You hear Skittles before you see her—laughter, energy, neon-bright kit, and a level of confidence that fills the whole staging area. Then the gate snaps, and all that color turns into pure speed. McKenzie Gayheart has become a fan favorite not just because she wins, but because she brings joy and personality back into BMX racing.

A fierce national contender with a deep resume of mains and podiums, Skittles has proven she can perform under pressure. Her first straights are clean and explosive, her rhythm speed is relentless, and she isn’t afraid to send a pass when the moment calls for it. She rides bold. She lives bold. And she represents the future of the sport—where performance and personality are teammates, not opposites.
