I went to Baku, Azerbaijan to do some training on the track for the 2018 UCI BMX World Championships. Thanks to Renato and the Brazilian team for letting Judy and me join their sessions.
Each year the best in BMX racing all converge into one location to deem who is the best of the best at the UCI BMX World Championships. The most prestigious BMX race that is held each year, other than the Olympics, offers an opportunity for one Elite rider in 4 classes, Elite and Jr Men / Woman to take home the rainbow jerseys, to show the grand accomplishment for the next season as being a UCI BMX World Champion. This season, the best riders in the world all got together in Baku, Azerbaijan to compete for the Championship stripes and glory. The track in Baku is no stranger to high level competition, as in 2015, it hosted the European Games, where, Joris Daudet was the champion of the day. Now with the entire BMX World in attendance, could he do it once again?
After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
