After 27 years of racing, I’ve finally managed to chalk up my first NZ1 🏆 Cool to finally have the this on the shelf, along with 2nd for long jump 😂

Mint weekend of racing, running a stall with @virisbrand.nz, and hanging with all the friends.

Locked in for Worlds!

2026 brings a new chapter in the Viris NZ story 👀 We’re stoked to share that Viris NZ has changed hands and Nicky & Dan Franks are now at the helm!

This is a move that has made a lot of sense; since 2023 Dan has been sponsored by Viris NZ, repping the goggles and glasses through training and BMX racing. Cam also informally mentored Dan early in his downhill days, making the handover feel more like a natural progression and a bit of a ‘full circle’ moment.

We’re super excited to build on the solid foundations already laid and keep growing Viris NZ the way it’s always been done — with quality gear, good people, and a genuine love for riding.

A huge thanks to Cam and Liam for carving the original line and putting Viris on the map here in New Zealand, and giving us the opportunity to continue. The mahi they’ve done has set us up for a strong run ahead. Another massive thanks to Andy from @virisbrand for having us on board.

Here’s to fresh trails and clear vision 🤙🏼

— Nicky, Dan and Finn (smallest Franks team member!)

More blue for your feed. Snaps from @cambridge_bmx Twilight, one of the best races on the calendar and cool to run some good laps with the @mcraceacademy crew.

Is the Dad strength coming in? 🫣 Old legs still got a little bit of juice.

First hit out for the @crankit_series_nz last weekend, and stoked to nab the win. Pep talks from the pit crew between motos were serious - ‘Lock in Dad, you need more fitness work now.’ by @danfranks_
