The USA BMX Bayou Classic Nationals - April 2021
Gretna, Louisiana
"Why replace Oregon with a race in Louisiana?!" ...well, you'd have to have been in Gretna, to find that out. Let's just say that the entire city of Gretna - everyone from the Mayor's office to the Gretna Police Dept to Gretna's Parks & Rec department and Visitors Bureau (not to mention the local businesses and hotels) were all pumped up to host a USA BMX National. When given the opportunity, they all jumped at the chance to bring some BMX tourism to their fine city (which happens to be located just outside of New Orleans).
