2024 BMX racing magazine doesn't come out every month. It comes out whenever there's enough content and money to print an issue. It's more of a passion for the publisher to make the best possible magazine and we're glad to see this cover show up with a March 2014 date on it. On the cover and inside with an interview of issue 12 is Liam Phillips, the first racer after Dale Holmes to win a World Championship title in the Elite Men class. Liam has been there and done that and he'll tell you all about it in the interview.

But of course there's more, like a Papendal World Cup SX report, the British 2013 Nationals BMX series, a lot of race bikes get inspected, tested and reviewed: rides from Identiti, Royalty, Ssquared, Pure and Cycle Craft. Also the Chula Vista World Cup gets a report in the mag, and loads more.

2024 is printed on the most glossy quality paper so make sure to buy yourself a copy at the races.

Round 4 of the BMX Australia National Series wrapped up today in Western Australia with the same riders from yesterday’s Round 3 backing up for the wins. The remarkable achievement was a first in this year’s series where there have now been 3 winners in the Elite Men’s class and 2 winners in each of the other classes. Racing was held over 3 races for the Elite Women with Buchanan all 3 today.

“I wanted to be more consistent today and not drop that first lap like I did yesterday,” Buchanan said. "During the third round it got a little bit tight between Melinda McLeod and I coming down the first straight; just managed to get the edge and she didn’t jump the big step coming into the first turn and I managed to come out in first.”

It was the same scenario for Bodi Turner where he stayed clear of trouble by staying ahead of the pack. “It was a good day again today, I had a lot of confidence coming into it from yesterday and 

With most BMX Racing Teams, race results & bike sales are usually the main goal of the program. The exception of this is with the Dale Holmes Racing (DHR) team, as they are thinking outside the box. Not only are they an Elite level BMX Race team, competing on the USA BMX National and UCI BMX International Tours, but they are taking BMX racing to the kids away from the track, by visiting schools in the San Diego Area and teaching bicycle safety, helping kids learn the benefits of a healthy, sport filled lifestyle, and introducing BMX to a lot of new kids.

Seeing members of the BMX family get hurt simply sucks. Crashes can't always be avoided, but you can prepare for the crash but wearing protection gear. The more you wear, the safer you'll be. The technology that goes into safety pads is incredible. Pads get more comfortable than before, they're lighter than they've ever been and they take more force than the pads used 25 years ago. Now it's up to you to invest in some pads, and not only that, you need to wear them. They won't work when you leave them on the shelf at home. If you
