BMX track at Grijalva Park

The mayor of Seal Beach, whose daughter became a BMX world champion racing at Orange Y, urged support for a BMX track, citing major economic impact figures from BMX events and noting Orange's legacy as home of the legendary Orange Y track.

President of SoCal BMX, he recounted the history of the legendary Orange Y BMX track, its 2016 closure and 2018 land sale, and argued a BMX facility fits the master plan's vision — especially with BMX racing in the LA 2028 Olympics.

Father of pro BMX champion Ava Corley, he described how BMX transformed his daughter's life — she's now a U23 world champion aiming for the 2028 Olympics — and asked the commission to build a track so every child can find their own path.

Speaking for the Orange County Mountain Bike Association, he highlighted the group's track projects across the county, argued bike facilities get kids off screens and off electric motorcycles, and praised the commission for considering bikes in the Grijalva plan.
