Keeping calm on race day is the advice 10-time Ironman New Zealand champion Cameron Brown is giving his sons Joshua and Braeden before this week's International Cycling Union BMX World Championships.
Brown's sons will be among nearly 4000 of the world's best riders racing from tomorrow until Sunday on the
indoor course at Auckland's Vector Arena.
Joshua, 10, and Braeden, 11, have been riding for the Papakura BMX Club for five years and will this year compete for New Zealand in the 10 to 14 years class. "We thought it was a good sport to be in," said Brown. "It was one of those sports that was growing and a good sport to get a lot of skills from."
Their uncle Michael Kellow was a champion of the sport when he was younger, and their mother Jenny is the secretary of their club.
"They are very excited. It's their first world championships so it's nice to be on their home soil."
