After last months hectic racing schedule it has been so nice to have some relax time in America. I love coming to the ABA BMX races in America. It is good to mix up the schedule a bit, get some different races in, catch up with friends and the atmosphere is always great. There was about 230 heats of racing and roughly 1000 riders entered. My 1st few laps on the track I was hating the uphill 1st straight sprint to the 1st jump. Although over the weekend I managed to block it out and my legs got used to it.

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) decided to grant the 2014 BMX World Championships to BMX Holland. The 2014 UCI BMX World Championships will be held on July 22-27 in Sportpaleis Ahoy, Rotterdam. “By granting this WC to the Netherlands another step is taken to professionalize this sport. The Dutch National Team has been ranked in top 10 positions for the last few years. Earlier UCI already assigned three BMX Supercross World Cups to the Netherlands, the story is completed by these 2014 World Championships. The goal is to make the most spectacular field in cycling more well known, therefore more popular and of a higher level”, says Huib Kloosterhuis, director of the Dutch National Federation KNWU.

The candidacy for the World Championships was made possible by a close cooperation of KNWU, Rotterdam city of sports and BMX Holland and was supported by the Ministry of Sports and by the Dutch Olympic Committee.
