The boys came up to train at Hinterland BMX Club for some 2024 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup Preperations. Enjoy what 2 of the best in Australia have to say about training and see what they get up too on a daily basis.
The Olympic cycle starts all over again this year. It's only 3 years now till Paris 2024 and preparation has started already. Australia's Izaac Kennedy has Paris in mind, and he will be there this time. But that means dedication to the training program, eating healthy and running the correct bike with the best bike parts. Read on to see what Izaac has in store for us this year.
Name: Izaac Kennedy
Age: 21
Hometown: Gold Coast, Australia
Sponsors: Speedco, LUXBMX, Knobby, Vans
Did 2021 turn out the way you wanted?
Izaac Kennedy: Well no it didn’t go how I wanted it to with dealing with an injury and not being selected for the Olympics but overall, it was still a solid year. I made the final at the UCI World's, a few USABMX podiums, finished the year off with another National title and got to travel the world racing my bike so still a lot positives to take from it.
Boyd Hilder is a household name in the world of freestyle BMX but what some might not know is that Boyd used to race over a decade ago. We thought it would be a sick idea to put Izaac up against Boyd to see how the new age best racer in Austrlaia matches up against someone that hasn't raced in over 10 years!
