While the starts were fast and furious down the first straight, it was Metro’s tight, technical layout that kept both racers and fans on edge all day.
Vet Pro: Upshaw Keeps It Fun—and Fast
Veteran Jeff Upshaw picked up right where he left off, showcasing his signature style and fierce determination. Battling it out with Nic Long, Tyler Brown, and Emilio Falla, Upshaw pulled ahead out of the pack and never looked back—claiming the top spot with flair. Brown and Long joined him on the Day One podium, proving there’s still plenty of fire in the Vet Pro ranks.
ABA Futures: Young Guns Make Their Mark
From seasoned vets to rising stars, the ABA Futures class delivered must-watch racing. In the Women’s main, Derin Merten of Tempe, AZ, chased down Alexis Alden down the second straight. After an intense elbow-to-elbow exchange, Alden went down while Merten charged to her second win of the season. On the Men’s side, NorCal’s Ryder Santos dominated with a commanding performance, holding off strong rides from Matthew Weerts, Marshall Gherke, and teammate Chris Felker.
Women Pro: Molly Simpson Strikes Again
With the crowd buzzing before the Women Pro main event, the stage was set for a new name to take the win. Canada’s Molly Simpson answered the call, powering out of the gate and leading wire-to-wire aboard her Daylight Cycles ride. A fan of Metro’s energy, Simpson’s victory marked a full-circle moment, echoing her first-ever Pro win at this very track in 2022. She was joined on the podium by Lauren Reynolds and Lexis Colby—both now eyeing a shot at dethroning the early season leader.
Men Pro: Rookie Josh Jolly Delivers a Statement Win
In a breakout performance, Rookie Pro Josh Jolly made the 2025 Golden State Nationals unforgettable, notching his first Men Pro win in front of an electrified crowd. After a standout showing at the season opener, Jolly left no doubt with a lightning-quick first straight, earning the Answer BMX Holeshot award and sealing a dominant main event victory. Behind him, Mongoose’s Cam Wood secured his third podium of the year, while teammate Jordan Callum celebrated his first.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, Day One wrapped with celebrations, lessons learned, and racers already preparing to do it all again. Day Two promises more battles, more speed, and more moments to remember at the USA BMX Golden State Nationals.
