Supercross BMX Racing

Another dual weekend in the books and our minds have been spinning faster than a set of killer buzz hubs on KJ’s Vet Pro ride. That’s right KJ has done it again and shown it wasn’t luck at his home track in Rock Hill and has backed it up snagging another win with a sweet dive in turn 1 after a king drag race that worked out perfectly. Some say the pass was so quick it blew the seat clear off of Nobles ride and he couldn’t even give chase?!?! Chalk up another big W for KJ and he seems to gauge the comp slowly and then make his move when the chips are on the table. Come grands he may be a guy to keep an eye on as he quietly stacks the scores and positions himself in the battle.

Not to be outdone on the Amateur side was none other than Justin Perkins who had a clean sweep of the weekend going 1,1,1 while in New Mexico and improves his NAG ranking and has all hit wrapped up a spot on the coveted NAG 5 challenge.

Also stacking additional scores was LegoMan Ryder Merki which by the way have you seen his fundraiser shirt yet? Grab one better yet grab two! He was working with a hot hand in class and cruiser and was all over the podium this weekend.

His biggest fan Jason Morris has him going way fast and the only other person I recall going quicker was our own Kenth Fallen who is a local in Albuquerque. Chalk him up for a second on Friday and a big win on Sunday in the ultra tough 41-45x class. This class has been getting bigger and more stacked with each race and we are excited to see if Kenth plans on getting 8 scores and taking a shot at the title or just showing up and playing spoiler at the the Grands. Whatever he chooses many a people are eager to hear his decision.

When we think of Florida and the kickoff to a new season of racing naturally we think sunny weather and fast paced race action right? Well mother nature had a different idea and the sun was elusive and nowhere near as bright as the debuts for a few new faces and some familiar faces in new classes.
