DEVO WRAP: Young riders set for camp on Supercross Track in Chula Vista

BMX

The Supercross track is the style used in the Olympics.

USA Cycling is holding its second BMX Junior Development Program (JDP) Camp of the 2012 UCI BMX season, October 3-9, on the Supercross track at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif.

Forty-five young athletes (with racing ages of 15 or 16) qualified for an invitation to the camp based on their performances in six ABA races between August 5 and September 18. The purpose of USA Cycling’s JDP camps is to familiarize the next generation of BMX stars with the bigger, faster, and more demanding Supercross style of racing.

Athletes get a feel for the Supercross track at USA Cycling JDP camps.

While at camp, participants will test their BMX talent on the Supercross track, ABA track, and the new Skills Development Grounds. They’ll also have access to the USOC Sports Performance team.
