Hello!! 28-35 Expert and been racing 19 years now. No sponsor, just a privateer.

My name is Brenden O'Connor and I ride bikes for fun.

Began racing in 1983, and have only taken off 1.5 seasons since due to military obligations. In 1994 I began teaching clinics and am currently a USA BMX certified coach. I conduct clinics and summer camps in the Eastern United States. Owner and president of Bizzarro BMX Inc, under which I have run numerous National/Factory level teams capturing two NBL National titles (2010 & 2011) and one Disney Cup (2011).

FACTORY HAVOC 13 Expert @connormannionbmx

USA BMX Coaching Director. Doing our best to create programs that support the growth of local BMX Tracks like yours!

I started racing in 1977 and have been in the sport ever since. I rode for a few teams in the day, including System BMX, Rockville BMX, Hutch, Co Factory Torker, and a short time on Elf. My father ran a few Tracks in Maryland for 20 years. I worked a long side him and gain some know how on track building and maintance thought those years. I now have been working with USA BMX since 1994 as a Track Builder, Track Offical, Track Director and at the start a truck driver. I love my job and work for the best company ever!!! I am just living the dream!!

I started racing BMX in the mid 1970's in the St. Louis area. I continued to race through the 1980's and stopped racing once I began my career. I did return to racing in 2005, but have since retired. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Recreation and my Master's Degree in Sports Management; both from Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. I began my career in public parks and recreation and later moved on to campus recreation. From there I moved into athletics administration and eventually became a college athletic director. I left the sports world in 2007 for a short time before going to work for USA Cycling. I was with USA Cycling for two years before joining the American Bicycle Association in 2009. I remained there through 2017 as the Chief Marketing Officer and Director of New Track Development. I operate Grand Valley BMX in Grand Junction, Colorado. My family and I have operated the track since 2006 and have been a Top 10 track since 2008. Additionally, I became a certified USA BMX Coach in 2014. I enjoy teaching kids of all ages and enjoy attracting new riders to the sport. I can attribute much of my success to the lessons I learned on a BMX track and enjoy giving others the same opportunity. I have worked with numerous athletes, was the manager for the Team USA World's Team in Medellin, Colombia in 2015 and am also an Elite National BMX Commissaire. I believe in the fundamentals of sport and believe that to be successful in any sport you must have a strong fundamental base. While training and fundamentals are a key to success, you also have to mix in a little fun. I enjoy the many aspects of coaching and working with kids and adults of all ages on improving their skills.

The name's Juan Hander - and if you've been racing since the 90's, you might know me. My buddy Noah - a former Pro champion, and I used to have our own monthly feature in American BMXer magazine (which later became the BMXer). Yup ... we had some crazy times back then. After fading from the spotlight during the 00's, me 'n Noah are still at it - racing locals and the occasional State race. In fact, I recently went thru the USA BMX Coaching Certification and am now a Licensed USA BMX Coach. I've got the card to prove it! So .. if you really suck at racing, like I once did, and want to get better - be sure to look me up.

My wife and I are the Track Operators at Peninsula Indoor BMX in Port Orchard, WA! We love BMX and all manner of things dealing with bicycles! I race in the 41-45 Intermediate class, and my immediate goal is to obtain 9 more wins before I turn 46 so I can race in the 46-50 Expert class next season!
