After several years eight women competed at the Sister Session 23 BMX street jam. MC Andy Zeiss says that all the ladies were delivering hard, trying to find their lines with the mix of street and transition moves and tricks. “Bethany definitely made the biggest overall impression on us, that’s what the judges are always looking for – the biggest variety of tricks, how original both runs are, and how many tricks are repeated. Bethany didn’t fall or slip, she was very committed, she did the 360 fakie out of the quarter pipe – that was very unique,” says Zeiss.
Women’s BMX final results:
1) Bethany Hedrick (USA) 62.33

The past year has been a great one for us. From supporting the steady return of amazing events, the roll out of fun product and team rider projects, and the bumping of two members to the Pro ranks with surprises for both Mason Ritter and Julian Molina. The team news didn’t stop there, and we were fortunate enough to add both UK legend Tom Justice to the Pro squad and female rising star and the 2022 Bloom Rookie of the Year, Bethany Hedrick, to the GT BMX family. Before we kick start 23, take a moment to watch back over our 2022 highlights!
