2023 USA Cycling National Championships // USA BMX Legacy Nationals

Finished P4 at the @usacycling National Championships, plus P1, P3, and a crash in 17-20 Expert. Many glimpses of hope, but not much to show.
Looked to be in a good spot in U23 final, but flying bikes in the first corner forced me to roll the 2nd straight and finish 4th. In 17-20 I passed for the lead on Saturday in the last corner, but I lost the rear and slid out. Happy to end the weekend with a win in 17-20 on Sunday though!
Back to work to improve for the next one. Huge thanks to my coach Donavon Long for all the help during the race and leading up to the race. Also want to give a huge thanks to @usacycling, Jamie Staff, German Medina, and all the riders and staff for the amazing training camp leading up to this race! Lastly, thanks to all my sponsors who keep me safe and going fast:

[@whole10meters]

Yes my brudah…you comin back to the UK for the world championships in Glasgow later this year?

[@DrewPolkBMX]

That’s the plan!

[@hoboonwheels]

I'm convinced you have the best first turn as well as rhythm section in the game, bro. That is where you catch and smoke people in those sections of the track, in my opinion.

[@AdamOravetz]

You didn’t do any training for the 2 weeks before this race did you…. I hope you have some good recovery time. That was some awesome back to back racing even with a couple of spills over the weekend.

[@gotmoto]

Did I hear an umph in that last straight of the last main? I usually get those when I’m gassed and struggling to get through it

[@DrewPolkBMX]

That was because I cased the step-up, but probably because I was gassed 😂

[@randominternetvideos7104]

That is some darn good racing. What gear ratio are you running?

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Thanks! Just a 44/16

[@bennythejetwins]
