Japanese Striders Draw a Huge Crowd

Florida Cup races brought in 30+ Strider racers

If you were surprised at the sudden emergence of the smallest and cutest class in BMX, you shouldn't be. Strider tracks are popping up at BMX tracks all around the country. Striders were racing at the Pro Cycling Challenge road race in Colorado last year, they are at every USA BMX National this year and we saw them at all of our Florida Cup races.

You can even see them in the latest issue of

CycleCraft Photo Finish at the Florida Cup

The Factory CycleCraft team were taking no prisoners at the SSA Florida Cup final at Tampa BMX on May 19th, 2012. The day was hot but the racing was even hotter. 130+ motos of hungry BMXers gathered with only one intention - to win. With everything on the line not a single rider was holding back.

The main event was a duel between Profile Racing's Tyler Faoro and CycleCraft's Cj Mcguire. Cj surprised everyone when he blasted out of the gate and lead the entire race all the way to the final stretch. It was there that Tyler tried to make his move. The two soared towards the finish and crossed at the exact same moment. Even a photo review could not determine who won. According to the rules they went to the judges scores which gave the race to Cj Mcguire. In addition to his race day win he also took 2nd Place overall in the series.

First, apologies for missing the last few race reports, the team reporter took a vacation to the islands to complete some stealth training before the Florida Cup championship. Here are a few highlights from the April and May qualifiers:

Factory CycleCraft signs Michelle Huey

CycleCraft BMX has signed rising star Michelle Huey. This 15 year old from Cape Coral, Florida has already been an SSA Florida State Champion, an NBL National Champion, a runway model and even the 2012 Miss T.E.E.N Florida.

Michelle possesses the kind of work ethic and powerful riding skills that separates pretenders from contenders. In addition, she does volunteer work and is a straight A student at her high school. Michelle has already succeeded in so many different areas of her life so it comes as no surprise that she has earned a spot on one of the most prestigious factory teams in the country.
