New Rules for 2013:

• Intermediate riders will advance to Expert with 20 wins ( instead of 25)
• USA BMX has increased the Memebership Renewal fee to $60 fee--this now will include Class & Cruiser for one price. Cruisers will now be allowed to compete in the Mixed Open and Open classes at the Nationals in 2013.
