Hi, I’m Marc Willers - AA-pro for Box Components and 2-time Olympian for New Zealand. I have been living in the United States since 2007, and earned the ABA No.1 Pro plate back in 2011.

I discovered BMX at the age 11 when a local racer asked if I wanted to help build a track in the field behind my house. I jumped at the chance and spent a lot of time riding back there that summer, but I didn't officially start racing for three more years. My first race was at Casino Beach in Lake Worth, TX, and I managed to come away with a big win in the 14 novice class that day.That was the summer of 1986. I turned Expert a few years later, and then turned pro in 1990. After three nationals and even a few wins, I joined the Army, where I proudly served four years shooting big guns as an artilleryman. In 1994, I resumed racing full-time and turned AA (Elite) in August of 1995. In 2002, I joined the Vet Pro ranks where I stayed for thirteen years. 2015 marked a new chapter in my career as I rejoined the amateur ranks in Expert and Cruiser. BMX has given me a life I could have only dreamed of! I've had the opportunity to experience many different cultures and have made life-long friends all over the globe. I hope to share my passion for riding and help racers of all ages pursue their goals and reach their full potential through the Berm Academy clinic program.

Been racing for the last 5 yrs., for the second time around ! Raced when I was younger back in the late 70's early 80's ! And by what a difference it is now, tracks are a lot more difficult now !! Remember when you could power slide into a turn and get back on the gas ! What were clip shoes, everybody was on flats in all skill levels !! Over the last couple years I have been racing more races each year, doing more state races, gold cups, and nationals ! I have also been too the Grands twice now ! For anyone that hasn't been, I would suggest going at least once ! It's a fun time and a lot of competition, shows where you stand when you race people from all over the county ! My home track in an old NBL track called Hire Park BMX in Warsaw Indiana ! The people there are so friendly and fun to race with ! The TO does an awesome job at announcing the races, that I think should be doing Nationals !

Goodbye All….

BMX racing is my life. I have over 35 years experience in the sport. From being both a top National caliber racer ( Many District #1's, NAG, and National Plates, and Gold Cup West Champion) and managing/officiating events on the district, state, regional, national, and World Cup levels. I have gained invaluable experience in the BMX racing world both on and off the track. I have also completed all the requirements to become an International Commissaire for (UCI) Union Cyclist International and have managed several International BMX events in the USA and South America. I have also been involved officiating many BMX World Cup events as well as both the 2008 and 2012 USA Olympic Trials for BMX and Team USA. I also attend the 2012 Olympics in London for BMX. I deal with the who's who in the BMX industry pretty much on a daily basis. I'm in tune with what's going on in the BMX racing world. I help make it happen every day. I'm a great player on an awesome team!

My name is Joe"Brownie Man Sprague, and I ride for Albe's Bike Shop.I race in 36-40 inter after I celebrate my birthday in March. I also bake and sell brownies to pay for my racing.

As a racer, I have been racing Cruiser class since the age of 46. I started racing because I felt I was missing out on the fun while watching my oldest daughter tear it up on the track. All my kids have raced with me as time has passed. I continue to race in Cruiser class at my local track Richfield Park BMX while also competing on the National Level. I always do my best and try to put a fun face on the experience rather than be demoralized when I don't do well. However, I do have a fire in my belly to win. So, no matter which track or event I am at, when the gate drops I am giving it all I got. On the backside, I am a Skilled Trades Millwright that works for General Motors at the Lansing Grand River Body Shop helping keep the line running that makes Camaro's and Cadillacs. I have three beautiful daughters, an old boxer dog named Angus that hangs out with me at the local bmx track. I am the Track Operator at Richfield Park BMX and make the most out what income we can generate through the local races. Sometimes we improvise and things still seem to work out for the best. To finish, I would simply say, If you have the time and are close please stop out to Richfield Park BMX and get your bikes and racing mojo on the track. We are always working to make it stand out and be a National Caliber race track.
