“If you train hard, you’ll not only be hard, you’ll be hard to beat.” – Herschel Walker I remember my first time on the starting hill. I didn't look that big until I stood on top of it. After a couple of deep breaths I pushed on the pedals and headed into my BMX career. That was 2012 when I started and I've never looked back. Over the last few years I've been blessed to have literally dozens of riders and coaches offer their insight and guidence. Riders willing to help with learning the techniques and skills required to be a successful racer. Willing to work with that 'new' guy without making me feel foolish. Since 2014 I've dedicated myself to passing that same philosphy on at my local track. As a coach I enjoy the opportunity to share what I have learned to work with new riders (and some not so new.) I love working with a group or individual and then seeing them take their first lap, make their first main and pick up that first win. I love going to Grands and cheering them on. I love seeing them progress on and turn intermediate, then expert. It is always the best feeling to see rider develop over the time and know that in a small way I may have helped them way back at the beginning. At Yukon BMX we are committed to helping every rider become the best they can be. To make every rider feel like part of our BMX family. We strive to provide a first class facility, rider focused service and to be an organization that people want to be a part of. And, of course, we are always interested in hearing how we can do a better job.

Started racing when I was 15 on grass tracks with a one footed rubber band start. Then came Dixieland BMX Raceway replacing Buena Vista BMX in Nashville as the premier track in TN and still is to this day.

Been riding BMX since I was 10 with a 15 year hiatus after some killer injuries and life etc. Best part of BMX is that the whole family can participate. Nothing is better than watching my children progress in life and this sport teaches them many values necessary for success: Practice, Hard Work, Persistence, and Sportsmanship along with countless others. Hoping to establish a fun and productive Coaching program at Sand Springs BMX over the next couple of years. After all my sponsor Landstar Racing and Sand Springs has done for my family and I it's nice to give back to the community that has taught me so much over the years. See you at the track!
