Solon Bicycle Racing

Andy Pauken

Andy's a lifelong cyclist who went 0 to 100 with BMX within the past few years.  His passion and dedication shines bright like a diamond.  Everyone has been keeping a keen eye on this ripper and most have witnessed that a good work ethic rarely goes unnoticed.  Big things are ahead for this rockstar!

John Pullman

John started racing in the early 80s and quickly changed gears to start freestyling.  30ish years later, he has revived his passion and it truly shows in his racing performance.  We wouldn't have assembled this team had it not been for John's desire to start racing again.  Thanks, John!

Bryan Chapdelaine

Bryan is new to racing BMX, but not new to all things extreme!  Spending many years as a rollerblader, skater, BMX park rider, and wakeboarder...racing was a purely natural next step.  Like most things, Bryan instantly took to the sport and has been having a blast ever since!

Danny Sirkin

Having raced only 4 times in the mid-80s, and not being very good at it, Danny never even thought twice about entering another track. Switching to flatland freestyle for the past 34 years seemed to make more sense. But after John's nudge to race, he was hooked.  This is BMX in it's purest form and he has been having a great time riding, hanging out, and getting to know the awesome extended BMX family at the local track.

Nick Capp

Nick has become quite a powerhouse in his class. This dude rides more than most and is just as comfortable on his race bike as he is on his dirt jumper. Never underestimate the bowling ball!

Bike - Haro Carbon Citizen XXL

Paul Priebe

Paul started as a racer then quickly turned flatlander, much like many of us. His daughter had an interest in racing so he joined the fun. Since then, Paul has been on fire, making podium at almost every race he attends!

Thomas Brenner

Thomas is like a quiet storm on the race track. He doesn't say much throughout the day, as he's more of an "actions speak louder than words" kinda guy. Thomas is s super fast expert who has quite the tendency to make podium at every race he attends!

Jamie Sinyard

Jamie is our Canadian brutha from anotha mutha!  A former flatlander as well, Jamie is sharpening his chops at various Toronto tracks as we speak.  Jamie also runs his own apparel company that is co-sponsoring  our team.  Check it out at https://hyoh.ca/

Scotty Richmond

Scotty made his re-entry into BMX racing in late 2019 and has been on a mission ever since. He's been giving his competitors a serious run for their money 3-4 times a week at various tracks around the region. Scotty's extreme dedication to training and getting faster shines through every time the gate drops!

Scott Carlson

Scott started riding in the 80s, like many of us. Back then, we rode everything from flatland to kick-turn ramps. In the 90s, Scott found his new home at the original Chenga skatepark and quickly became one of the most talented mini-ramp riders that came out of the area. After a toothpick gone wrong in the early 200s, he took some time off to heal. Scott made his re-entry into BMX, only this time, as a racer. He took to it rather quickly and has been getting faster with every gate drop!

Tony Manus

Tony was a track dad for the first few seasons of BMX. After sitting on the sidelines for some time, he decided to give racing a go. His dedication and determination shines through every week as he gets faster with every race. We are excited to see Tony grow as a BMX athlete and can't wait to cheer him on when he makes his intermediate debut!

Judah Chapdelaine

Son of Bryan, Judah is naturally a tiny hotshot at the track!  This little munchkin has been on fire lately and seems to have a secret gas pedal hidden somewhere on his bike!

Paige Priebe

Paige the rage is fast. Faster than she should be for being so new at this. But who cares, right? The kid is a natural! She started not too long ago, quickly bumped classes, and continues to dazzle people every time the gate drops.

Vinny Manus

The kid's got hustle. Part racer, part deep-thinker, V-Smooth is always making moves. His love for BMX is evident every time you see him shred the track. 

Bike - Chase Element

Jacob Pauken

Sneaky fast yet questionably quiet.....this little stylecat loves to trick out on the track, all with a silky-smooth flow. Jacob always has fun on his bike and his riding is a pure reflection of that!

Chad Reusch

Once a racer, always a racer! Chad started racing in the 90s so he could take some time off to become a family man and beard grower. This dude races both classes at almost every race - the guy is unstoppable!

Cassidy Reusch

This little lady is one spectacular bike rider! Some might say she gets that from her dad while others would say it's because she's a fierce competitor! Cass always gives 110% every time the gate drops and we love watching her grow as a little racing superstar!

Marley Frank

She may be known as Max's little sister to some, but around these parts, she's known as the girl that the boys can't catch up to! Fast and fearless are two words that best describe Marley's riding style. These two kooks are always a blast to hang with in the pits.  

Max Frank

Max started racing earlier this year after being introduced to BMX by way of Ray's Bike Park. This little track assassin has gotten quite comfy on the podium and he does it all while shredding it up on his 18" Haro Downtown freestyle bike.
