J&R Co-Sponsored Team of the Month
Elevate Racing
Introducing Elevate Racing! While this BMX team may not have a huge roster, they do have loads of heart and tons of fun. Currently, Elevate has nine riders on their team ranging in ages 4 years old (Team Captain Remi) up through 40 years old and they are always open to new members. “They have to fit in with our existing members and like to have fun and enjoy the sport,” Team Manager Nick Bricker explains, “We like to keep it tight and like a family.” The team got its start when moving on from a previous team and came together naturally. “A few of the kids wanted to stay together so we jokingly said we should start our own team,” Nick remembers, “One thing led to another, and our team was born!”
The Elevate Racing team values the time they can spend together on and off the track. “Every moment we have as team is special,” Nick remarks, “We celebrate every time we get together. It's a true family atmosphere.” Looking down the track, their upcoming plans are to continue to have fun and grow together as a team. Elevate is also gearing up for some exciting races ahead. “We are planning on attending a good amount of Nationals & Gold Cup Qualifiers over the Spring & Summer months,” says Nick.
We are proud to have Elevate Racing as part of the J&R family and wish you all the best of luck!
