Today the KNWU announces its latest addition to the technical staff: former professional rider Theo Bos will become the new national coach of the BMX Racing selection as of January 1, 2025.

Coming into the show with three contenders, the lone top dog, Cam Wood, gets redemption against the Gold Medalist and his fellow Frenchman at the Friday Night Pro Spectaular.
The weekend didn’t start as planned, crashing in my quarter at ROC, but my main goal was making the A-Main at Grands. After a hard-fought night, I made it into the night show and battled my way to a 5th-place finish overall after three mains, wrapping up the season as National #2 Pro!
4-Time Olympian and 3-Time World Champion Alise Willoughby Wins her 12th National Pro Title
Participating in her 27th USA BMX Grand Nationals held every year over Thanksgiving, Willoughby won her 12th National Pro Title on Friday evening with her husband and coach, Sam Willoughby, beside her. Winning her first Pro Title in 2006 when she was 15, and now at 33 years old, Willoughby is the winningest BMX Racer in USA BMX history and the youngest and oldest win pro titles.
"Every year presents its opportunities and challenges, so each title and season has its chapter in my mind," Willoughby said about this year's title. "The 2024 USA BMX series title means a lot to me to achieve while wearing the world champion's jersey again; it's just the perfect way to cap off what's been a pretty successful season overall and end it on a high note. I've worked hard over the years to continuously elevate my racing to stay consistent in our 'young person's game,' so it's gratifying to use all those tools and experiences to meet the occasion and stay consistent over the course of my career. From being the youngest to now being the oldest professional woman to win the USA BMX Series Championship, I love challenging the status quo. I am thankful for all 12 of my USA BMX women's pro championship titles and the lessons each season has taught me along the way. Excited to see what we can do next year!"
