The 2021 TRA Double Cross and Dirt Jump Comp went down September 18, 2021 at the TRA compound in Macungie, PA.  The pro invitational fundraiser event, presented by S&M, FIT, Dirtsculpt, Empire, Odyssey, Titanium Finishing, Powers Bike Shop, Fictive Brand, Penn Skate, Axelrad Screen Printing, The Wheel Mill, Actions Wheels Bike Shop, Crest Flooring, Griminals, Fabtech, and Stay Strong, drew riders from across the country with  both 20” and 26” pro classes and also debuted TRA’s first 15 & Under kids class. The 2-man course featured full-on trails style jumps with minimal pedaling and plenty of air time. After the race, an open wheel dirt jump comp was held on the same course with best run judged by Posh and Catty locals Jay Crosson, Scotty Englebrecht, and Jeremy Behler.  The event featured a $1500 pro purse with a winner-take-all cash prize in each class.  Additional prizes were provided by Fictive Brand and the Wheel Mill.  In the Dirt Jump Comp, the 15 & Under riders joined the pros to compete for a special kids prize of a new BSD frame provided by Fictive Brand.  Stay tuned for tons of event coverage from DIG, Our BMX, TJL Photo, Jess Grinager, SE Bikes, Mow-Air Photography, and more.

TRA BMX is proud to announce the 2021 TRA Double Cross and Dirt Jump Comp.  Presented by S&M/FIT and brought to you by Odyssey, Empire, Dirtsculpt, Powers Bike Shop, Axlerad Screen Printing, Penn Skate Skatepark, The Wheel Mill, Action Wheels, Crest Flooring, and STAY STRONG, this pro invitational fundraiser event will take place September 18, 2021 at the TRA compound near Bethlehem Pennsylvania, home of Posh and Catty Trails.  The event will include over 40 top dirt riders competing for a $1,500 Pro Purse and include two contests: the Double Cross – a one-on-one downhill trail race with both 20” & 26” classes, and an open wheel jump comp, all on the same course.  The event is being held to raise funding and support for TRA’s first public dirt park to be built in the Lehigh Valley area.

The TRA Double Cross course features massive bowl jumps with nonstop downhill trail action built by Dirtsculpt and brings together some of the top riders in BMX & MTB for an epic contest with a backyard vibe and a worldwide reach.  The course design is 100% trails, built the way riders across America build for themselves every day. 

This private non-profit fundraiser event is intended for riders, industry, media, dirt park and BMX track operators to come together and experience the future of BMX competition.  The event will be limited to the first 40 riders entered and attendees to the capacity of our 1 acre field parking area. If you are interested in competing or attending, you must contact TRA BMX for an official invite. Per TRA rules, no clipless pedals or carbon fiber bikes are permitted. This is a family-friendly, alcohol free event held in a manner that respects our neighbors and zoning ordinances.
