HOUSTON – Two twelve-year-old BMX racers know a thing or two about speed and are proving just how talented they are on the track as they head to the World Championships in France. LJ Harashe and CJ Rivera are close friends that met on the tracks and have been practicing at Rockstar Energy Bike Park in Greenspoint perfecting their skills. The boys have advanced to participation in regional BMX biking events and most recently, traveled to South Carolina to a National Qualifier event where they were placed on the US BMX Team.
In July, they will speed off to compete in the World Championship in Nantes, France representing the US. This US BMX group is the road to the Olympics where they can also get the opportunity to impress representatives and be considered for the Olympic team. You can find links to both racer’s GoFund me accounts if you would like to support them in their efforts to winning the championships in France.
