The crowds cheered as toddlers took to the track and competed at the Strider World Cup during the NBL Georgia Peach Nationals, which was configured on a BMX track containing two table tops, a bermed turn and whoops sections. The double header race had perfect weather with a hot sunny day on Saturday and a warm overcast day on Sunday.
Strider World Cup races are competing with the same rule package as the BMX riders and are held at all NBL Nationals. The racing classes include 2, 3, 4, and 5-year-olds by birth year.
“We’re thrilled with the results of the inaugural NBL Strider World Cup at the Georgia Peach Nationals where we saw little kids increase their confidence, balance and riding ability over the two day meet,” explained Ryan McFarland,Founder and CEO of Strider Sports International. “Some families drove over 5 hours to join in the activities, and we had a great group of little riders. They played, they raced, they developed new skills, and they even took naps at the track. And at the end, the smiles and comments from families let us know that we really have something special with the Strider World Cup program. Several families even said they are going to plan family vacations around some of the upcoming events. We can't wait to see how this is going to grow leading up to the US. and World championships!”
NBL CEO Gary Aragon adds, "We couldn't have asked for a better turnout for the first NBL Strider World Cup race in Peachtree City. We are very excited about our partnership with Strider Sports. The partnership will help us further our mission of promoting the sport of BMX Racing to a younger audience, and moreover, promoting healthy lifestyles to our nation's children and families. Additionally, through the spirit of fun competition, participants in the series are able to learn some valuable life skills at an early age. We look forward to the progression of the Strider Cup through this season and into the future."
Each Strider World Cup event will include an Adventure Zone featuring Strider™ test rides and opportunities for kids to play, learn, and socialize with peers while riding on two wheels. Plus, there is a Rider's Lounge where kids can relax in the shade, play with toys, work on crafts, and just be little kids. There's definitely something for every family looking for an outdoor weekend play activity and outing.
