PLEASE SHARE AND SUBSCRIBE! Today I went to the Olympic Training Center to meet with Anthony Dean on his last training before heading to the World Championships. He shared his approach on how the Worlds can be undulating from lap to lap and how to stay consistent. Anthony shared his cleat position for optimal power in his pedal stroke as well as what it's like getting coached by Sam Willoughby.

Chase Bicycles has established a tradition of making complete bikes and frames to help riders all over the world win races. For 2019, we were able to up the ante on the Chase Element Complete bikes! While function is more important that fashion, the first thing you will notice about the 2019 Chase Element is the new Neon Graphics on the Brilliant Black Element frame.
The Element Frame features our exclusive Aero Pivotal seat post / Aero clamping system, Hydroformed Premium Speedlite Alloy, with Chase BIO-FIT geometry. Custom Graphics also grace the Answer Dagger Carbon Fork and the Sun Ringlé Envy rims. The Matching Elevn PC seat, Excess LSP Cranks, and Chase Bars with matching Graphics makes the bike look as factory as Joris and Connor's bikes! Next we made the bike literally faster, by adding the Tioga FASTR X tires. We didn’t stop there on the wheels either, as we upgraded the Rear cassette hub, that offers 72 points of quick engagement and now has less drag. Other standout features include Shimano Brakes, Insight 4 Bolt Chainring, C.O.G.S. grips, Chain tensioners, and a KMC Chain.
We are excited to share with you the 2019 Chase BMX Element Complete bikes! While function is more important that fashion, the first thing you will notice about the 2019 Chase Element bike is the new Flow Graphics on the Brilliant Black Element frame that features our exclusive Aero Pivotal seat post and Aero clamping system, Hydroformed Premium Speedlite Alloy, with the Chase BIO-FIT geometry.

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?
