“Live timing on the track has elevated my personal training and racing over the years. It provides insight and gives you real time data to track, allowing you to make informed decisions in training and now on race day. Bringing in Sqorz timing to USA BMX events will be both fun and functional for racers to elevate their performance.”

We see the training session on social media, we rewatch World Cups of the past but in 2023 we finally return to Abbotsford BMX on the Canadian National circuit. The training grounds for the current and future Canada powerhouses gets the amateur battles that make the series like nothing else.
The racers waisted no time dialing in the track and as the fast first straight chared into the rest of the track, the Tangent Pro/Am racers began to look up wanting a piece of the big hill racing action. As the series and track master, Alex Tougas welcomed the challenge and ran away with the top spot points and pay, The Remix and Supercross rippers were left to batttle for the final spots on the podium with Taylor Otterson taking the Friday’s second and Josh White taking Saturday’s.
Wanting some fun of their own, the ladies joined together to make a class and keep the three meter hill company. However, they weren’t company for long, as they snapped out of the gate with Rhyan Barfoot at the helm and Zoe Witwicki in that second place spot.
From big wheel to 20” the racers were going fast throught the track and National No. 1 Women’s Cruiser, Makayla Brosius was evidence of that as she claimed her cruiser battles and fought hard on her class bike, chasing down Keiley Shea and Violet Cejalvo in 17-20x Women.
Being so close to the border the southern racers are bound to come join the fun and that they did. An influx of Washington and NorCal racers came to experience the
Canadian race day which worked out for some, but for others the Canadian speed was just too fast. This was the case in 15-16x Girls as Rhyan Barfoot kept the ball rolling from her Saturday Tangent Pro/Am win into the clas win infront of Arizona’s Hannah Leakey and Tristan Pingatore.
From Logan Lee dominating, as always Nat 1 Amateur girl Tiffany Brosius showed off her plate out front and Bethany Price jumped over the border to enjoy the action. The boys were lined up in staging taking notes on how its done before they tried it for their themselves.
The 6x rippers Ben Johanson, Warren Christensen, and Jasper Han must have been watching like hawks, because, they all shot out of the gate and never looked back. The gates kept dropping and the dominators kept coming. Dominators like 10x Grafton Merriam, “The RedRocket” Jhett Hickey in 11x, and Washington racer Caleb Durkin in 12x pinched their toes to their flats and dug out limestone under their tires lighting up the competition to the line.
The clipped in racers took some limestone off the surface too, especially with Josh Trerise and Mike Bryant battling in 17-20x looking to replace some scores for their US point chase. As the classes ramped up into the final laps of each day, the consistant laps capped out the weekend by Jake Shepherd, Steve Woodward, Brent PeeWee Lee, and Mike Albright all getting it done around the Borderline Nationals.
Hannah Leakey’s Supercross ride put down the Super laps in Abbotsford.
