SECOND TIMES A CHARM

It just seems like yesterday that we were in Rock Hill for the Carolina Nationals and here we are again.

After Nashville was unable to host the Music City Nationals on Labor Day weekend, we pivoted things back down to arguably the most impressive BMX facility in the country. The City of Rock Hill again welcomed everyone with open arms and provided another opportunity to host a fantastic event.

Friday kicked off with 209 motos of HOT racing action. The Pro Open class saw the return of defending National #1 Pro Connor Fields and he would win two of the three days. On Sunday he would jet off to another race in Red Bud, Michigan to support friend and former BMXer Christian Craig in his AMA outdoor MX race. Living the life. On Sunday, Florida’s Brazilian transplant Anderson Souza would take top honors, followed by Jeremy Smith and Joshua Mclean.

This weekend saw increased rider counts in most of the classes in contention for the national title chases. This meant that riders were laying it on the line come main event time. One such rider was Florida 12X Clay Sheffield. Most folks won’t recognize that name just yet but the watchful eyes over at Daylight Cycle Co. quickly added him to their factory squad. With two big wins in the class, this up and comer will soon be the talk of the staging chutes.
