Introduction: The BMX Nationals Opener in Las Vegas
This past weekend, the season opener for the USA BMX Nationals series took place in Las Vegas, where thousands of BMX enthusiasts gathered to witness thrilling races. Among them was my son, Manix, also known by his racing nickname "MERCILESS MANIX". Riding his Tideacebike BMX Carbon 20er frame, Manix not only participated but dominated the competition, securing an impressive 2nd place in the Main Event. His performance was marked by an unforgettable moment: bumping his competitor over the berm in turn two to seize that coveted second-place finish.
Manix's race wasn't just a personal victory; it highlighted the incredible potential of the Tideacebike BMX Carbon 20er frame, a frame designed for top-level performance. In this blog, we’ll dive into that race story, showcase why Manix’s race-winning setup matters, and explore the design and features of this exceptional BMX frame.

The Race: Manix's Performance at the USA BMX Nationals
In the Las Vegas opener, MERCILESS MANIX was a standout. His race was an intense battle, but it was his strategic move in turn two—bumping his competitor over the berm—that clinched his 2nd place finish. It was a defining moment in a race that showed not just his skill but the reliability of his bike.
However, as any BMX racer knows, even the best bikes sometimes face challenges during competition. For Manix, the chain tensioner turned out to be a major issue. Despite the bike’s overall performance, the chain tensioner did not hold up throughout the event, with the chain becoming loose and dangerous after each qualifying Moto and Main event.
The Chain Tensioner Issue: Lessons Learned
Although the Tideacebike BMX Carbon 20er frame performed exceptionally well in terms of handling and speed, the chain tensioner did not last, which caused several adjustments throughout the day. It’s clear that while the frame excels, BMX riders must pay attention to all components, including the chain tensioner, to avoid this issue in future events. While this was an inconvenience, it was also a valuable learning experience for Manix and our team.
