FIRST PRO RACE // 2024 Sunshine State Nationals

My first pro race is in the books! I made my first pro main on Saturday with a P7, then missed the finals on Friday and Sunday by one position. Although it was a fairly successful weekend, I know I have more to show. Every lap gave me tons to learn from and improve, so we’ll analyze and be better for the next one!

[@BBB_cooper]

[@benmiller232]

[@patrickmccormack1427]

Good racing, just keep loving the process.

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Thank you! I will

[@is_it_true_2023]

thanks for making the videos they are awesome

[@seanmccolpin18]

All in all, you did great at your pro debut. Lots of learning moments but also plenty of moments that showed you can run up front. Keep working hard and pushing. You will be in the mix for your first Pro W in no time!

[@xrpnick6828]

Good job man 🤟

[@TexasTimelapse]

Great start going pro!! You have some excellent footage too!

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Thank you!

[@mattwoodruff3578]

Stay focused you did great for your first weekend 🤘

[@AshleyT18]

The yellow and red is sweet! Reminds me of Travis Pastrana’s old No fear kit back in the day. If you go back that far! 🤪🤣

[@Drawing-channel622]

On round 3 when he’s on gate you can see bary on day 1

[@bmxican9274]

Great start to your pro debut. You have all the tools. Nice job.

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Thank you!

[@ghostt2222]

I've been holding my breath since the grands when you did that interview letting it slip you were going pro. As a lot of others have said, that was a really impressive first outing. Kudos! Thanks for all the consistent content, you're a great motivator for me to do better, always looking forward to your next video!

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Thank you so much!

[@Handlebars888]

hey man, you did so awesome for your first pro races, I know all the work you've been putting in, so I get that your finishes weren't what you were entirely hoping for but this year will be amazing! I'd say you kicked it off pretty great, keep grinding Drew 💪❤

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Thank you!! I’ll keep working my way up. I appreciate it 👊

[@terrasmak]

Good stuff Drew.

[@corbettlovesbikes]

Great debut. Keep working, it’s only going to get better. 🤘

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Thank you, will do 👊

[@BackyardBMX73]

Not a bad debut. Keep at it!

[@DrewPolkBMX]

💯🙌

[@nolanthomson3955]

new kits every day? what happened to the patented Polk orange?

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Maybe we’ll have some orange ones 🤷‍♂️

[@dannyball2503]

Now everyone is really fast, I’m not sure how they do it? I’d say you did pretty good, not sure how you would train to be faster? Strong legs maybe weight training and such , plyometrics . Lots of sprint work?

[@Joner1]

Thank you for making and for sharing the video. Learning to win. Burning to...well...at least make a few pro mains. The process is underway. Good luck with everything. You were hanging and banging. The pro class is so fast and so smooth....who knew?...what a surprising shocker. Days....weeks...months....years....keep on spinning those pedals harder and faster. Hang on tight.....and ENJOY the bumpy rides.

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Thank you. It’s a new league, but it’s going to be great. I appreciate your comments 🙌

[@iLuvSlavery]

These next races r gonna be really fun to watch and see how u progress. Do u have any tips on going pro for future riders like me. I’m 13 inter rn and I’m having a tough time for motivation after grands.

[@DrewPolkBMX]

I agree. I would say to always improve your skill and comfort on the bike. Focusing on bike control is very important in my opinion.

[@iLuvSlavery]

[@Handlebars888]

@@DrewPolkBMX Oh man, that's interesting 😐 I just got some of those shoes, so I'll try not to walk too aggressively then

[@Handlebars888]

[@kevinengle4831]

[@kevinengle4831]

Pros are different ball park you kept getting pushed need push back

[@DylanSalemBMX]

This is 🔥, my name is Dylan but they call me d-rock can you come up with a KZbin name for me thanks

[@nolanthomson3955]

what about bigDrocks

[@badlarry2469]

I always enjoy your content and watching you race but, that yellow and red uniforms got to go. No offense I would just keep that as a practice uniform. Keep up the good work

[@DrewPolkBMX]

Thank you. I like it, but seems like people either love or hate it. We’ll have many more different kits this year!

[@diamond_hcr2]

terrible take everyone else loves it

[@DylanSalemBMX]

Can anyone of you make up a KZbin name for me, they call me d rock and I race bmx.😊
