Bodi started racing at the tender age of 4. Later on, after a few years helping the family business “BMXMAD”, Turner decided to focus on racing and give himself the best chance to become a pro rider. It paid off. After 2 years in the Elite category the Australian’s results are getting better and better with, as a highlight, 2nd place in Ängelholm, round 3 of the 2015 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup. Like many cyclists, Bodi’s goal for next year is qualification for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and, who knows, maybe gold? We look forward to following this talented young athlete in 2016. In the meantime, he told us what he likes most in life.
