Beginning with BMX racing at 6 years old in April of 2000, Chelsea competed at the state and national level until her early 20's. Leading up to her 15th birthday, she took interest in BMX freestyle. After much prodding and trying to ride a department store bike from the bicycle co-op where she volunteered, her parents gave her her first freestyle bike for her birthday; though she broke the frame within five months. By that point, Chelsea was hooked and has drifted further into freestyle ever since. She got her start in freestyle competitions in 2014 in the Florida BMX park series and spent the next several years competing at the state level. In 2016, she had just begun to travel nationally for BMX freestyle and the announcement came that the sport would be included in the 2020 Olympic Games. She began work to start competing internationally and took the course for her first UCI C1 event two years later. After several strong placings in North American C1 events, she dove head first into her rookie UCI World Cup season, ending the year's overall points ranked 5th in the world. Other accomplishments that she's extremely proud of during the 2019 season are a third place finishes at both the US National and Pan-American Championships. Though 11th place at the 2019 UCI World Championship was her lowest finish of the season, she's still very proud of that result for her first year.
