Nothing beats the end of silly season and the beginning of a new chase for the No.1 titles.
The USA BMX season opener never disappoints and Saturday’s 304 motos was evidence that folks are ready to race in 2017, in a BIG way.
This race also marked the first time in a long time that AA-pros are able to race at non Pro Series events. The new Pro Open class will be available at every round of the USA BMX National series outside of those designated as such. Every Pro class was represented with Keely Kortman holding it down for the Women, Vet Pro Champ Cristian Becerine representing the elder statesmen, the AA trio of Nic Long, Tyler Brown and Jacob Peebles and of course the A Pro’s.
On Day one Nic Long came in with a vengeance and dominated the one lap main event. Dr. Holeshot Becerine looked as if he would get to turn one before the Olympian but tucked in safely for the two. Tyler Brown nabbed the three aboard his new DK Elite frame. On day two Long would again take the top honors. JET Racing honcho Jacob Peebles finished in the two slot and Supercross’ Mike Swearingen took home third place honors.
The Shriver sisters got right down to business on Saturday in Mixed Open a fired off three wins in a row for their new team Throdwn. If you haven’t heard, Jim Buchanan’s team and SSquared parted ways at the conclusion of the 2016 Grands.

GOLD CUP NORTH CENTRAL
If there is one good thing about this year’s Covid closures of states and counties, it is that tracks that might not normally have gotten a shot at hosting a National or Gold Cup event, were now given that opportunity.

GOLD CUP SOUTHEAST
This year the DK Bicycles Gold Cup South East Finals were held at one of the fastest BMX tracks in Alabama - Circle City BMX, in Dothan. If trying to claim one of the coveted Gold Cup Plates brought you to Circle City BMX for your first time you might have been surprised when you first saw the track layout.
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.
