Women’s Final
After two of the USA’s top female riders, Felicia Stancil (Lake Villa, Ill./GT Bicycles) and Brooke Crain (Visalia, Calif./Haro Bicycles) were eliminated in their semifinal rounds, two American women made it to the main event. Alise Post claimed the bronze medal after finishing behind first- and second-place riders Mariana Pajon (COL) and Caroline Buchanan (AUS). Dani George (Palmdale, Calif.) was sixth for the USA.

USA BMX / BMX CANADA has just flipped on the switch for Phase 2 of our websites
Courtesy of USA BMX/BMX Canada
This latest version of USABMX.com & BMXcanada.org include two major features that will benefit all of our members.  |
| POINTS UPGRADE: The new Points program recently went live. Previously, a rider’s earned points were updated on the web once a week, but with the new system in place, points are now updated every night. This service enables every BMX racer in the North America to look up their most current standings.
CUSTOM RIDER PROFILES: The most exciting feature that has just been implemented after nearly two years in the making, are the individual rider profiles available for members. Each USA BMX and BMX Canada member can log-in and create their own profile page and link it up with their membership and race history to form their own custom BMX portal.
On these Profiles, you and your riders can add photos, list sponsors, write blogs, and follow all of your friends and heroes in BMX. Once a profile is created, it will link up with that rider’s points and racing history, which will automatically build up a virtual trophy room and display their earned number plates and ranking(s).
On the following pages, we give you a step-by-step instruction on how to set up your own Member Profile. Anybody – from track operators to parents, or fans, can build their own BMX Profile page. ( *Only members, though, will be able to create a Trophy Room and connect with their points and # plates.)

Stancil, Fields and Sharrah time trial onto the podium at Supercross World Cup in Argentina
Courtesy of USA Cycling
Santiago del Estero, Argentina (September 6. 2014) – The 2014 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup returned to action on Saturday with round five in Argentina after a nearly three-month hiatus.
It was a good day for Team USA as Felicia Stancil (Lake Villa, Ill./GT Bicycles), Connor Fields (Henderson, Nev./ Chase/Monster), and Corben Sharrah (Tucson, Ariz./Haro Bicycles) time trialed onto the podium in the Time Trial Superfinals.
Fields, who won both the time trial and the supercross contest in Argentina last year, was the eleventh man out of the gate in the men’s event and he sat in the hot seat until the final rider, Liam Phillips (GBR), beat his time with a 31.686.
Fields said that the track in Santiago del Estero is his favorite on the World Cup circuit. “I think it’s the fact that it’s challenging but you can still go all out, as fast as you can for the entire lap,” he said from the hot seat right before Phillips took over his position.
With a time of 31.746, Fields secured the number-two spot just ahead of fellow American Corben Sharrah who placed third with a time of 31.894. Jared Garcia (Victorville, Calif./Supercross BMX) was sixth for the USA while Barry Nobles (Sun City, Calif.) was ninth.
In the women’s event, Stancil earned the third step on the podium with a time of 35.272 while Mariana Pajon (COL) was the fastest in 34.394 and Caroline Buchanan (AUS) was second in 24.888. Brooke Crain (Visalia, Calif./Haro Bicycles) was sixth for the United States, completing her race against the clock in a time of 35.807.
World Cup competition will continue on Sunday with the Supercross events. In the women’s competition, Stancil and Crain will be joined by Alise Post (St. Cloud, Minn./Redline) and Dani George (Palmdale, Calif.). Fields, Sharrah, Garcia, and Nobles will line up for the men’s rounds, along with Sean Gaian (Santee, Calif./GT Bicycles), David Herman (Wheat Ridge, Colo./Free Agent Bicycles), Nicholas Koehler (Tustin, Calif.), Nicholas Long (Lakeside, Calif.), Jacob Peebles (Chico, Calif.), and Justin Posey (Winston-Salem, N.C./Dan’s Comp).

