When Charlotte Worthington first made it on the BMX scene she was refered to as that scooter girl. That changed quickly because she made quick steps on the BMX bike and got picked up by TallOrder because they saw the talent in her. Charlotte is now a member of Team Great Britain and rides for Hyper and has the Olympics on her mind. Under the guidance of Jamie Bestwick and riding with the British team members, Charlotte is making huge steps. The 2019 UEC European Champion answered some questions for us. It's obvious she wants this pandemic to be over TODAY so she can get back to riding Corby and travel the world because of BMX.

Black frame with anthracite accents, black parts and a few parts that stand out like the oil-slick pedals. Any reason for the colour of the pedals?
