have been sent off to the clinic. But Bethany Shriever (GBR) did it and had the best year ever. But 2022 has arrived and it's back to racing. After several months of Olympic status celebration it was back to training hard. Beth fills you in on how she prepared for the new season. Sounds like she's ready.

New Team, new motivation. That's how it works sometimes. Ross Cullen has announced today that he will be riding for the TVE / JEE-O team, a professional team based out of The Netherlands and will be team mates with the Smulders sisters. Although everything on the new bike has changed except for a few parts, the feeling on the new ride is great. 2022 can become the breakthrough year for Ross in Elite. He's well prepared.
