The International Cycling Union (UCI) has engaged BMX track builder Tom Ritzenthaler on a full-time basis in order to meet the increasing worldwide demand for new tracks. After several years of collaboration with the UCI, Mr Ritzenthaler, himself a former BMX athlete, officially joins the International Federation as the popularity of the young sport soars. Mr Ritzenthaler has been a BMX track builder for the past 20 years and has already been involved in most of the UCI BMX World Championships and UCI BMX Supercross World Cups since 2001.
With the full-time engagement of the American track-building specialist, the UCI will now, for a reasonable fee, offer a complete package to countries wishing to construct an international BMX track, rebuild an existing track, or create an Olympic replica track. These tracks will receive an official UCI certification. Requests have already come in from Fiji Islands, Estonia, Paraguay and Barbados.

Beijing Olympian, Jared Graves won his first BMX race since the Olympics today in the third Hog’s Breath Café National Round on the Gold Coast today. The 26 year old found the wet and muddy conditions tough but was determined to avoid a repeat of last night’s round which saw Adelaide’s Brian Kirkham steel the win in a photo finish. “In the run last night I slowed down a bit because I thought I had a bit of a gap,” Graves said about his second place in round two last night. However the professional cyclist knew what he had to do. “Today I just went flat out right from the line I wasn’t leaving any chances today,” Graves declared. “My legs felt better than yesterday.” Graves lead from the start and completed the four straights unchallenged to win his first BMX race since making the final in Beijing where he was unlucky to crash while in medal contention
