BMX racing is my life. I have over 35 years experience in the sport. From being both a top National caliber racer ( Many District #1's, NAG, and National Plates, and Gold Cup West Champion) and managing/officiating events on the district, state, regional, national, and World Cup levels. I have gained invaluable experience in the BMX racing world both on and off the track. I have also completed all the requirements to become an International Commissaire for (UCI) Union Cyclist International and have managed several International BMX events in the USA and South America. I have also been involved officiating many BMX World Cup events as well as both the 2008 and 2012 USA Olympic Trials for BMX and Team USA. I also attend the 2012 Olympics in London for BMX. I deal with the who's who in the BMX industry pretty much on a daily basis. I'm in tune with what's going on in the BMX racing world. I help make it happen every day. I'm a great player on an awesome team!

I started racing two years ago when my parents brought my two younger brothers to try out their free day at our local bmx track. I had no clue what bmx was...I'm not going to lie, I thought it would be a giant dirt circle that they would race around, kind of like a race car track. lol However, to my surprise it was WAY cooler then that!!! I sat on the bleachers for a few weeks watching, and then decided it looked like a lot of fun!!! So, I got out one of the track bikes, signed up for my free day, and went up to the starting hill! I have been hooked ever since!!!

I am 21 years old, currently living in Long Beach, California, but soon relocating to Glibert, Arizona. I started racing BMX in 2002 at Orange Y BMX in Orange, California. My dad raced as a teenager at Chandler BMX in Arizona. At the time I started racing my brother had already been racing for a few years, but I had finally decided that I wanted to give it a try. My first national was just a short three weeks later in Reno, Nevada at the season opener of 2003. From 2003 to 2008, my dad, my brother and I raced around the country hitting every race possible, chasing points year after year. Beginning in 2008, my dad and I began attending the World Championships. I saw much success at these races in China, Australia, South Africa, and Denmark. After taking a hiatus from BMX for a short time while I was attending nursing school, I am now back doing what I love, racing BMX. Currently, I race in the 21-25 Girls and Girls Cruiser classes in the USA BMX National Series.

(From the 2010 NATIONAL BMX HALL OF FAME Ceremnoy) Few industries have a person so well known and respected that one name suffices in identifying them. In the music biz, there's Bono, Cher and Madonna. And in BMX, we have "gOrk." (usually spelled with a small "g," and capital 'O.") As someone who has raced since 1976 - at age 13, on both the local and national level (UBR National No.1 sidehack three years running), rode-in and promoted freestyle shows in its infancy, worked in the warehouse at CW Racing, and served as Editor of both the iconic BMX ACTION and ABA`s BMXer Magazines, before becoming marketing director of Redline BIcycles for 11 years - it's safe to say that gOrk has made his mark on nearly every era of our sport It was during the 90's - with the ABA, when he began doodling the characters known as Juan Hander & Noah Footer - which are currently in the process of being scanned an retouched for a series of books. In 1999, after 10 years with ABA, gOrk moved to the Pacific Northwest to join Seattle Bike Supply as the Director of Marketing for their flagship brand, Redline Bicycles. It was there, with the red, white and black that he assembled some of the greatest Redline riders in the brand's history - from Bubba Harris to Kim Hayashi, to Sam Willoughby, Alise Post and Jason Carne$. In 2011, gOrk returned to Arizona to work for USA BMX as their Chief Communications Officer, where he is managing editor of PULL and in charge of all social media and website communication with the members of USA BMX.

In 2012, Mariana Pajon became only the second Gold medalist from her home country. With her win at the London Olympics, she was instantly boosted in to an instant sports celebrity in Colombia. Mariana followed up her Olympic Gold in 2013 with an incredible last-minute charge to take over the points-lead in Pro Women, coming in to The Grands. In Tulsa, she fought hard with Redline’s Alise Post in all three mains, and came out on top - winning her first USA BMX National No.1 Championship. No.1 Woman Pro and Gold medalist ... there isn’t much that Mariana can’t do and hasn’t won.

Brand new to BMX racing. I bought a bike, hopped on a plane, and flew to the first National I could find. I got a third in my first race ever and have been hooked. I can't wait for my next race. I travel a lot for work and am always looking for cool tracks to hit after work. Hope to see you out there and have some fun on the track while trying to get in shape and lose weight.

I started racing when I was 14 back then the sweet tracks were in Arvada( remember the bridge) and at Boulder County Fairgrounds during the winter Indoor, that was fun. I Quit when i was around 17. I always rode mountain bikes of and on and was a hard core road biker for about the last 6 years up until June 2018. I Just started Riding bmx again in June of 2019 and started racing again at the same time. I'm in Intermediate Class Trying to gain my feet again and trying to get used to this 20" but these young expert riders are fast and I'm having trouble keeping up. i just need to push myself hard, start hitting the gym, and have NO FEAR!! . UPDATE: 07/01/20 - practicing and getting better gunning for the #1 in state this year. I think I can do it as long as I don't get stuck racing experts all year. Also really trying my best to earn 18 scratch that 17 more 1st places this year so I can move up to expert which will be a much more difficult task since I'm always racing experts , but it can only make me better .
