The National Bicycle League announced today that Erma Miller has been named Director of Planning and Innovations. The newly created position will develop and implement new programs and concepts aimed at improving the overall member experience and the sport itself. This R&D position will also fulfill a critical role of the strategic plan to identify and develop new trends in the sport that will be beneficial to the NBL.

CEO Gary Aragon commented: “Erma’s vast experience and expertise provide a valuable well of knowledge that the NBL can draw from to advance our goals and BMX. With a person dedicated to this critical effort, I am certain we will be able to not only be on the cutting edge of the sport, but to take a role in leading BMX into the future.”

Tangent Products has been a staple of the International BMX Racing scene for quite some time. In recent years with the addition of new products and continued quality standards, we now get constant requests for our products from every corner of the world. Because of this great demand world wide we are looking to expand distribution with established companies in other parts of the world.  

Any youth 18 and under whose family income is at or below the poverty level for their community, or who are in any State custodial care can access a membership in the NBL free of charge.

Riders can provide a copy of the previous year's tax return or a copy of the custodial care from their State Family and Children’s Services Department for eligibility in the program. Track directors and operators can contact the NBL for assistance with locating the poverty level information for their community.

This program will apply to both new and renewal applications.

NBL CEO Gary Aragon says, "The NBL is more than BMX racing — it's about families and their communities, and this program is in keeping with that focus. As a foster parent, I understand some of the challenges at-risk youth face, and access to sports is one challenge the NBL can help overcome."
