Dear MEDIA rep and/or Freelance Photographer...

USA BMX gladly welcomes the Press to the infield of any USA BMX national event. Working Media is always our highest priority.
If you are approved for Media Credentials at a national, we do require you to fill out a Bib slip at the event, which will require Credit Card information as a "deposit."  Your credit card WILL NOT be charged as long as you return the vest at the end of the day. Your deposit slip will then be given back to you when the bib is returned.
 If you fail to return a vest, your card will be charged $50. 

All MEDIA vests must be returned at the end of weekend, and worn at all times when you are in the infield.
Failure to wear your Media vest may result in you asking to leave the infield area of the track. 

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your information. We look forward to seeing you at the races!
