The 2024 Flat Pedal Pro-Am hits Richmond BMX this Sunday, June 16th and this year is expected to be the biggest yet. See below for all the details and follow @richmondbmx on Instagram for all the latest breaking info.

ONLINE PRE-SIGN IS REQUIRED and is open at www.richmondbmx.com

All riders ages 15 and up are eligible to enter either men's or women's pro-am open and a USA BMX membership is required.

We will hold 14 & under single lap, boys & girls DASH FOR CASH open as well. Entry fee is $5 per rider on-site and the first-place winner of the moto will take home all the cash based on rider count in that moto. Example: 5 riders = $25 award to first place finisher. No other riders receive a prize for this open race.

 

CASH PAYOUT:

We have revised this year's payout structure but have maintained our goal of an equal & equitable pay structure for both men & women opens. The biggest change this year is that the payout will be dependent on the total rider entry count.

Podium winners in each open will receive a minimum payout of $1,500 for first place, $1,000 for second place, and $500 for third place. The payout purse will be increased by adding $100 per entered rider and all entry fees being added to the purse. All main event riders will receive a % portion of the total payout purse. The % amount increases based on finish placement. Based on last year's rider count we would estimate the total men's payout to be $7,500 and the women's to be $4,500. THE MORE RIDERS ENTERED THE HIGHER THE PAYOUT so tell your friend and get them entered.

 

AMATEUR SPECIFIC CASH AWARDS:

  • LOCAL AMATEUR PRO-AM AWARD: Thanks to BOX, one Virginia amateur rider in men's & women's opens who places the highest will receive $100. This is for any non-podium placement which means that a local rider not making the main event could win this award.
  • AMATEUR HOLESHOT AWARD: Sponsored by Alienation BMX, one amateur rider in men's & women's opens will receive a $100 holeshot award during a randomly selected qualifying moto.

 

RAFFLE PRIZES:

We have a ton of them and they are awesome!!

  • Title sponsor, PEDALING INNOVATIONS, has offered up a BIG pile of BIG pedals. Multiple winners will receive a pair of Catalyst pedals in a color of their pick (based on what is available)
  • Ryno Power has provided a prize package including $250 worth of performance supplements & swag. They also will be giving EVERY rider a gift card for $50 off of any $100 order. This is available to ALL riders signed up for any class, experience level, or age group. 
  • BOX has provided four product prize packages. Each package is the same and will be awarded to multiple ticket holders.
  • MONGOOSE once again steps up big and has donated a 20" Title Elite Pro complete bike
  • Powers Bike Shop & RADshare are both providing product & swag prize packages

 

ON-SITE EVENT SWAG PRINTING:

Studio Two-Three will be bringing their mobile print truck on-site and we'll have two event-specific shirts available for $20 each. You will pick the design, shirt color & size, and they will do the rest.
