Round three of the 2014 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup took place at the Mellowpark in Berlin, Germany. It was the first time the Mellowpark crew had a World Cup on their premises. After two successful Red Bull R.Evolution events it was now time for an official UCI event. You could see the weird looks on the faces of the riders, trainers and officials who had never been to the Mellowpark. It wasn't all smooth, it wasn't clean-cut, it wasn't run by parents, but for sure it was different. Coming from a freestyle side you're used to this vibe. The graffiti on the wall doesn't mean you're in the ghetto. A security with a face tattoo isn't going to rip your arm off. The Mellowpark crew have proved to be a reliable group of hard working people who have organised many (freestyle) events in the past.With no financial support from the city it was a goal for the Mellowpark crew to have a BMX track at their facility. The R.Evolution track stayed in Berlin and was adjusted in several ways to host a 2014 SX World Cup event. The space for bleachers was used up for a separate first straight that had been added so everyone
Round 3 of the BMX Supercross World Cup series saw the progression of BMX to a new level. Weather viewed good or bad, the track was challenging to race and allowed no room for error and I believe really showed the true all round best riders who can ride their bike well. To be good on this Berlin track which was remodeled by Elite Trax after the Red Bull R.Evolution mens event last year had many new elements especially for the women.Hip jumps, cross over jumps, brick jumps, wood lips & transitions, steep dirt jump style transitions and a variety of shaped corners. Coming off the back of 2 wins for myself in the European National League events I was feeling very comfortable on my bike. In the lead up to this world cup the Australian High Performance team got some crucial extra time on the track. Where I was able to test the full limits of the track away from the event and find out what passing maneuvers would be possible.

Reached the final at the European Leaque in Holland, a semi final at the 3-Nations Cup and the semi final in Berlin during the UCI World Cup… We’ve had a couple of races the last 3 weeks. The first one was round 7&8 of the Europen Leaque in Klazienaveen, Holland. I never raced that track before, just practice a couple of times. It’s a small track compared to the one we have at Papendal, so it’s a different way of riding your bike…Coming in to this race 3 weeks ago I caught a cold. Couldn’t really train the 1,5 week before and the medicines made my body feel weak. Because the new Olympic ranking started counting again at Klazienveen it was no option to stay home. I really did the best I can, but after the first lap I felt exhausted because my body was weak. Anyway, making the final on Saturday was a surprise to me. I didn’t do great in the final, because I was so damn tired, but I took some important point for the Olympic ranking. When I woke up on Sunday I didn’t feel too bad until I went outside for a small ride on my bike. My body felt even more exhausted. Racing didn’t go as planned, but there was a reason for that. No final this time.
