Record-setting RACE of CHAMPIONS

Madt7275_mxw460_mxha_e0

The Race of Champions is an invitational. Not just anybody can race the
ROC, and have a shot at the red No.1 plate. You have to be Tops in your
State - having competed in your State Championship series.

A few years back, when its turnout began to hit the mid-500's, USA BMX
decided it was time to make the ROC a 2-day event. After this year's
record-shattering 801 motos; Thank Goodness they did! The final main
still went on late Friday night, pushing back the start time for Friday
night's Pro Championship Finals.

With such an awesome turnout, always comes epic racing. And without a
doubt, the best main of the 2021 ROC was 15x; starring the who's-who of
the 15 year old ranks - namely Redman ripper Ronnie Kim, BMX Shark'er
Cedric Cade and Blackcrown's Gavin Stazetski. With 58 riders, just
making it to the final-8 for the Big Show was quite a feat.
