Joshua Fagerness Wins Let It Ride 5, Rises to Third in USA EUC National Championship Standings

EUC Pro Men podium decided by razor-thin margins at Boulder City, Nev.; electric unicycle racers converge in the Nevada desert for this fifth annual event

BOULDER CITY, Nev., April 2, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Joshua Fagerness of Rochester, Washington crossed the finish line first at Let It Ride 5, held March 27-29 at Boulder City, Nevada. USA EUC – the national sanctioning body for competitive electric unicycle racing – announced the results of the event, the third stop on the 2026 USA EUC National Championship Circuit, following King of the Motos and King of the Hammers.

EUC – electric unicycle – is a self-balancing single-wheeled electric vehicle built for performance. Modern competition models feature full suspension and can reach speeds exceeding 50 mph, placing them firmly in motorsport territory despite their compact form.

The EUC Pro Men podium was separated by just over three seconds across all three positions:

1st place — Joshua Fagerness — 1:37.001
2nd place — Justin Davis — 1:40.012
3rd place — Zac Darnell — 1:40.018

Let It Ride 5, organized by WheelZen Rides owner Joe Cantalicio, drew approximately 60 competitors and 40 spectators to the Nevada desert for the fifth annual event. Riders competed from across the United States, including Washington, California, Nevada, and Hawaii.

The course, known for its technical desert terrain and a signature obstacle called the “Monstah” – a steep, loose descent that has reshaped itself each year as riders push its limits – presented a physical and mental challenge that set the tone for the entire weekend. Cantalicio, who has been building and expanding the course by hand for several years, described his design philosophy plainly: “I don’t put anything on the course that I don’t ride myself.”

Fagerness’s path to the podium was not straightforward. He drove overnight from Washington state, arriving in Las Vegas hours before race day. His teammate, Isaac Bonaventure, had sustained a concussion in a crash the previous day and spent the night in the hospital. Fagerness was with him through it, then showed up to race – only to miss qualifying. He had to win a Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ), a sudden-death round for riders who failed to qualify outright, just to reach the final. He entered that final on a taped knee and left with the win.

Pre-race favorite Zac Darnell of Folsom, California had posted the fastest qualifying time and was making his third appearance at Let It Ride. Darnell took the lead off the start in the final, but lost the line on a descent of the Monstah, allowing Fagerness to thread through and take a lead he would not give back. Justin Davis crossed the line second. Darnell recovered to finish third.

Zac Darnell leads the USA EUC National Championship standings with 15.55 points, followed by Justin Davis at 19.39 and Fagerness at 25.58. In USA EUC championship scoring, lower points indicate better standing. Fagerness, who podiumed at King of the Motos and won Let It Ride 5, is among the most in-form riders heading into the next event.

Davis, who finished second in the race and sits second in the national standings, remained focused on the championship. “I’m not going to stop racing and ripping and pushing the sport forward,” Davis said after the race. “If these guys want to win, they know they’re going to have to get through me.”

Fagerness, who has been riding an electric unicycle for less than two years, rode a KingSong F18 to victory. He described his approach to the final in direct terms: “I knew in order to win it was going to take everything I had. So I just gave it everything I had.”

Let It Ride 5 was the third stop on the 10-event USA EUC National Championship Circuit. The circuit continues with Westworld Nationals at Arizona Bike Week in Scottsdale, Ariz., April 10-12, 2026.

Beaverton Motorcycles Riders Win Big at Daytona

BEAVERTON, Ore., May 14, 2025 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — March 10th at the 2025 Daytona American Flat Track races, two of the Pacific Northwest’s finest, Kody Kopp and Davis Fisher, came home with hardware. Kody Kopp clinched 1st place in AFT Singles, continuing his dominance as a 3-time back-to-back champion. Kopp raced his KTM 450 SX-F to the top spot. Davis Fisher took 3rd in AFT SuperTwins in his Daytona debut on the KTM 790 Duke, Beaverton Motorcycles announced today.

Though 2,514 miles away, Bob Lanphere Jr. took the trip and couldn’t have been prouder. Beaverton Motorcycles, the first dealership to carry the Lanphere name, has been a cornerstone of the community for over 60 years. Today, that legacy continues as BMC sponsored rider, Kody Kopp, brings home the gold at Daytona.

What ties Bob Lanphere Jr., Kody Kopp, and Davis Fisher together isn’t just their impressive performances on the track—it’s the love of racing passed down from their fathers.

Beaverton Motorcycles first sponsored Davis Fisher when he was just 10 years old. Now, 18 years later, he continues to represent BMC. But Davis wasn’t the first Fisher to be supported by BMC—his father, Rex Fisher, was originally sponsored by the dealership back in 2006.

