USA BMX Pro Series | 2021 Remastered

USA BMX are out with a comprehensive 2021 Pro Series schedule, consisting of 10 stops running from January until October and then presumably concluding at the Grands in Tulsa over the Thanksgiving weekend during November.

Interestingly, they have decided to make some changes … controversially (depending on your view point), ‘A Pro’ looks to be a thing of the past, you can now race ‘Pro’ at the tender age of 17 years (we think there should be exceptions for talented and ambitious 16 year olds) and what looks like the addition of more prize money, including more ways to win it. At first glance we think USA BMX have made some solid changes … bring on 2021!
