2023 UCI BMX World Cup Rounds 3 & 4 // Papendal, Netherlands

That’s it for World Cup Rounds 3&4 and my Europe trip.
Day 1 ended with a crash in the quarter. Day 2 ended with a bad lap in the 1/16 final.
Far from happy with the weekend and my riding, but good to be heading back home to regroup and prepare for the next one.
Thanks to everyone who made this possible. I have lots to learn from to improve for the future. We’ll get there.

[@tonycyclone8810]

I don't know if anybody else noticed this but the dude in all black with blue shoes came unclipped at 4:59 and AGAIN at 5:07 and both times he saved it! Crazy. Love your vids. I started my racing career 11/19/22 and your videos are really educational for me. I watch them (often) with the sound off and at .25 playback speed. Good luck in Reno!

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Haha I was talking about that with him afterwards, it was crazy! Thank you, I’m glad my videos are useful!

[@viruzhd2875]

Dramatically seeing the changes in your attitude while racing this weekend. Where’s the hunger? Where’s the balls? Day 2 last round, last corner should’ve been all gas no brakes. If it were a usabmx national you wouldn’t have thought twice. Learn from it, cause you only get some many of these before your done with the sport. All love, no hate. You got what it takes kid. Just a real one speaking from experience.

[@DrewPolkBMX]

No brakes were hit, my back end slid and made me lose all my speed. The riders here aren’t the same level as at USABMX races, they’re smarter and faster. The rider blocked it well and put me in a bad position. The mistakes in that lap came much earlier than that, so it’s all on me. I appreciate your concerns though 🙌
