Registration is now open for the fourth round of the 2011 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup which is scheduled September 30 - Oct. 1 in Chula Vista, Calif. Registration will close on Sept. 14 at 5 p.m. MT. The final of four races in the 2011 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series, the California event is also a part of the 2011-12 UCI BMX calendar. Set to take place on the campus of the U.S. Olympic Training Center, the Chula Vista

race is the final UCI World Cup event of the season following the cancellation of the Supercross World Cup scheduled to be in Sarasota, Fla., on Sept. 16-17.

The Chula Vista Supercross event is open to all elite and junior-level riders holding an USA Cycling BMX international license and riders must be born from 1994 or earlier to be eligible to enter the race. Additionally, competitors must hold a championship license.

The UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series offers significant international class 2 ranking points that affect an athlete’s individual international ranking, and contribute to a nation’s ranking, which is the primary factor in determining the number of start positions a country receives at the 2012 Olympic Games.

All championship class riders with an active USA Cycling BMX license can register now by logging on to their My USA Cycling account.

Registration costs $165 and is open until 5 p.m. MT on September 14.
