Grew up in Torrance California racing BMX and Motocross at Ascot Park. Now I race occasionally with my kids.

I have been racing BMX for 18 years USABMX Certified Coach 5x Team USA Rider

My name is Dakota Graham. I'm 17 so I race in the 17-20 Girls class at Charlie's BMX in Bemus Point, New York. I have been racing since I was 7 years old. The people that got me into racing were my cousins Erin, Jackson, and Trevor. I don't have any sponcers. But I hope I have some someday.

I discovered BMX at the age 11 when a local racer asked if I wanted to help build a track in the field behind my house. I jumped at the chance and spent a lot of time riding back there that summer, but I didn't officially start racing for three more years. My first race was at Casino Beach in Lake Worth, TX, and I managed to come away with a big win in the 14 novice class that day.That was the summer of 1986. I turned Expert a few years later, and then turned pro in 1990. After three nationals and even a few wins, I joined the Army, where I proudly served four years shooting big guns as an artilleryman. In 1994, I resumed racing full-time and turned AA (Elite) in August of 1995. In 2002, I joined the Vet Pro ranks where I stayed for thirteen years. 2015 marked a new chapter in my career as I rejoined the amateur ranks in Expert and Cruiser. BMX has given me a life I could have only dreamed of! I've had the opportunity to experience many different cultures and have made life-long friends all over the globe. I hope to share my passion for riding and help racers of all ages pursue their goals and reach their full potential through the Berm Academy clinic program.
