The in-depth conversations with the BMX riders going to the Olympics from Vital BMX continue! This time around Kyle Carlson sits down with Perris Benegas to talk about moving across the country, getting ready for the Olympics, coming out, future plans and more! As always, these interviews have been real good and kept shorter than podcast style interviews, so hit play and take it all in

Team USA Freestyle BMX team Olympics

After what has been over 2 or so years in the making thanks to COVID, the Team USA Olympic Freestyle BMX Team has been announced. Since the United States are the points leader going into Tokyo in both Mens and Womens standings, they get to send two riders. Based on their own internal points system, they’ve gone with Perris Benegas and Hannah Roberts for the Women’s team, and Justin Dowell and Nick Bruce for the Men’s team! If you have been following along these picks shouldn’t be a HUGE surprise, but the Men’s was going to be a toss up between a few riders. Expect to see all four of these riders holding it down for Team USA over in Tokyo this summer.

Woodward West Girls Week

With a little more free time due to the shut downs, it looks like Angie Marino got around to putting a video together from the Girls Week at Woodward West last summer. Hit play to check out what she got into, along with a handful of other familiar faces, from riding to skating, swimming and more. Hopefully, with things starting to open back up again, Woodward will be able to make this one happen again this summer. Either way, take a look at the good times that were had on and off the bikes.

“VLOG #2
