Podcast: Gary Aragon Talks About GSX/UCI Deal

Over the past month the rumor mill has been digesting this one like an anaconda that downed a doberman. Finally, the UCI made it official this week, with a release stating that a new firm, led by NBL CEO Gary Aragon (Global SX Events, Inc.) would “hold part of the organizing and marketing rights for the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series.”

The move has raised lots of interest, a few questions, and a few eyebrows in the community, and News thought it would be good to wait a day or two to post the news until the rumor had a time to shake out from the fact. We also thought it would be most-fitting to invite Gary to join us on the Announcers Tower Podcast to talk about the new company, in his own words and answer some of the more burning questions, both on our minds and yours.

We came away from the chat with a better understanding of how the NBL figures into all of this, how GSX figures into the shot-calling on the SX calendar, and the forward-looking role of some of the long-time players on the UCI side of the SX scene.
