San Antonio Defenders/Supercross BMX Team

Alright...the first weekend of the Texas State Championship Series is a wrap, and Defenders/Supercross riders showed up in force!

On a freakishly windy Saturday, Lone Star BMX put on a show at our team's home track. "Mean Joaquin" threw down with a big 1st place! Jackson "Cool J" dropped some jaws with his absolute most BLAZING performance to date. Dr. Jones, Carter Kleven, Savannah Kleven and Lily Westley showed up and rocked the house...as did Max McKinney after some time off his bike. Meanwhile, Effie Westley did her thing...winning it all. Xavier "X-Man" may be one of the newest Inter riders, but he served notice to his comp that he has arrived!

The State Race circus moved to Capitol City BMX in Austin from there, and Sunday the team kept on rollin'...

Beau Dent smoked the 14i class...getting one step closer to his destiny in the 14x class!

Speaking of experts, Colton "The Sheriff" showed he belonged and can threaten the podium, along with fellow Defenders National rider Jocee Aguilera.

After suffering grade 2 wrist/grade 1 forearm sprain in the first moto Saturday, Sarah "The Flying Chipmunk" defied Dad's strong suggestion that she sit out, wrapped up her arm and proved to her comp what she's made of. We had seen in Friday night's prerace that she's still the champ, and it's a long season ahead...

The great thing about BMX is how kids who race when they're young build the courage, grit and good character to turn whatever they touch as adults into gold. It's SO much fun to witness this happening with all these kids.

What's more, we've really built a team of the nicest and most positive families one could ever expect. It's an honor to be under the same tent with y'all!

Big thanks to Lone Star BMX and Capitol City BMX for putting on a great show, despite being the "guinea pigs" for the full-gate total points system...which as of Monday has already been mitigated (miti-gated?) by USABMX. Expect the rest of the series to be xfer system. But man...kudos to Jill Kingslien and the scorers/trophy folks at BOTH tracks for doing the near impossible...especially in 50mph wind on Saturday!

Also, major kudos to Eddie Fernandez for taking all of those great photos of the event and giving them out absolutely FREE.

As always, BIG thanks also to our title sponsor Bill Ryan at Supercross BMX. FLY Racing Bike and Ray Hudson have also been there since the beginning, for which we are grateful.

The '24 USA BMX season is officially a wrap. and Defenders/Supercross riders came up BIG.

At least five top three state plates (Colton Dent, Beau Dent, Effie Westley, Sarah McKay), a regional Gold Cup champ (Effie Westley) and three district top three plates (Effie Westley, Sarah McKay). It was big fun all year to see everyone on the team's skills progress.

Here's to a great '25 out there on the track!

As always, big thanks to our home track , and to our title sponsor Bill Ryan and Supercross BMX. Everyone I've ever seen get on a Supercross bike goes faster immediately.

Also, massive thanks to all of our sponsors, which I'm stoked to say now includes Maxxis Tires!

Pit area all set up!

7 expert girl Effie Westley is J&R Rider of the Month, and well-deserved! Go, Effie, go!

J&R Co-Sponsored Riders of the Month-August 2024 – J&R Bicycles, Inc. Both of these awesome riders were nominated by their team managers and coaches for their exceptional efforts and achievements. Read a bit more about these BMX stars in this month's Riders of the Month blog!

Congrats to champions Saya Sakakibara and Joris Daudet...both of whom were clearly the riders to beat on this day! Well deserved!

P.S. This is a picture of "The Flying Chipmunk" with Saya back in '17...before anyone knew either of their names! LOL

For the '23 season, Sarah "The Flying Chipmunk" won the overall USA BMX district championship #1 plate for the 3rd time (!).

The plate and the jacket came in the mail and look GREAT this year.

Granted, it's EARLY in the season, but so far for '24 Sarah is hanging on to the points lead in district, state AND region on both her 20" and 24" Supercross BMX bikes!

Go Sarah Go!

Proud to call Lone Star BMX home as part of the San Antonio Defenders/Supercross BMX Team!

The San Antonio Defenders/Supercross BMX Team was finally fully-outfitted and in full effect this past weekend...appropriately as we stepped up to "defend" our USA BMX home track Lone Star BMX!

Despite it being the team's official statewide debut, we had at least SEVEN big wins and a whole lot of other podiums. Two riders upclassed, and we also saw several kiddos who recently turned Inter really crush it in their new classes!

It's big fun to represent Supercross BMX in Texas...where a rival brand has been dominant in team comp for several years now. Thanks to some fast riding AND great sportsmanship, SX is in the house!

But best of all, look at all these smiles for miles on the team members' faces in their sharp new threads. What a great group...and we all LOVE being part of something bigger.



We can't possibly shout out our gratitude for our amazing co-sponsors nearly enough. All of them are our absolute first choice, as we wouldn't get outfitted any other way: FLY Racing Bike J&R Bicycles Ryno Power Sports Supplements ODI Grips Nickstickers HRP Designs Action Sports Canopies Action Bikes LDC BMX Fist Handwear SPY Skullcandy OGIO Slick Products Mini Moto Mojo - Charm Your Way To Victory Motul Fuel Clothing
