I first began racing BMX in 1978 at the age of 5 in on a track behind my fathers bike shop in Niagara Falls NY. I raced at a local and national level for 10 years before leaving the sport. In 2011 I returned to introduce my daughters to the sport I loved so much as a child and could not resist the temptation to get back on the track. I am now an Expert and Cruiser rider for Powers Bike Shop and recently raced at the 2014 UCI World Championships making it to the 1/8th semi. I am a USABMX Certified coach and the Track Operator for Richmond BMX where I dedicate countless hours to the sport I love so much.

Well, I currently ride in the 41-45 expert class, but started racing in 1984 at a NPSA track in St. Pete FL with my older bro Kirk (owner of J&R, hints the sponsor hook-up). Soon after my younger brother, Bert, and my dad started racing as well. My dad purchased a small local bike shop with like 12 bikes in it in 1990. Soon after we started vending and traveling to more races - good times! I decided to give Superclass (A-pro) a try when I turned 18. I wasn't really that fast and couldn't jump a pro section to save my life, but it was the most fun and that's all that matters. I joined the Marine Corps in 1997, but continued to race whenever I could for the next 8 years. I raced while I was stationed in Japan for a year - that was pretty awesome. The Marine Corps even sponsored a few of us, sending us to the Worlds and Grands one year. I got out of the Marines in 2005 and settled in northern Virginia were I continue to enjoy riding and racing with friends. BMX is more than just riding bikes, it's family, friends and a way of life.

My name is Parker Respass and I race in the 9x class. I am from Suffolk, Virginia, and Hampton BMX is my home track. I started racing in July 2013, right after I turned 7. I asked for money for my my birthday and bought a bike and have been racing ever since. I love to travel all over to race!
