WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2K26

What is up YouTube? I got the podium here in the background. We're at the 2026 UCI BMX World Championships here in Brisbane, Australia. It's been two years since I've been to a world, so I missed last year, so I really want to make a mark here. I'm very limited to what I can film this week. I'm only going to be able to film just today's practice on the helmet cam, so I'm going to try to make the most of it. But yeah, I'm really excited to show you guys what it looks like, take you guys through a little track session, and then move towards the week and towards the weekend where we race. So yeah, let's get into it. Great session out here. Just finished practice. We're going to get some food and then head back to the hotel and take a chill pill. But yeah, great session. Working on my gates a little bit. They're feeling a lot more confident today. I figured out these turns. So yeah, I just got to work on the straights a little bit, a little more gates in the next few days, and racing soon. We got a couple more days. Let's go. Oh, Friday's on the horizon. We're doing laundry back here, as you can see. It's coming up quick, but we just got our accreditation so we can get in. I'm going to show you guys. We got our name tag, and this is how we scan to get into the pit areas. And then we also have the plate. Plate is dialed in. And then we also got a couple more things that we're going to use, as well as some tourist attractions here. But yeah, Friday tomorrow, official practice. Things are starting to get serious. And while we're here, I almost forgot. Huge shout out to Rockstar Energy and Fly Racing for getting this here on time. I'm so excited to try the new helmet. New colors. New helmet completely, actually. It has a circle around the Rockstar logo. Yeah, check this thing out. All right, well, we didn't quite make it to practice day. It is like, let's look. 109 a.m. right now. The fire alarms went off. Someone left steam on in their shower, opened the door, triggered it, and that is the scariest fire alarm sound. Look it up. Fire alarm sound Australia. Holy cow. Scariest sound of my life. I brought my passport down and everything. I thought this was it. And we're on the seventh floor, so we had to walk all the way down. But false alarm got lucky. So let's try this again. Let's get to practice day. All right, it is officially race day. We made it through. All right, it is officially race day. We made it through the night. No fire alarms tonight, so we got lucky or I guess not. But we made it through and it is officially time to go. We got practice in about an hour and a half and then racing is going to kick off. So we have our Moto 1 today in our eighth finals. So let's get it. Well, we're leaving the facility now. Quick little update. Pretty rough first round. It was stacked, but I was my own enemy in that one. I just didn't quite have it. And then, yeah, made it back in the O.C.Q., found my groove, had a solid gate. So I just was a little nervous coming down the last straight. I didn't want to get blown up in the turn because there's a triple, triple, triple line you can jump, which is a lot faster. But if you do that, you could get high load or something. So I just wanted to play it safe. Lost a little bit of ground, though, but it's all good. So we're into the quarterfinals tomorrow. And then, yeah, we got two more laps to get to that main. Let's do it. Well, now you guys would be expecting to see some race clips, but I do not have any for you. As you guys know, as well, when you guys watch this video, you'll see, you would have already seen that the race is either canceled or not canceled. I don't know yet, but we are waiting. It is like 2 p.m. They're going to make an announcement here in a minute. We're going to see if we're racing. I don't know. It's very windy. It's a lot calmer, the track, actually. So fingers crossed. We're going to see if we're racing. I think they're announcing it right now. So I'm about to find out. I will let you guys know. I guess we're making this part of the video. It doesn't look like a race, but I don't know. They're out there measuring the wind with a stick. They're holding it up. I don't know. We'll see. All right, guys. Back at the hotel. That's it. That's all I got for you. I got no more clips. I mean, yeah, they canceled it. We can't believe it. We're all heartbroken. There was definitely really high winds today. It was not safe to ride, but I believe they definitely should have prepped better. We knew this was coming. We knew it was going to happen. And yeah, that's it. So I'm not really sure what to say. Racing is over. We're going to try again next year, I guess. But yeah, guys, I wish I had more clips for you. I wish I was able to put myself in the man as I know I could have. But yeah, that's going to be it. UCI made the decision, and that's that. So I wish I had more clips for you guys. But ultimately, thank you guys for watching so much. I appreciate it. It was a great trip. Just wish we could have finished on a good note. So that being said, see you guys later. Peace.
