Old school rider getting back into it because of kids and fun.

"Ninja Soup" Update:2017 Still a newbie.... Took about a year + off due to a fall on the track. Fluke thing but broke a few bones. Back at it this year thanks to much support & encouragement!! Never exposed to the sport until I met my husband... what can I say except ... I get it! Meeting so many awesome ppl & learning so much. This isn't as easy as others make it look So respect to all of you!! Thanks too everyone that helps me train, lends advice & just goes out and has fun! TNT bicycles ... check it out!!

I started racing in the late 80's. I raced for a couple of years then stopped. I just started back July of 2014 because my 9 year old son took interest in riding. I enjoy riding and the wonderful bmx family.

Hornet's Nest is listed as my home track but it is NOT. My home track is Tanglewood BMX located in Clemmons, NC. I started racing after 15 years of track operator and/or volunteer at local and national level. Love riding the 20 and chasing the younger riders in my class. Thanks to Justin Posey and my son Seth for all the information that they have given me to improve my riding. At 59 years old I am like a 10 year old as I learn and try new stuff- overjoyed and giddy!!!

I first began racing BMX in 1978 at the age of 5 in on a track behind my fathers bike shop in Niagara Falls NY. I raced at a local and national level for 10 years before leaving the sport. In 2011 I returned to introduce my daughters to the sport I loved so much as a child and could not resist the temptation to get back on the track. I am now an Expert and Cruiser rider for Powers Bike Shop and recently raced at the 2014 UCI World Championships making it to the 1/8th semi. I am a USABMX Certified coach and the Track Operator for Richmond BMX where I dedicate countless hours to the sport I love so much.

BMX racing is my life. I have over 35 years experience in the sport. From being both a top National caliber racer ( Many District #1's, NAG, and National Plates, and Gold Cup West Champion) and managing/officiating events on the district, state, regional, national, and World Cup levels. I have gained invaluable experience in the BMX racing world both on and off the track. I have also completed all the requirements to become an International Commissaire for (UCI) Union Cyclist International and have managed several International BMX events in the USA and South America. I have also been involved officiating many BMX World Cup events as well as both the 2008 and 2012 USA Olympic Trials for BMX and Team USA. I also attend the 2012 Olympics in London for BMX. I deal with the who's who in the BMX industry pretty much on a daily basis. I'm in tune with what's going on in the BMX racing world. I help make it happen every day. I'm a great player on an awesome team!

(From the 2010 NATIONAL BMX HALL OF FAME Ceremnoy) Few industries have a person so well known and respected that one name suffices in identifying them. In the music biz, there's Bono, Cher and Madonna. And in BMX, we have "gOrk." (usually spelled with a small "g," and capital 'O.") As someone who has raced since 1976 - at age 13, on both the local and national level (UBR National No.1 sidehack three years running), rode-in and promoted freestyle shows in its infancy, worked in the warehouse at CW Racing, and served as Editor of both the iconic BMX ACTION and ABA`s BMXer Magazines, before becoming marketing director of Redline BIcycles for 11 years - it's safe to say that gOrk has made his mark on nearly every era of our sport It was during the 90's - with the ABA, when he began doodling the characters known as Juan Hander & Noah Footer - which are currently in the process of being scanned an retouched for a series of books. In 1999, after 10 years with ABA, gOrk moved to the Pacific Northwest to join Seattle Bike Supply as the Director of Marketing for their flagship brand, Redline Bicycles. It was there, with the red, white and black that he assembled some of the greatest Redline riders in the brand's history - from Bubba Harris to Kim Hayashi, to Sam Willoughby, Alise Post and Jason Carne$. In 2011, gOrk returned to Arizona to work for USA BMX as their Chief Communications Officer, where he is managing editor of PULL and in charge of all social media and website communication with the members of USA BMX.

Raced ABA from 1996-2000, back for my second try at this awesome sport. Proud to be riding for FORTRESS Racing during the 2015 season. Sponsors: Hyper, Snafu, Profile Racing, FLY, Answer ODI, Alienation, EVS, Star BMX Products, Stile Industries, Fellowship of Christian Athletes
