In this episode, Brian Randolph (BioLab TM) and I sit down with Scott Felt to talk about his BMX journey, from growing up in Southern California to becoming one of the fastest riders in the 50+ classes today.
In the early days, he was riding places like Azusa, Monrovia, and Honda Hills alongside riders such as Matt Hadan, Harry Leary, and Tinker Juarez. He raced Geoff Schofield and “Chicken” George Seevers, rode for S&K Bicycles and later White Bear through the early ’90s, and stepped away from racing around 1993.
Though he left competition, he stayed connected to BMX, riding alongside his friend Derek Garcia while focusing on work and family.
After more than 20 years off, Scott returned in 2013 at the Reno National, later reconnecting with Greg Hill, who helped train his son and eventually Scott. He raced through 2017 before taking another break.
In 2024, Scott came back with a focused approach, riding alongside Lloyd Sherrod and joining BioLab under team manager Brian Randolph. He raced John Whipperman, Corky Gainsford, Kirk Landeen, and Andy Contes, moved into the 50–55 class, doubled at the ’24 Grands, and went on to win more than 40 Nationals in 2025 while managing an injury through the Grands.
We also discuss a potential matchup with multi-time European and World Champion Richard Van Zomeren in the 50+ Cruiser class and the possibility of lining up at the 2026 Worlds in Australia, along with his future goals.
