All eyes were on the weather forecast as the GoPro Midwest Nationals approached.
The temperatures looked prime but there were chances of showers late Saturday and on Sunday. That being said, Friday, day one of racing, shaped up to be a great day. This past weekend marks the halfway point in the Pro Series points chase. Coming into the weekend two men in the Elite class have separated themselves from the pack, defending champ Joris Daudet and Daylight’s Corben Sharrah. Joris has been on nearly every podium this year and Corben has racked up a couple of wins and plenty of podiums himself. However, this weekend we saw the return of the Olympic Gold medalist Connor Fields back to the top of the box. Fields was not only the victor each day, but he was also the Answer Holeshot winner as well. Rounding out the podium on Friday was Corben Sharrah and Mongoose’s Justin Posey. Day two saw Rift’s Corey Reid and Throdwn’s Kenneth Gustafson in the two and three spots respectively.

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.
