Sam Willoughby #1 USA BMX pro title
Supercross skills
Part of Sam Willoughby's ability to succeed in BMX racing begins with his ability to crouch and tuck to gain proper backside on Supercross tracks.
Disney Cup
With a World Title, Olympic silver medal and Supercross title, Sam headed back down to Florida to protect his points and hopefully gain some more traction in Orlando.
USA BMX Grands
Early in the Grands weekend, Sam sought to block some points from Marc Willers and possibly secure a title in the process. He had no such luck and had to wait until the finals.
Chula Vista
Another view of Sam rocking the Chula Vista Supercross where he ended up second for the day behind Connor Fields.
Style
It seems like that weekend in Orlando, Sam's style just popped. No straight, sketchy race bike going over jumps for him, laying it out just enough to look good.
Fan pose
When you have a World Title and an Olympic medal, you also have fans.
B.C. Supercross
In his semi-final in Abbottsford, B.C. at the Supercross Finals, Sam had a solid 20-foot lead on the riders behind him.
