I've been racing bmx since I was 5. I started riding for Factory Rift-Tangent in 2014. I won my first National as a novice rider in 2011. I turned up to the girl class shortly after that. I finished Nag 10 in 2011 and Nag 9 in 2012. For 2013 I finished NAG 2, NAT #18. My first time ever going to the Grand Nationals was 2013 and I won 2013 ROC and the 2013 Grand Nationals. I won Nor-Cal State Champion for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. I finished 2nd for Redline Cup in 2012 and I won 1st Place for Redline Cup 2013. I've been points leader in my district for the last three years. I finished 2014 NAG 5/Nat #66 for 9 Girls and NAG 7 for 10 & Under Girl Cruiser I also love to ride and race mtn bikes and road bikes. I've raced eight triathlons and have six wins, one 2nd and one 4th. I also race cross country mtn bike races and currently I am the points leader in the 14 & Under Junior Girls for the 2015 Prairie City Race Series. This year I raced downhill and dual slalom at the 2015 Sea Otter Classic, I finished on the podium with a 3rd/Bronze medal in both events!! Let's not forget dirtbikes....I've raced in eight motocross races and finished 2nd twice. Last summer I tried downhill mtn biking and Loved it!!! This year my Dad is taking me to Whistler to go again!! I also love to scooter with my friends. I love tuning up my skills on the track with jumping and manualling. Train six days a week. Give me two wheels and I will try anything!! I even enjoy playing soccer.

At first, Brooke was completely against racing. Her parents only got her a bike so she wouldn’t feel left out when the family went to watch her brother race on their hometown BMX track in Tulare, Calif. Of course, she was only six at the time but, in a discipline where racers start as young as five, Brooke sized up the peer competition and told her parents that she wanted to try racing. Racing BMX in southern California is a bit like playing football in central Texas, the talent pool is deep and wide and the competition is fierce. The distinctions started piling up when Brooke was nine. She has consistently compiled top-3 titles in national age group rankings ever since. Her big break came in 2009 when, as a 16 year old, she scored two world titles and a national title. Brooke graduated from Mt. Whitney High School in 2011 and began to focus on BMX racing full time. While she has lived under her parents’ roof, she has benefited immensely from their sustained support. They have - according to Brooke - always pushed her to be at her very best. They have also pulled double duty as her coach, which sometimes isn’t easy when the going gets rough. As a teen, Brooke has learned that the price of racing at an elite level has cost her a bit of a social life but, rather than be adrift in the life of a normal teenager, she is a determined BMX racer and she credits her parents, in part, with being where she is today. Coming just a tad short on the UCi points scale, Brooke was chosen as the back-up rider for the 2012 U.S. Olympic team, and kept training and pushing her two friends and Olympic team members - Alise Post and Arielle Martin. With the Olympic games already started, and just days before they were all to leave for London, Arielle snapped a chain while practicing on the London-replica course, and suffered some serious injuries. Suddenly, Brooke was IN, and on her way to London to represent the United States. In one of the more memorable moments of the BMX event, Brooke flashed the palm of her glove to the TV cameras. Written there on the palm of her Deft family gloves was scribbled “AMV” - her tribute and salute to her OTC roommate, who was watching from a hospital bed back home in San Diego. Despite a gnarly crash in qualifying on the first day of the Olympics - a bail that was seen around the World, Crain went on to make the main event and placed 8th. When Brooke’s not training or riding her bike, she likes to hang out with a few of her close friends, play basketball, or relax at home with her family.
