Every BMXer has their favorites, right?

And now is the time to vote for your favorite Pro, favorite Rookie Pro, favorite Bike and favorite Team from the Great #BMXboom of 2021. That's right! It's everyone's favorite time of the year - as "pulls" have opened for PULL Magazine's Golden Crank Awards - presented by Profile Racing. 

As always, the one class where we're never going to see a repeat winner, is ROOKIE PRO of the YEAR (since you're only a Rookie once in your Lifetime). And this year - for the first time ever, we've got more new Women Pro than Men. 

Eligible 2021 ROOKIE PROS
Ashley Hayes
Brook Craft

NOTE: To be an eligible Rookie - you must have turned Pro between Sept 1, 2020 and Sept 1, 2021. Juniors who still race in the Amateur classes are not considered a Rookie Pro. If you are an eligible Rookie Pro who is not listed above, it is not intentional. Please e-mail gork@usabmx.com with your USA BMX license # to verify eligibility and we will add you.


Of course, we've also got the three much sought-after Golden Crank Awards to hand out - for PRO, BIKE and TEAM. The popularity vote means a LOT to the winners, as this it the "Members-Choice." it doesn't matter how many points a Pro has accumulated or how many mains they've made. It's all about the BMX communities pick for the Pro, Bike and Team who gives the most to the Sport we all love.   

But if you plan on voting - you've better do it quick! Voting closes at midnight on Weds November 10th.
