National Championships and World Challenge Qualification SeriesColorado Springs, Colo. (December 8, 2006)â€â€ÂUSA Cycling announced today qualifying procedures for the 2007 UCI BMX World Challenge in Victoria, British Columbia July 23-29.
Competitors will have the opportunity to qualify through performance at the USA Cycling BMX National Championships and a six-race series of UCI-sanctioned events designated the World Challenge Qualification Series.
The UCI has allotted each country 16 start positions for each age class in each gender in both the 20†class and the 24†cruiser class. These start positions are in addition to slots earned by individual riders who had a top-eight finish at the 2006 UCI BMX World Challenge. UCI rules dictate that a top-eight finish in 2006 automatically qualifies that rider for the 2007 edition.
Scheduled for June 9-10 in Pontiac, Mich., the USA Cycling BMX National Championships will offer eight automatic bids per gender and age class in both the 20†class category and the 24†cruiser class category. The top-eight riders in each race will earn automatic nominations.
The World Challenge Qualification Series consists of two events in Boulder City, Nev. Feb. 24-25, Florida stops in Sarasota on Mar. 31 and Orlando Apr. 7, a date in Woodbridge, Va. Apr. 28 and the finale in Prunedale, Calif. May 19. A points system utilizing each rider’s top-three results will determine additional automatic qualifiers based on overall series rankings.
Riders eligible to compete for UCI BMX World Challenge titles must hold an international USA Cycling BMX license and be a U.S. citizen.

I really wouldn’t put much into the olympics, nascar isn’t in the olympics, baseball isn’t in the olympics, ditto for football, why do we need to keep up with other cultures and countries, This is America, we started BMX, so the rest of the world followed, and now we are at the mercy of an outside org for our sport!!!!! Lets make it huge here, and they can followI think if we made the sport here huge again, we could make the rules, and the rest would follow like in the old days

Bill my thoughts exactly. I was looking at old mags yesterday and the USA used to dominate at the worlds.
We still do. We won the team competitions last year.
Just think if qualification criteria was published well in advance, everyone was able to try and qualify without major cash layouts and if we had government backing like the other countries have.
Or at least monetary backing from USAC would be nice.
The way I see it, is I need to train my butt off for the US Championships in Michigan and make THAT main on either my cruiser or 20. The one thing in my favor is I would race cruiser in 40-44, not 35-39. I turn 40 in August. Not that 40-44 is slowing down its just not as stacked as 35-39 (based on my expereince at the 2006 Grands).
This is not my idea but..
from a marketing standpoint this is betterFriday night
“World Championship Qualifiers **-**-07”
