Connor Fields, the hero of a generation. The man to love and the man to beat says Farewell.
In an eye watering, goosebump inducing video, the 3x USA BMX Champ, 5x National Champ, and 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist says a farewell and see you around to BMX Racing.
"After much thought and consideration, it is time to officially announce my retirement from professional BMX racing. I'll still be around BMX racing, just not in the gate. It’s hard to put into words what the last 23 years have meant so we put together this video. Thank you BMX."
