2021 UCI BMX World Championships - Drew Polk

It’s a dream come true to get a podium at the Worlds. It feels so amazing to see that all the hard work leading up to this race paid off. Even though there was some luck involved in the Final, I legitimately qualified for the Final and put myself in the right positions to be successful. I can’t believe I did it. 🤯
I couldn’t have done this without my coach: Donavon Long, my parents, @usacycling, @75bradford, and all my sponsors: @factoryhyperbmx, @hyperbmx, @atlasbrace, @6dhelmets, @snafubmx, @faith_race, @faithraceusa, @promaxcomponents, @boxbmx, @htcomponents, and @gformbike for allowing me to represent their company and for keeping me protected and going fast. Lastly, thank YOU ALL for the insane amount of support, you guys are the best!

[@EvansMTBSaga]

Congrats on the podium! Way to pass and have your skill get you there. Americans are really out of there element on European tracks. You really stepped up to the plate.

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Thank you!! I’ve always enjoyed the European tracks and they seem to suit me well. Definitely much different from the US haha

[@MissBonnieMcSquirrely]

An up and coming rider you are for sure! Great vid, I had goosebumps watching despite already knowing how you finished. You summed it up perfectly, except I wasn't really shocked :P You got it done and in a typical Drew's fashion - thrilling all the way to the finish. Massive congrats once again and may I say ya'll have some nice neighbors

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Thank you so much!!!

[@dannyball2503]

Nice video. Sure is different over there. That breakfast bar looked amazing. The track looked pretty tough but you rode well, love seeing that “ high gear”peddling and never give up attitude. Keep up the good work and stay in “high gear” I look forward to seeing more action, your fun to watch.
