The BMX Connect

Built by a Racer. For Racers.

The BMX Connect was born from a return to the gate.

After a 35-year break from BMX racing — last lining up in the early 80s — I found my way back to the sport during COVID. The nerves came back. The adrenaline came back. The love for racing never left.

But something else stood out.

There was a void in the market.

Finding quality BMX race parts — especially dependable used parts at fair prices — wasn’t as easy as it should have been. Racers needed a better way to buy, sell, and stay connected to the gear that keeps them competitive.

So I built it.

My name is Shannon Polk, and The BMX Connect exists to serve the BMX racing community with both new and used race parts — available online and trackside.

Why The BMX Connect Exists

BMX racing isn’t just a sport. It’s early mornings, gate practice, long motos, and chasing tenths of a second.

Equipment matters.

Whether you're building a new race bike, upgrading components, or hunting for a hard-to-find part, you deserve:

  • Quality you can trust

  • Fair pricing

  • Honest descriptions

  • Fast shipping

  • Someone who understands racing

That’s what The BMX Connect delivers.

Online & Trackside

We serve racers in two ways:

Online – Easy ordering. Secure checkout. Shipped straight to your door.
Trackside – Because sometimes you need a part right now.

Being present at the track keeps us connected to the community and to what racers actually need — not just what’s popular.

Built on Experience

Coming back after 35 years gave me perspective. I’ve seen how the bikes have evolved — lighter frames, stronger components, faster competition.

But one thing hasn’t changed:

BMX is about community.

The BMX Connect isn’t just about selling parts. It’s about supporting racers, families, and the sport that brings us together.

Our Mission

To connect BMX racers with the parts they need — new or used — through honest service, fair pricing, and a deep understanding of the sport.

Let’s Connect

Whether you're chasing podiums, building your first race bike, or returning to the sport like I did — The BMX Connect is here for you.

See you at the track.
