Tangent-Rift’s Corey Reid (#23) is this year’s Cinderella story in AA-pro. On Friday, he scored a podium spot along with “T-Bone” Tanner Sebesta (#54). On Saturday, Texas’ vote for Rookie Pro of the Year - Billy Russell, took his first career podium with a second place.

You’ve headed up toward the top of the hill, winding through the trail in the woods, passing rows and rows of team tents and trailers. At the top you’ve rolled into staging and coast your bike underneath the big wooden roof. The slam of each gate makes your heart beat faster as you get closer to the start of this BMX roller-coaster. Finally lined up in the Onyx barrel gate, you look up to get a panoramic view of the entire Music City BMX track. Adrenaline is pumping through your veins as the cadence begins. This first straightaway is slightly downhill and it’s all about the horsepower. It’s an 8-man dragstrip, and your bike feels like a nitro-burning funny car.

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.
