In 2012, Mariana Pajon became only the second Gold medalist from her home country. With her win at the London Olympics, she was instantly boosted in to an instant sports celebrity in Colombia. Mariana followed up her Olympic Gold in 2013 with an incredible last-minute charge to take over the points-lead in Pro Women, coming in to The Grands. In Tulsa, she fought hard with Redline’s Alise Post in all three mains, and came out on top - winning her first USA BMX National No.1 Championship. No.1 Woman Pro and Gold medalist ... there isn’t much that Mariana can’t do and hasn’t won.

My name is Sarah Walker, I’m from New Zealand and I love & live BMX. I started rac­ing at the age of 10, (begin­ning of 1999) for some fun and so I wouldn’t be bored watch­ing my brother any­more. Since then I have been to more than 20 coun­tries and lived out of a suit­case for a lot of the last eight years, all with my bike beside me. In 2006, I decided to chase my dream, to be the fastest girl on a 20″ bike in the world, and to be New Zealand’s 1st BMX Olympian. After miss­ing out on a medal at Bei­jing, I came back to win a Sil­ver Medal in Lon­don! My goal is to now win Gold at the next Olympics in Rio, 2016. The Sil­ver Medal in Lon­don is the high­light of my career so far edg­ing out dual World Cham­pion in Ade­laide, 2009.

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.
