In this episode of BASIC, we take a high-level look at Pro BMX racing straight from the USA BMX rulebook. We cover what it means to race Pro, including expectations around sportsmanship, conduct, and being a role model, as well as a simple breakdown of Pro, Junior, Vet Pro, and eligibility by age. This is meant to help riders and parents “look behind the curtain” and understand what racing at the Pro level actually involves—even if that goal feels far off right now.
We also shift into practical off-season guidance as the holidays approach. I share simple, realistic ways to stay active without overcomplicating training: riding when you can, basic bodyweight movements like push-ups, planks, squats, and lunges, and maintaining a healthy balance with food and rest. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s consistency, staying healthy, and building a foundation so you’re ready when the season ramps back up.
