Come 2020, Preston has had a very successful 1st year in BMX despite the obstacles and effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic coupled with some personal development and hurdles as an advancing rider. He has persevered and is navigating through the ins and outs of BMX quite well. Preston seems to have truly found his niche in the BMX world of sports and is excelling as a BMX rider, starting the 2020 season as a Novice rider and ending the 2020 season as an Expert rider.

I started racing in April of 2018 at age 13 on my redline pro xxl. After hearing all of my dad's BMX racing stories I was hooked and had to make my own stories. I won my first 6 races at my local track, Whittier Narrows BMX. I was recruited by the Whittier Narrows/Young Guns BMX Team in September of 2019. In January 2020, I recieved a sponsorship from Factory Bassett, Pedal Power and Technique Bmx out of Riverside, CA, just after my move up to Intermediate at age 14. I won my very first National race in Las Vegas at the Silver Dollar Nationals in 2020 at South Point Casino. Current point standings I am number 8 in district, number 2 in state. After classing and aging up just after Grands in Vegas things got real really fast. My goals for 2022 are to secure a place in Semi’s and possibly main’s at Nationals in class and cruiser. I currently ride the very first production Factory Bassett xxxl custom painted frame with serial #00001. I am currently co-sponsored by Answer, Technique, Peddle power and WBR (Wheels Built Right) and Ame grips. I also ride Cruiser class with my Factory Bassett frame with Answer forks and all Technique and Bassett components. I currently train with Emilio Falla, and have trained with Robert Dewild and Christian Bercerine. I am currently working on training for the 2022 Grands.

I started riding BMX in the Fall of 2023 at Hornets Nest BMX. I love riding my BMX bike and my mountain bike. I got my 10th Novice win at my first Gold Cup Race this April! I have a twin sister who plays soccer and finally decided to join me racing BMX. We are both really happy that we are not racing in the same class anymore. I love that my parents take us to ride BMX and do things that we love.
