Supercross' Fast Family

Lighting up the USA BMX National tour with their California speed, the Gomolicke siblings are bringing their best to BMX with long careers ahead of them. Meet the Supercross BMX duo putting fast laps and fun times at the forefront of their riding sessions.

How did you start racing BMX?

Gaige: I started racing Bmx because I was playing Tball across the street and could see the track as i played so I went over to it to check it out and liked the way it looked so my mom looked up the name and found out when the next practice was and I took my bike and fell in love with it.

Sequoia: I started racing at Rusty Bowl BMX because my brothers Logan and Gaige both raced.  I was always at the track and got tired of just singing the national anthem. When I first started, I was on a strider for the first couple weeks and my mom and dad would run after me .  I hated strider because everyone would be clapping and cheering and it made me nervous. So by two and a half I was off on my peddles.

Who helped you at the track when you first started? 

Gaige: I didn’t really have anyone specific but there was a group of older guys who were good so I would watch them and want to try doing the things they did because I thought it was really cool looking.

Sequoia: My family has been on the board at the Track, so it made it easy to go and get lots of practice on the track without anybody there until I got comfortable. If it was a track night, my brothers would ride next to me just to keep other kids from running into me.

When was your first National race? 

Gaige: My first national was the Chico Golden State Nationals.

Sequoia: I think my first national race was Black Jack Nationals in Reno. 

Who do you look up to and why? 

Gaige: I look up to Bubba Harris because I loved his riding style and how he wasn’t scared to make moves on people like most pros now and it made it fun to watch videos of him riding.

Sequoia: I look up to Bethany Shriever because she’s a really hard worker. She takes the time to take pictures and talk with us younger kids and she didn’t look like she was annoyed with it. Plus I like her YouTube videos. 

What has become your favorite part of BMX racing? 

Gaige: I look up to Bubba Harris because I loved his riding style and how he wasn’t scared to make moves on people like most pros now and it made it fun to watch videos of him riding. Sequoia: My favorite part of BMX racing is hanging out with my friends and Supercross teammates. I used to like to travel but now it’s just the normal. Oh, and winning, I like to get my triple Scoops. (Thanks, Grindle, for my nickname.)

What is your biggest BMX goal?

Gaige: My biggest BMX goal is to make it to the Olympics and get World 1.

Sequoia: My goal for BMX is to make the Olympic team and win Gold for USA that would be sick.

As a member of the Factory Supercross BMX squad, how has Supercross helped you grow as BMX racers? 

Gaige: It has helped me enjoy the races more and not be so hard on myself if something doesn’t go right and as long as I try my hardest bill doesn’t care how I do all he wants is me to be having fun witch is awesome because most teams put a lot of pressure on the riders by having team sheets so it’s nice to not have that pressure.

Sequoia: I am very grateful for Bill and my other sponsors and teammates. They have really put the fun back into racing for me. I am trying to learn that it’s OK not to always win. Bill always texts me in the morning before racing to remind me to just have fun. It takes a lot of extra pressure off of me so I can just go out and enjoy my ride. 

What are your goals for the end of 2024? 

Gaige: My goal for the end of this year is to win Grands and get NAG one and top 3 in National and improve on Big Hill.

Sequoia: My goals for the end of 2024 is to do my best while having fun on my bike.
