While Australia has historically had a strong reputation in Olympic cycling, it would be fair to say the country was not previously a place where casual cyclists toured.

- In the men's BMX Flatland final at the 2023 UCI Cycling World Championships in Glasgow, Scotland, Frenchman Dandois claimed bronze with a score of 88 that put him behind the clear champion Yu Shoji (94.16) and his Japanese compatriot Hayakawa (91.16) in silver as Spanish BMX veteran Jorge 'Viki' Gómez finished back in eighth place at the age of 42.

- The X Games on home soil in Chiba in 2022 was the 21-year-old Hayakawa from Nagaoka City's coming out event globally and he stuck to the formula later in the year at FISE Montpellier to top the world again.

Vans BMX teammates Perris Benegas and Dennis Enarson may be separated by over 2,500 miles — the former calls Wilmington, NC, her home, while the latter resides in San Diego, CA — but the vast distance between their BMX-friendly hometowns belies their many similarities. This season, they’ve been brought together in an entirely new way: to create a unique collection of footwear and apparel that leads with Vans BMX Sk8-Hi and BMX Slip-On, accompanied by a brand-new BMX film, Integration, dedicated to the late Patrick Casey.

Perris and Dennis are singular talents on their bikes with a cornucopia of contest victories between them. For their new collection, Perris decided to take flight with the BMX Sk8-Hi™ in white and grey,

Here is all you need to know. - Aged just 11, Reilly landed a 720 over a spine then made his FISE debut in 2018 and has gone from strength-to-strength including a starring role in Drew Bezanson's Uncontained 2019-winning team.

- This time around at the 2023 World Championships event held at Glasgow Green, the 22-year-old - who grew up performing tricks at the Leam Lane skatepark in Gateshead - scored 86.36 on his first run.
