What does the future hold for BMX and Wade Bootes?
bmxultra.com: How much longer do you think you will be racing BMX? Wade: I will be happy to retire from BMX after I have completed the main event at the 2008 Olympic games. As long as I am a main event contender and still winning races in any cycling discipline there is no point for me to stop racing. I have been given a lot of advice in the past… if you stop racing before your time is up, you can not turn back the clock. bmxultra.com: Do you think you will be more competitive on the MTB as you get older? Wade: Seems like the MTB age is higher at this time but I am sure the age will keep going up now in BMX due to the Olympics… Bas De Bever is 35/36 Lopes, King and Carter (33-35ish) and all still going strong in the MTB World. Age is just a number… if you have the support and dedication, an athlete can continue as long as his or her heart is in it. I am only 31. bmxultra.com: If Australia gets to send 2 female and 3 male riders to the Olympics, who do you think they will be? Wade
