28 March 2026

March 28 & 29, 2026 – Rock Hill, South Carolina

Rounds 3 and 4 of the 2026 USA BMX Pro series tour headed down to Rock Hill, SC to one of the USA’s top BMX tracks for the Pros to battle it out for the Championship series. The Chase Pro team of Izaac Kennedy, Payton Ridenour, Barry Nobles, as well as as supported rider Ryan Tougas and amateur Heston Novotny all headed to Rock Hill looking to gain some momentum in the early part of the 2026 race season. 

Pro Day 1 – Saturday. The Day started off with Mother Nature showing the BMX for who is boss with strong winds and cold temps. For the safety of the riders, USA BMX postponed the Pro racing until later than originally scheduled, as the winds were to wind down and that great decision helped give the fans and ther Pros the prime racing conditions to make for some incredible racing. 

For the Pro team, Payton would top the results with a 2nd place finish in the Elite Women’s main event, backing up the win from last nights USA National Championship victory. In Elite Men, Ryan Tougas made his way back to the podium with a 3rd, while a bad gate cost Izaac a shot for a top finish and he would wind up 8th. Barry finished 6th in vet Heston would take 2nd in 11X
