Usa Bmx 2016 National No. 1 Cruiser.
IN THE BEGINNING
DREW: I started racing in ‘84. July 1st, 1984 at Plantation BMX in Missouri. In ‘83, they’d finished up the ESPN race series there. I think John Piant won pro there, and Gary Ellis was still an amateur. I was getting all of the BMX magazines, reading about it since ‘82. Finally found out where my local track was. Started racing there. After Plantation closed, we had Supercross in St. Louis, which I think hosted the NBL Grands one year. We had some pretty good tracks to chose from back then.
ON WITH THE SHOW
DREW: I’ve never stopped racing. Around ‘90, I did get a little burned out and maybe only raced once or twice. But I always kept a bike and always rode. I turned Pro for about a year. Had two of my worst injuries as a Pro, and decided Pro just wasn’t fun.
RED HOT
DREW: Around 1992 I was pretty much done with Missouri winters. It was like 21, 22 degrees out. I knew some friends in Florida and they gave me the offer to come out and stay with them. I liked the thought of being able to race year-round.

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.