Team USA earns three silver medals as BMX Worlds conclude with Supercross finals
Courtesy of USA Cycling
Rotterdam, Netherlands (July 27, 2014) – Team USA Cycling collected three more silver medals as the 2014 UCI BMX World Championships concluded on Sunday with the Supercross finals.
Shealen Reno (Plano, Texas/Hyper Bicycles) and Sean Gaian (Santee, Calif./GT Bicycles) placed second in the junior races while Alise Post (St. Cloud, Minn./Redline) raced to silver in the elite women’s contest.
After five days of competing in Rotterdam, Team USA tallied 21 medals in the challenge class, cruiser class, elite and junior competitions.
“I’m unbelievably proud of all of our athletes,” said USA Cycling’s National BMX Coach James Herrera. “We had a great medal tally at the world championships this year and I’m super proud to see our junior riders and challenge class riders that are coming up through the ranks. We’ve got an incredibly bright future.”
JUNIOR WOMEN
Reno’s silver medal in the Junior Women’s Supercross came in addition to the bronze medal she earned in Saturday’s Time Trial Superfinal.
In Sunday’s main event, the lone American finished second to winner Domenica Michelle Azuero Gonzalez (ECU) who created a substantial gap on the other seven ladies right out of the gate.
“I’m just super excited to be here in Rotterdam and am very happy with my podium in both the time trial and the race,” Reno commented afterwards. “I’m really excited to turn elite next year and see what I have.”
JUNIOR MEN
Gaian, the defending world champ in the junior men’s contest, had a rough lead-up to this year’s world championships as it was only four weeks ago that he suffered a broken wrist in the Berlin World Cup.
It didn’t stop him from a top performance however. The California rider placed second in his semifinal to get into the main event where he powered his way to the silver medal.
“It wasn’t an ideal situation,” the silver medalist said of his pre-Worlds injury and surgery. “But I’m just happy to get on the podium and represent USA Cycling and have a good finish overall.”
The event was won by Niek Kimmann (NED) and the bronze medal went to Romain Racine. American Walker Finch (Fort Collins, Colo./ Haro/Promax) also advanced to the main event and placed seventh.
ELITE WOMEN
Post, who has spent most of the last few months recovering from an early-season knee injury, announced her comeback loud and clear on Sunday as she powered to the silver medal in the elite women’s main.
After winning her quarterfinal and semifinal, Post lined up next to the world’s best and finished a close second behind winner Mariana Pajon (COL) while Laura Smulders (NED) took the bronze.
“Today was a success and it feels almost like a win after having such a short preparation and then coming in second to a gold medalist,” Post said afterwards. “I’m excited to see what a positive attitude and knowing where I stand in the class can go in the future.”
Post was joined in the main event by fellow Team USA members Dani George (Palmdale, Calif.) and
Brooke Crain (Visalia, Calif./Haro Bicycles) who placed sixth and seventh respectively.
ELITE MEN
American Connor Fields (Henderson, Nev./Chase/Monster) won his quarterfinal and semifinal to make it to the elite men’s main.
Out of the gate in the final, he took the lead but was taken out by eventual winner Sam Willoughby (AUS) in a tight turn. The ensuing multi-rider crash mixed up the order and Tory Nyhaug (CAN) followed Willoughby over the line for second while Tre Whyte (GBR) took third.
Team USA member David Herman (Wheat Ridge, Colo./Free Agent Bicycles) placed fifth in the event while Fields crossed the line in seventh.
With the conclusion of Sunday’s Supercross finals, the 2014 UCI BMX World Championships are officially in the books!
“I’m extremely happy with the performance of the team in Rotterdam. We had a pretty comprehensive team here and had a lot of riders that made it far through the competition. All the way up to the semifinals, we were well ahead of last year.” commented USA Cycling Director of BMX Programs, Jamie Staff. “No golds, but our medal tally was up there. It’s definitely something to build on. We learned a lot of lessons this year leading up to worlds and we’re looking forward to the months ahead and getting the team on form for what will be the run-up to the Olympics.”
