The 25th Annual NORA Cup Awards are coming up quick and the time has come for you to help give away one of the most prestigious awards we have in BMX. The idea is simple. Vote for who you think had the best year. Don’t vote for your favorite rider; vote for the dude that put in the work this year. Maybe they put out a couple of heavy parts, maybe they won one of the few events that happened in the last year, maybe they dropped regular heat on Insta…maybe they did it all? You decide. Choose from the list of nominees here or use the write-in option…
You’re allowed to vote once a day.
Event Details:
We’re hyped to announce that NORA Cup will be a live event this year and it will be a wild one, as it’s taking place on Friday the 29th of October in conjunction with Florideah Swampfest (http://instagram.com/florideahswampfest). As usual, we’ll be rolling out nominees on all our channels (ourbmx.com, youtube.com/ourbmx, and instagram.com/bmx) in early October and will have coverage of the event and individual winner videos the following week after.
I also want to sincerely thank the brands that to allow NORA Cup to happen: Monster Energy, Source BMX, Cinema, Colony, Eclat, Fit Bike Co, Fly Bikes, Free Agent, Fuse Pads, GT BMX, Haro Bikes, Hyper BMX, Kink BMX, Maxxis Tires, ODI Grips, Odyssey BMX, Powers Bike Shop, Profile Racing, S&M Bikes, Shadow Conspiracy, Snafu, Stacked BMX, Sunday Bikes, and Subrosa Brand. This is a labor of love for us, but it does cost money and the brands I just listed are, quite literally, keeping it going.
Again, another sincere thank you from myself and the rest of the Our BMX crew (myself, Jeff Z, Adam Watkins, Albert Mercado, and Pat Quinn) to all of you for the support and for participating in NORA Cup. Your vote most definitely counts.
If you want to share that you voted, feel free to save/screenshot this image and post it up. Be sure to tag @bmx and #noracup. Thank you!
Brief NORA Cup History:
The Number One Rider Award was created in 1979 by BMX Action Magazine. Originally focused on racing, NORA Cup had just two categories (rider and team) but it quickly became the most prestigious award in BMX. In 1985, Freestylin’ Magazine introduced most popular freestyle rider, team, and bike categories. The NORA Cup awards ended in 1991 when the publisher of both magazines (Wizard Publications) went out of business. In 1997, Ride BMX and Snap Magazine resurrected NORA Cup and continued until Ride BMX was shuttered in early 2019. The former employees of Ride created Our BMX and continued the NORA Cup tradition…
