My name is Samantha (Sami) Colling and I am a 15 year old Expert Girl BMX racer.
I started racing Novice Class in late 2013 after watching my brother race BMX at KBMX.
This is my fourth year being apart of C-Yaa BMX and my third year being on their National Level Racing team. I am very excited to be racing again with C-Yaa and their riders.
My favourite thing about BMX is the racing. However, the best part of BMX is making new friends and having fun with old friends.
My Home Track is Kingston BMX (KBMX), but I have raced all over Ontario, Quebec and the USA.
I love volunteering at our track and helping coach the new riders that join our club.