Similarly, Kody Kopp’s journey is fueled by the same passion. Following in the footsteps of his father, Joe Kopp, a former Grand National Champion with a distinguished racing career of his own, Kody is now building his own legacy in the sport. As he follows in his father’s path, Kody strives to achieve greatness and continue the family tradition of success in American Flat Track racing.

Motorcycling is more than just a sport – it’s a family legacy. This weekend at Daytona, we saw that legacy shine through. From Bob Sr. opening a motorcycle shop driven by his passion for the community, to Bob Lanphere Jr. sponsoring the 1st place champion of the 2025 Daytona AFT races, the spirit of racing runs deep.

The love for American Flat Track racing was passed down from Rex Fisher to Davis at just 3 ½ years old. The champions torch was passed from Joe Kopp to Kody who is carving his path to greatness, continuing a tradition that spans generations.

The performances at Daytona speak volumes about the strength of the riding community and the enduring power of family traditions. These riders aren’t just honoring their roots – they’re inspiring the next generation to race with the same heart, dedication, and passion that have been passed down through the years.

Brazilian Flat Track League organizes online race for 2020

SOROCABA, SP, Brazil /ScoopCloud/ -- It's not a secret that Covid-19 had 2020 pretty much canceled all over, affecting some of the major events in the USA and abroad, but has also brought people together and fired up new ways for connecting and exchanging ideas, says the Brazilian Flat Track League.

In Brazil, the two biggest custom motorcycle shows - the BMS (Brasil Motorcycle Show) and the Lucky Friends Rodeo - had to be canceled, and with it, the races for the recently created Brazilian Flat Track League. Or, so we thought.

In an effort to not let the sport lose momentum, the Brazilian Flat Track League, the organizers from BMS, and Lucky Friends Rodeo got together to keep the competition going and fire up the teams and racers with an online event that promises to bring the excitement of the race to the audience's screens: the "On Track."

On November 1, 2020, at 1 p.m. (ET/EST), flat track fans worldwide will be able to tune in online and watch "On Track," the first Brazilian flat track race event to be offered online. Viewers will get a taste of how the sport is creating roots among racers and motorcycle enthusiasts in Brazil.

To broadcast the event, the Brazilian FT League will use the platform http://netshow.me/.

Anybody can sign up to watch the race for free, but numbers are limited, so the organizers recommend the public to sign up as soon as possible using the link https://videos.netshow.me/t/rNl0-BRe9ls/form (there is an English option for singing up at the bottom of the page).

"Everything changed. People are finding new ways to work, to support their favorite restaurants and bars, to be together in general. So why not bring the adrenaline of flat track racing right to the safety of their homes?" says Cezinha Mocelin, founder of BMS Motorcycle. "With an online event, not only are we still making sure the sport keeps growing in Brazil, but we are also guaranteeing the safety of the fans, the racers, and all the team members."

The "On Track" organizers are following all WHO (World Health Organization) recommendations for the participants of the race: health check booths and Covid-19 tests for racers, team members, and production crew, and lots of masks. The race will happen in Sorocaba, SP - Brazil.

Flat Track in Brazil

Flat track races are relatively new in Brazil. The category started to gain popular attention in 2016, at the Lucky Friends Rodeo event, and then with the BMS Motorcycle. With more of a roots appeal and an underground vibe, it quickly gathered momentum among the motorcycle community and the custom culture fans.

In 2019, it became an official race class in the country with the creation of the Brazilian Flat Track League and its first season of official competitions. The League has not only pushed the popularity further, with more media coverage, sponsors, sanctioned events but also gave flat track racing legitimacy in Brazil.

By the beginning of 2020, flat track season in Brazil was shaping up to be the greatest yet, starting in March when a group of nine racers and 12 people from Brazil came to the US for the weekend of FlatOutFriday and Mama Tried, in Milwaukee - Wisconsin.

"Even though the event didn't happen as expected, the time our group had in Milwaukee was crucial for Brazilian flat track. It allowed us to connect even more with other teams and with industry players. We did the best we could under the circumstances at the time, and in the end, we came back to Brazil with a lot accomplished," says Chrys Miranda, Brazilian racer and one of the founding members of the Brazilian Flat Track League.

One of the most significant announcements once "OnTrack" was confirmed, was the addition of the new Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 Flat Track class to the race; besides the traditional H-D Sportster and the H-D Antique hardtail classes.

BMS Motorcycle and Lucky Friends Rodeo

The collaboration between BMS and Lucky Friends Rodeo isn't new. Combining lifestyle, custom culture, attractions like the only Wall of Death in South America, music, art, bike building exhibits, and, of course, races, both events bring together over 20 thousand fans.

"Nothing better than combining our forces to bring to our public and to the fans of Flat Track a new experience. We are preparing a great event, so the audience will be able to feel all the adrenaline from the race straight from their homes", said Flavio Sieber, founder of Lucky Friends Rodeo.
