After months of planning, the guys in Gilbert have come forth with the 411 on what will be an amazing week for BMX, come September. Not only will we get our once-a-year UCI BMX Supercross fix in Chula Vista the weekend of September 18-20, but ABA is bringing a fresh amateur national format to run in conjunction with the SX. The U.S. Open Amateur National will run the normal ABA national format, minus the pros, and race on a soon-to-be-constructed permanent ABA track on the US Olympic Training Center property. “Permanent” as in local races and the whole shot.

ABA CEO BA Anderson said “This is a very exciting event for the ABA, and the entire BMX industry to be involved with. Holding an Amateur event in conjunction with the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup will only fuel the Olympic dreams of US amateur riders, which will help ensure the continued success of future US BMX Olympians.”
