Here is a quick glimpse into the Free Agent crews last couple of races leading into the ABA Grands. The Golden State Nationals in Lancaster, California and the Disney Cup in Kissimmee, Florida.
One of the things that has not transitioned at all into BMX racing yet is Web videos, which have taken the rest of the BMX community by storm. How could you possibly make it keep someone's attention for more than one lap? Personally, I would be wrapping my head around it trying to figure out how to present it in an exciting way that will keep you in it. However, the guys over at Free Agent are a bit more creative and have figured out the formula to make it both interesting and entertaining. Granted, I am sure having some of the best riders in the world on their roster, who are consistently out front helped keep the energy up.
Something that the majority of people in BMX have never seen, nor experienced. The pure force, speed, bike control and amount of pedaling that goes down; these are some impressive Olympic Athletes. And who could forget the falls that sometimes go with it. Well, thanks to Free Agent, here is a quick look into BMX Racing.
