Mark Losey on BMXComps.com

January 7, 2015

The other day Mark Losey announced a new project that he has been working on called BMX Comps, which takes a closer look at professional riders rankings based on the contests they attend and how well they do. In a sport like BMX that doesn’t really have set “rules” and a lot of perspective that is based off the opinion of ones views on a riders style or bag of tricks they can unleash on a course, along with so many different styles of contests and how they are judged, it can be hard to see just where a rider stands. Mark sat down and took a look at all these different events happening around the world and found some common ground that allowed him to calculate 100+ of the top contest riders from around the world score to see just where they ranked. We were really curious about this system, so we caught up with him to talk a little bit about how he did it and just what BMX Comps is all about! Let’s see what he had to say!

Mark Losey Launches BMXComps.com

January 5, 2015

This is pretty rad. Mark Losey has been working on a new website called BMX Comps that takes a closer look at all of the major BMX contests of the year, compiles data and ultimately gives a better idea of which riders are really on it as far as contests go. Check out more below and then check out the site!

“Two years ago I put all of the different contest results I could find into a single spreadsheet. Seeing them all together seemed like they could be combined—somehow,” Losey said.

After getting suggestions and criticism from various organizers and riders, Losey settled on a system. “Each event’s points are determined by how many top pros were in the finals at that event. It’s not based on prize money, course, or anything else. This method allows every Pro event to count. It also encourages riders to compete in more contests.”

One thing Losey clarified is that this is not an official rank. “This system is highly subjective, as not every rider had a chance to compete in every event. It’s basically an organized snapshot of what happened in BMX contests over the past year.”

Losey added, “This has the potential to present riders with one less ambiguous way to qualify for events. If contest organizers were able to invite the top three, five, or ten from this ranking, they could still have enough room in their events to invite past winners, up-and-comers, sponsor obligations, etc.”
