Just before turning nine this past May, Jemma secured an astonishing triple win at the Route 66 Classic Nationals in the high desert of Arizona, part of the USA BMX National Series, placing first in her class, 8 Expert Girls, all three days of competition. Very few riders can pull off that kind of consistency, especially at the national level competing against the best racers from all over the country. But, as her fans and her competitors know, for Jemma, consecutive first-place results are no surprise. Victory is the rule for Lil’ JT. Jemma has since graduated to the next age class and shows no signs of slowing down even as the competition gets fiercer, as evidenced by her #6 overall national ranking.

USABMX Freestyle decided it was time to organize a national championship for the non-Elite riders. As everyone knows and understands, putting on events during the pandemic isn't an easy task but the hunger for riders to get together and ride at a place called Woodward could not be stopped. Competitions were held in 5 classes and as expected it didn't take much for everyone to show their talent. As USABMX's Shannon Gillette put it: "All in all it was a great success and the the stoke was high with the riders and the families. We're currently working on locations and dates for a series in 2021." We've gathered some photos and the results for you.
