When you end the season on a high note, it's easier to go into the winter training program to get ready for the next year. United States' Kamren Larsen has made the national team multiple times at the big international races and plans on getting picked again in 2022. His goals are to progress as a racer and to do everything possible to get get out of that 80% group of fast riders to make mains and podiums. We checked in with Kamren and here's his plan.

Did 2021 turn out the way you wanted?
Cameron Wood: “Yes and no. 2021 was my first full race season as a pro, so I did a lot of growing. I met a lot of goals and also failed to reach others. Aside from results, I made sure I learned something and took something away from every race that helped me improve. I truly believe that a full year has helped me grow mentally and physically and I'll be a better racer for it moving forward.”
With the start of the new year, are you always looking to become a faster racer?
Cameron Wood: “Yes. At the highest level of sport you can expect everybody to have the same answer.”
Have you picked your races for 2022 yet?
Cameron Wood: “The USABMX circuit will be a priority again. As well as some UCI World Cups and the UCI World Championships. I would love to do some more international racing this year.”
