Let's look back on Tristyns Q & A 👇
✨️ Tristyn Kronk ✨️
Aka BIKE Tracks Australia
⚙️Race catagory/s - 30+ Masters
⚙️What do you ride? Speedco carbon
⚙️How old were you when you started? 6ish
⚙️Race Number/ Why you picked it? 129, can’t remember entirely. Started as 29 and shifted to 129
⚙️What do you love about BMX?
Personally I love the challenge, adrenaline and flow state can you achieve on the bike. The community and friendships are also a huge part, you get the opportunity to meet people and make friends across the world if you’re lucky enough.
⚙️Fav Track or Carnival and why?
Fav track - Sleeman/ Brisbane BMX SX. It’s the favourite one we have designed and built and one of my favourites I’ve ever ridden too. 2026 World champs should be epic!
⚙️Top BMX Memory? Tough call, there’s so many!
⚙️ Pre Race traditions/Post Race traditions? Be prepared and stick to your own routine. Avoid getting caught in race day hype. Eat well, hydrate and look after the body.
⚙️ Name someone you always enjoy riding with/against
Anyone who has some fun and poses a good challenge.
⚙️ Who inspires you? Always look to the greats of the sport and outside of the sport for inspiration. Hard to look past Joris when it comes to this, but when I was riding more I admired others like Sam Willoughby and Maris Strombergs.
⚙️ 2026 Goals?
Final at world champs in Masters, race Superclass at QLD state champs.
⚙️ Words of wisdom for beginning riders.
Enjoy, work hard/ train hard, work on your weaknesses, find a good coach when the time is right. Enjoy the journey of racing, results come and go but the sport can really help shape the person you are and teach you a lot of life lessons. Sometimes the unseen personal wins/ lessons that can’t be seen on the score sheet are the most impactful ones.
⚙️ Is it true you have to roll your new race gear on the track or you'll stack?
Not true, I also don’t believe that saying “one more” is bad luck. I think this falls under the banner of “If you say you can, or you can’t, you’ll be right”
⚙️ Coach shout out?
Mick Wallin was my first coach, so it’s cool to still ride with him. Otherwise shout out to all the coaches that take the time to coach the next generation of riders in our sport. It’s so important
