Chase BMX Race Report - USA BMX North American SX Race - Oldsmar, Florida
Connor and Joris are on the podium both days once again,

with Connor winning on Saturday!

The 2015 USA BMX Pro series is winding down, as the series recently moved to Oldsmar, Florida.

This would be huge weekend for the BMX Pros, as this was not only the last stop of the Pro Tour before the USA BMX Grand Nationals, but this would be one of the USA BMX North American SX events, where not only the newly rebuilt Oldsmar track would be huge, but the prize money would be giant and the chance to gain some more points towards the overall 2015 USA BMX Pro title would be priceless.

Joris and Connor currently sit 1 & 2 in the overall points, so if they want to put any separation between each other, or 3rd place in the points Sam Willoughby, they would need to do it this weekend.

 

The newly rebuilt Oldsmar BMX track had the riders excited to race on the newest Supercross track built in the USA and battle it out for the huge Pro prize purse.

 

On Friday night, Connor and Joris would race the opening day of the 2 day event for the final stop on the USA BMX pro tour, before the Grands weekend.

Arriving to the Oldsmar track, both riders were excited about the new facility and were looking forward to another great weekend of BMX racing and hoping to make their way onto the podium each day.

On Friday, they were both able to achieve that. Both riders made their way easily through the qualifiers and into the Friday night main event.

When the gate dropped, both had a good start, but were slightly edged out by Sylvan Andre, as he took the holeshot. Connor and Joris would battle it out, as Connor passed Joris on the 2nd straightway, and pulled up to Sylvan, but was unable to pass him for the win.

Connor would finish 2nd with Joris just behind in 3rd, for another great finish by the Chase BMX Pro team riders on the USA tour!

 

On Saturday, the guys once again rode strong all day. Once again they both made their way into the main event.

As the gate dropped on Saturday night, it was Sam Willoughby with the lead, with Joris and Connor all over him. Down the 2nd straightaway, Joris made the pass on Sam and they entered the 2nd turn and drifted slightly high.

This was just enough for Connor to try to make the move on the inside, and he was able to pass both riders, taking over the lead.

Joris would pressure Connor the rest of the lap, but Connor would hold off Joris and take the win! That makes 7 wins for both Connor and Joris this season, and making Chase the most dominate Pro team on the USA BMX tour in 2015!

What a great weekend for the Chase BMX Pro’s as they now go into the Grands, with both looking at winning their first USA BMX #1 Pro title.

It will all come down to the Saturday night Pro main event at the Grands, and we are so excited to see both of the Chase BMX pros going for this great title!

 

The riders now have a little over a month to prepare for the USA BMX Grand Nationals, where both Joris and Connor will be up for the USA BMX #1 Pro title.

Sam Willoughby will be the rider that wants to upset both of them for the overall title, so it will be an exciting weekend of BMX racing, come Thanksgiving time in Tulsa!

Sidi Stands up for Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is something that invades many peoples lives at some time or another. October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Ciclista America thought we should participate. That said, we think that most of us are very "aware" of breast cancer, so Ciclista America's direction, and contribution, will focus more on supporting a cure.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) is our Federal government's agency that helps coordinate the training that physicians receive to learn new techniques and treatments and more significantly conducts research towards a cure. It also plays a role in identifying fraudulent research organizations. The NCI already have their basic operating and administrative costs covered by an appropriation from Congress, therefore donations to the NCI are used entirely to fund additional research towards a cure.

Ciclista America's program will allow retailers to advertise and promote select models/colors of the Sidi's ladies shoe line at 10% off retail for the month of October only. Ciclista America will then donate 100% of our profits from the sale of these shoes in October to the NCI.

The Sidi models/colors that are a part of this program are:

Wire Air Women in white/flo pink. New for 2016 Retail price for October: $449.99

Genius Fit Women in white/flo pink. Retail price for October: $224.99

Drako Women in white/flo pink. New for 2016 Retail price for October: $449.
