CycleCraft Photo Finish at the Florida Cup



The Factory CycleCraft team were taking no prisoners at the SSA Florida Cup final at Tampa BMX on May 19th, 2012. The day was hot but the racing was even hotter. 130+ motos of hungry BMXers gathered with only one intention - to win. With everything on the line not a single rider was holding back.

The main event was a duel between Profile Racing's Tyler Faoro and CycleCraft's Cj Mcguire. Cj surprised everyone when he blasted out of the gate and lead the entire race all the way to the final stretch. It was there that Tyler tried to make his move. The two soared towards the finish and crossed at the exact same moment. Even a photo review could not determine who won. According to the rules they went to the judges scores which gave the race to Cj Mcguire. In addition to his race day win he also took 2nd Place overall in the series.

Factory CycleCraft signs Michelle Huey



CycleCraft BMX has signed rising star Michelle Huey. This 15 year old from Cape Coral, Florida has already been an SSA Florida State Champion, an NBL National Champion, a runway model and even the 2012 Miss T.E.E.N Florida.

Michelle possesses the kind of work ethic and powerful riding skills that separates pretenders from contenders. In addition, she does volunteer work and is a straight A student at her high school. Michelle has already succeeded in so many different areas of her life so it comes as no surprise that she has earned a spot on one of the most prestigious factory teams in the country.

CycleCraft Southeast Scores Big in Dixieland

Angelo Ligotino
CycleCraft Southeast made the trek north to Powder Springs for the Dixieland Nationals. For some it was like coming home, for one it was home and for others it was a new adventure all due to the recent rebuild. For a few riders arriving early Friday morning the track was open and available for practice. This was a welcome site and full advantage was taken of it. Friday was a beautiful day for riding and seeing the familiar faces that frequent the national races. Some stayed to race on Friday night, but most loaded up and returned to the hotels for a much needed nights sleep in preparation for the next morning.

As Saturday arrived so did the ever present case of the nerves for some but they were happy to be here. That's the racing attitude of the kids on the team. Everyone looked great in practice and very prepared for what promised to be an exciting day of racing.
