The Machine's Gold Vision F1
Māris Štrombergs. The only man to win back-to-back Olympic BMX gold. This is the bike he rides now — a one-off gold Vision F1 — as he coaches Supercross riders down the road to LA 2028 and Brisbane 2032.
Gold isn't a colorway. On this bike it's a resume. Two Olympic finals, two gold medals, one nickname that needed no translation in any country BMX is raced in: The Machine.
The Champion Who Chose Us
Māris "The Machine" Štrombergs won his Olympic golds in Beijing and London years before he ever rode for us — that history belongs to him, not to any frame. What belongs to this chapter is what came after: when the most decorated BMX racer in Olympic history decided where he wanted to ride next, he chose Supercross. Not the biggest check on the table. The brand he wanted. We've been proud of a lot of things in 37 years of building race frames. That one sits near the top.
Today Māris rides a Pro XXL Vision F1 — but not as a racer chasing another Games. He's with Supercross through Brisbane 2032 as a coach: getting our Factory Team riders prepped for the next two Olympic cycles, running gates and clinics with the fastest first straight the sport has ever produced. The gold bike isn't retired hardware. It's the teaching tool.

"Will this make a BMX racing bike faster, lighter, and stronger?" Every part on this bike passed that question. So did the rider.

The Road Ahead — The Machine Team
This partnership isn't a jersey deal. Māris and Supercross are building toward the two biggest home-soil moments the sport will ever hand us: the LA 2028 Olympic Games — 90 miles from our front door in Apple Valley — and Brisbane 2032, where this whole program is aimed.
2026–27
The Work
Coaching gates, clinics, and rider prep — The Machine building the next machines on the Vision program.
2028
LA — Home Soil
The Olympics come to Southern California. Māris won't be in the gate — his riders will be, prepped by the man who owns two of these.
2032
Brisbane
Where the whole leadout points. Māris coaches with Supercross through 2032 — two full Olympic cycles, one program.
MACHINE Racing — The Champion's Next Venture
The kit in these photos isn't a sponsor's. It's his. MACHINE Racing is Māris's own gear company — race jerseys and pants, built by a two-time Olympic champion for racers around the world. The same standard he brought to the gate, sewn into what you race in. See the line at themachineracing.com or follow @themachineracing.
Ride the Same Frame
The Vision F1 that The Machine rides is the same frame we sell — Toray aerospace carbon, tested to three times the EN BMX safety requirement, 8× USA BMX Bike of the Year.
