It Only Makes Sense. You Get the Greatest Bmx Racers From All Over the U.S., Add in a Few Top Dudes and Dudettes From Other Countries, and Put Them on One of the Greatest Bmx Tracks Ever Built. Then You Appropriately Bill It as the Greatest Race on Earth, and What You Will End Up With, Is Indeed, the Greatest Bmx Racing We’ve Seen. Ever.
Even before the first gate of practice had dropped on Thursday morning, thousands of racers and their families had arrived in Tulsa for the Thanksgiving tradition. The Grands experience. As vendors were putting the last minute touches on their booths and teams were receiving deliveries from the local Rent-a-Center (pool tables, sofas, big screen TV’s, etc), folks were arriving every minute and sprinting to the bleacher area to check out the track.
It sure would suck if the Grands turned out to be not-so-Grand. But that was NOT the case in 2016. (Honestly, that has never been the case. Never, ever.) Once again, the Grands lived up to its hype and moniker, and everyone was able to witness some of the best BMX action in nearly every age and division. We witnessed super tight racing, along with all of the thrills of victories ...and sometimes, the agonies of defeat. Always, with great sportsmanship.

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.
