To increase the awareness of BMX racing, Johan was instrumental developing the 'BMX Supercross' format, customized to adhere to the high demand of the elite riders and making the sport adapted to a more TV and spectator friendly format. This new format was also crucial for BMX to become an Olympic discipline in 2008.
