We are very excited Erma will be developing programs for riding and racing Striders at BMX tracks. We know Strider will only enhance the family atmosphere at BMX races and tracks as it provides a way for even the youngest riders to get involved in the racing lifestyle.”
Erma adds, “I’m truly honored to become a part of the Strider family. With my grandson, I’ve seen firsthand the excitement and joy a Strider bike and Strider World Cup Racing can bring to a child. Witnessing parents light up with pride when their youngsters race is what I love most about the program. I look forward to bringing that experience to other children and parents at tracks and races around the country!”
