Supercross World Cup of BMX

I just completed a photo shoot for a BMX magazine out of Spain. The images were used in their feature story on the Supercross World Cup of BMX that took place at the US Olympic Training Center here in San Diego, CA. BMX was introduced to the Summer Olympics in Beijing. The US Olympic Training Center replicated the track that was used in China and as a result was the last stop on the world traveling World Cup circuit.
