Have you ever thought about getting into racing? It's definitely not a bad idea if you already own a BMX. From racing, you'll learn to pump around the track and especially when you're a new rider, learning to control your bike. I find that riders who transition from racing to freestyle park, tend to have better flow and stability riding a course. But enough with my theories, let's learn from a professional. We have an Olympic and World Champion rider Caroline Buchanan, to show us the ropes on how to get started. I started racing BMX at the age of 5 and fell in love with bikes. I rode trails and skate parks a lot with friends and boyfriends growing up, this helped a lot with my bike skills and confidence for BMX racing. I discovered Mountain Bikes at the age of 15 and for the past 7 years I have been back and forward between BMX, Downhill, Four Cross and Dual Slalom Mountain Bike Racing at the top international level. I am a 3 time World Champion, won the 2012 BMX World Cup series, won the time trail at the
Derby City Nationals - Eastern Divisional Finals - PRO BMX RACE Series. Sunday Results.

Everybody was surprised about the results at the Worlds in NZ. I rode the most crazy track at the Red Bull Revolution in Berlin and did some other fun stuff… Everybody had their doubts about the Worlds Championship track in Auckland, New Zealand, because the surface of the arena was too small for a full BMX Supercross track The organisation did the best they can to make it work, unfortunately a lot of crashes happened in the Junior and Elite Men classes.

After doing a BMX 'zine for ten years (1987 - 1996) FATBMX made it on the internet. The year was 1998. Here to stay.
