With the uncertainty that has loomed over this season, the crew at Sports Park BMX had a small amount of time to prepared for an event of this magnatude. Despite the challenge, they stood firm that they would stand up and take it on, which just shows their long standing dedication to our glorious sport.
Once gates began to drop and points were on the line, any and all concerns about the heat, the dust or the track really evaporated.
Regional racing brings out some of the best talent that we only get a glimpse of at the national level. One such racer is Evan Sheibels who dominated the 15 Cruiser and 15 Expert on his home track. Another impressive rider was the Lil’ Missle Merissa Brown. She had some top notch competition in the 10 & Under Girls Cruiser class and kept it consistant with a one-two finish to secure the overall championship.

GOLD CUP SOUTHWEST
When you roll into the local Quiktrip and one of Tucson’s finest looks at your shirt and asks if you know Corben Sharrah, you can only be in one city in America. Often coined as the loudest city in BMX, it doesn’t matter if there is a single fan or a gaggle of Tucsonans, they know how to bring the energy.
GOLD CUP NORTHEAST
With all of the uncertainty in event planning this year, it was not a huge surprise that the DK Bicycles North East Gold Cup Finals shifted locations somewhat last minute. We were very lucky to have it and at a great location, Akron BMX in Akron, Ohio. The Big Red Truck was last here for the 2018 North East Gold Cup Finals, and the track is located in a pretty incredible location.
