What a day at Havelock North! The New Zealand Qualifier brought the heat, with riders pushing the limits and spectators on the edge of their seats. The energy was high, the competition fierce, and the passion for pump track racing was unmistakable. We were especially thrilled to see more women riders joining the action, showing that the love for pump track is stronger than ever!
It was a dry, slightly windy day with temperatures around 20 degrees, and the atmosphere was buzzing. The men’s race saw Australia’s Josh Jolly, the 2024 UCI Men’s Junior Elite BMX World Champ, dominate the track. His smooth flow set the fastest times all day, leading him to victory in a tight final.

While out in California for DirtyFest, we met Larry Alvarado from Stacked BMX! He invited us out to his shop and so once DirtyFest was done, we sped on over to his shop in Riverside to learn more about him and to check out his digs. Larry has an extensive background in BMX and it was a pleasure to get a chance to talk with him and learn more about his story.
We finally test out the new upgrades to my Action Sports Compound RWilly Land. We used some pallets to create a makeshift roll in to get extra speed and send some new tricks that we have never tried before.
We went to Greenville, North Carolina to honor the greatest competition BMX rider of all time, The legendary, Dave Mirra. They had a memorial event at the local skatepark in which they unveiled a statue in his honor and it was a beautiful event.

Doing it for Alex Hiam! As usual the BMX Finals were insane but unfortunately they were also overshadowed by a bad crash that Alex Hiam took during qualifying. The Australian is currently stable and continues to be monitored closely in the ICU in the local hospital in Estonia.
