VMP BMX | 36+ Experts & 15 Novice | 2023 VA State Qualifier #5
This is the fifth and final qualifying stop in the @usabmxvideos series at VMP BMX. It was another blazing hot day so I decided not to race cruiser and only do class. I snuggle up in the first turn with James Campbell a couple times which kept the racing spicy.
This is the story for the rest of this crazy, windy season opener at Richmond BMX. The kids rode hard and had fun and that is what BMX is all about.

I am sooooo close to getting this engine on the chassis. Then I realized I had the engine mounts set for a V6 and not my V8. Time to drop the suspension one more time to add these brackets and get this thing on the trailer.

The hunt for a Gold Cup plate is in full "GO" mode. I head to Pottstown, PA for the Gold Cup Finals at Trilogy Park BMX. I raced both Class and Cruiser around the wet track and muddy pits all weekend and I learned a bunch. We all rode as hard as possible and surprisingly, we all stayed upright.

We had a great turnout for the Richmond BMX season opener in Richmond, VA. 69 action-packed motos of BMX fun and I got to finish out a weekend of racing on both bikes. I was a little tired from racing at Hampton the day before, but it was great to be at my home track with some great racers. Opening day brought people from out of state to participate and it as great to meet some new BMX friends. Due to the wind I was able to get some of the shots I wanted so this is more of a race recap for me and less about the entire experience. Have fun, stay fast, and we'll see YOU on the track.

We head out east to Hampton, VA to race my third and final Gold Cup Qualifier. While I have raced this track plenty of times there are always slight modifications done so it rides a little different each time I come out. This day started with some wet spots but dried up by the end of the day. I didn't have a true class to race so I got stuck with some of the fastest guys at the track. It may not be good for points, but it was great to work on tracking some first straights and sharing the track with these super fast guys. Shout out to Dwaylon Carter (@dc_ripper) and Charles Davis (@charlesmdavis04) for stretching me over the weekend.

In this series I am dedicating time to rebuilding my BMX Gate Start technique from the ground up. I'm focusing the first few sessions strictly on the sprint block and this is session 3.
