It might have been delayed by a year, but Tokyo 2020 was worth the wait for Swiss Freestyle BMX star Nikita Ducarroz who took a stunning bronze medal. She followed that up by taking the European Championship title in Moscow in November and now finishes the year with RASOULUTION, her new management. Signing with the Munich based sports marketing agency, which has a long history in managing cyclists, was a logical step for North Carolina based Nikita, who has followed the agency and its riders for some time.

About joining the agency, Nikita said: “I’m so stoked to join RASOULUTION for 2022 and beyond! I’ve been following them for many years so it’s very exciting that this amazing crew now has my back.

I can’t wait to see what we can achieve together.”

Born in Nice, France to a Swiss father and an American mother, Nikita grew up fluent in French and English while spending school months in Northern California and summers in Geneva. Scrolling through videos on YouTube, Nikita discovered BMX: “I’m not sure if I found BMX or BMX found me. Through some YouTube videos, as an anxiety-ridden 14 year old who couldn’t leave the house, I ended up finding my passion, and the thing that kept me going. From the moment I stepped on my BMX, I couldn’t stop. Everything from the challenge, the creativity, the freedom, to the family and community that came with this amazing sport. I haven’t been able to look back since.“

After spending days and nights at the skatepark, Nikita took the big step and started competing. Since then, the 25-year-old rider has finished three times in the UCI World Cup Overall podium. 2021 was a huge year for Nikita, taking the European championship win, following 2nd at the World Championships and the 3rd at the Tokyo Olympics.

RASOULUTION will support Nikita in the areas of management and communication. Sports Marketing Manager, Stefan Wyman, added: “BMX is a huge passion for many of us at the agency and the freestyle event at Tokyo was one of the most discussed events of the year. To welcome Nikita into the RASOULUTION family is a huge pleasure. The road to Paris in 2024 just became a lot more interesting for us and we couldn’t be happier.”
