Totally unjustified by my skill - I got this amazing bike
I picked up this Yess World Cup with the matching Reach forks used a few weeks ago. It immediately got my best wheelset (Chris King hubs) and crankset (Cliq Weaponz)
First race on it was a little rough - I didn't make the main event. I'm loving this bike - since then I've done quite well. The front comes up nice, it's fitting great, and I just enjoy riding this Canadian-made, top-level aluminum race bike.
Context - I started BMX racing 4 years ago (at age 40) when my kids did. North of 45, we only get 6 month seasons, so try to squeeze a lot in. I've done okay and won a few races at my level (first Novice, now Intermediate) and started helping coach some new rider / Novice clinics.
Yess World Cup - at rest

So funny enough, there is - 61-65 & 66+ Cruiser. The 66+ is new this year.
Oldest class for the 20" is 56+, I think.
Looking at your location in Thornhill - you have Stouffville and Milton as track options. Come on out, it's a hoot. And both of those tracks are top quality.
