Alejandro Seri

Alejandro is a dual slalom specialist who grew up racing BMX. With a few championships under his belt, he decided he wanted to give mountain bikes a go. After a few 4-cross races he was hooked. He’s no stranger to the podium and even has a Sea Otter Classic win under his belt. Alejandro spends a lot of time training on pump tracks and has added a few pump track races to his schedule. @alejandroseri

Rick Nolte

Rick brings his own style to the show and has his own brand of riding that’s a mix of old skool flatland, mid-skool jib, and modern BMX street. Rick literally stops traffic and has been known to take requests from passing drivers. Rick is a showman and you should never pass up a chance to see him ride! @nolte_rick
