Born September the 29th -1979, Glenn Codega was raised in a small suburb called Browns Plains located South of Brisbane. Glenn began racing competitively at the age of 8 dominating most age classes along the way to eventually winning a Queensland, Australian & World Title within the same year. Thinking the time was right to retire the bike at 14 Glenn played Rugby League for 3 seasons until a knee injury made him re-think his judgment and return back to BMX, since then Glenn slowly climbed his way back to the top while building a BMX company called Phirebird Raceways a company that provides essential services to the fastest growing sport on 2 wheels. In this time BMX was announced as a new Olympic discipline for 2008 the verdict was made by stealth and not due to the traditional view of racing as we know it, these new styles of tracks resemble downhill racing and with an extremely steep starting hill and skill orientated obstacles that provide that certain “awe” factor. The UCI continues to develop the UCI BMX Super Cross World Cup Series as the premier international BMX racing series for 2006 and beyond.
Now with this in mind Glenn teamed up with mentors/trainers Tom Creevey & Brad Pillette-Hughes to prepare him for Olympic selection in time for Beijing.
Glenn’s training plan proofed to be on the money when he achieved international results last year by becoming Australia’s highest ranked Super Cross rider for 2006 and also winning the A pro class in a prestige US event called the NBL GRANDS. The following month Glenn’s unstable knee blew out in a basic practise session which resulted to a Knee surgery.
Glenn’s intense rehab has commenced and he patiently waits for the nod from trainers to compete again. Glenn is determined to compete at the second round of the UCI WORLD CUP SUPER CROSS this August 2007 this event will be run on the official Olympic track in Beijing and may decide weather Glenn’s got what it takes to represent Australia in BMX.
