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.

Nothing beats getting a top tier bike. Especially when you can feel and appreciate the difference. I've slowly upgraded my race bikes by catching deals at the track at the end of the season. Looking rad out there!

This bike looks amazing, thanks for showing it to us. For a while now, I've been constantly looking to upgrade my bikes even though I don't compete in races.
