When your dad is one of the most recognized names in the sport of BMX, being the first kid to win two consecutive National No.1 Amateur titles, you are no doubt going to have a lot to live up to.
Nine year old Danica Anderson is just that girl. She’s the daughter of the original “Avalanche” - Richie Anderson. And while it may seem she is racing in her father’s footsteps, she’s also happily leaving her own.
PULL: What grade are you in right now, Danica?
DANICA: Third grade. On Friday, my whole classroom watched my racing (on the live webcast).
RICHIE: The teacher was really excited about it.
PULL: Cool! So you’re going to be a superstar when you get back on Monday. What’s your favorite subject in school?
DANICA: I like science.
PULL: Earlier this year - since the Grands, you rode for Box. How’d you feel riding for them?
DANICA: I felt like I was better, than riding on something else. It felt great that they wanted me on the team. Although there was a little bit more pressure.
PULL: Who do you look up to the most?
DANICA: I look up to Alise Post and Sam.

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.
