The USA continues to be one of the largest pools of talent in the BMX Race world with
an ever-increasing number of young, talented riders emerging each year. However, it
has been difficult at times for these athletes to make the transition from competing
domestically to successfully competing on an international level. In 2023, ODI and
Connor Fields teamed up to do their part in helping to bridge this gap by assembling the
first-ever CFP program with the goal of assisting the most promising young BMX
athletes in their goal to make it to the next level by offering support as they compete in
the UCI events. In addition to the direct Cash for Podiums, the riders had an open line
of communication to Connor to ask any questions they had about the transition from
amateur to professional. We are proud to report that the first 2 years of the program
have been a resounding success. ODI Grips and Connor are going to continue the
program into 2025 and invite you to apply!
