Australian Olympic BMX Rider to miss World Cup MTB
BMX
Beijing Olympian, Tanya Bailey (Perth/Gold Coast), will not be racing at the
Nissan UCI Mountain Bike World Cup Four Cross event this Saturday night in
Canberra. Instead the 27 year old has travelled to Perth to spend some time
with family and friends before the welcome home parades in three weeks
time. National Four Cross champion, Caroline Buchanan (Canberra), will fly
the flag for Australia and is looking towards a possible BMX Olympic
berth in London 2012.
Other BMX Olympians Jared Graves (Toowoomba) and Luke Madill (Penrith) will line up in a strong international field including World Four Cross Champion, Rafael Alvarez De Lara Lucas (ESP). Graves was unlucky in Beijing to crash in the final race finishing in sixth place. Madill is currently the National Four Cross champion. The Four Cross start list is dominated by Australians with another 14 riders lining up including recent BMX World Junior Champion, Sam Willoughby (Adelaide).

BAWLS GUARANA LAUNCHES LINE OF LIMITED-EDITION BMX RACING CANS
Miami,
FL – August 26, 2008 – In continuation of the brand’s commitment to BMX
racing, BAWLS Guarana announced the launch of a limited-edition line of BMX
racing-branded cans, now available nationwide. Proceeds from the sales of
these BMX cans will go to support the growth of BMX racing in the US.
Fresh off the sport’s debut at the 2008 Summer Olympics, BMX racing is a still-growing force in the extreme sports community. Proceeds from all BAWLS BMX can sales will be donated to the American Bicycle Association (ABA) and the National Bicycle League (NBL) – the nation’s two BMX racing sanctions – to benefit new track building, rider development and local racing programs.
BAWLS Guarana is a long-time backer of BMX– the brand serves as the “Official Energy Drink” of both the ABA and NBL and is an active sponsor of several pro riders. “BAWLS Guarana’s involvement in BMX racing over the last two years has left me and our employees hooked!” commented Founder and CEO Hoby Buppert. “These cans allow us to thank the BMX racing community for their ongoing support.”
"We're very excited about the release of these new cans,” said ABA Marketing Director Shannon Gillette. “This shows the continued commitment that BAWLS Guarana has towards BMX racing and the ABA BMX programs. It's great working with companies like this!"
“The new BAWLS BMX-branded cans promise to help raise awareness for BMX and in turn, directly benefit the development of the sport at grass root levels,” said Kevin O’Brien, NBL’s director of marketing. “BAWLS Guarana continues to support NBL and BMX Racing and we are proud to promote the launch of their newest initiative at the NBL Grand National.”
The cans will be unveiled this weekend at the 2008 NBL Grand Championships in Louisville, KY. Can artwork also features the logos of the ABA and NBL. The debut of BAWLS Guarana’s BMX cans also marks the start of the brand’s annual BMX contest, promoted on the limited-edition packaging. BAWLS fans can enter to win one of 25 limited-edition BAWLS BMX racing bikes, made exclusively by Intense BMX. No purchase is necessary to enter at www.bawls.com.
About BAWLS

Widely distributed to local supermarkets, convenience stores (7-Eleven, Speedway/SuperAmerica), Target, Microcenter stores and gaming venues; BAWLS is a premium, non-alcoholic, carbonated beverage made from the guarana berry harvested in the Amazonian Rainforest.

2008 Beijing Summer Olympics - Cycling video index
scroll down the list & look for the BMX ones,
Australia's BMX medal chances ended in bad luck today when both Jared Graves and Nicole Callisto crashed in their respective finals.
Graves,
the world number two, qualified easily for the final
claiming 2nd, 5th and 3rd in his three semi-final
runs and drawing gate three on the final starting
ramp. He launched out of the gate overcoming a slow
start to surge ahead of his rivals and lead into the
first corner. But disaster struck on the second
corner when American Donny Robinson clipped South
African Sifiso Nhlapo who crashed taking down
Frenchman Damien Godet and Graves in the process.
Latvian Maris Strombergs won gold with Americans Mike Day and Donny Robinson taking silver and bronze. A bruised and battered Graves limped over the line for sixth place.
"I've got a pretty bad cork over the top of my thigh which is giving me a bit of curry right now and I'm sure I'll be pretty sore tomorrow," said a disappointed Graves whose rear tyre punctured in the pile up. "I didn't get the best start but put myself in a good position in the first corner.
"I was just leaning into the second corner in behind Maris (Strombergs) and I got hit from behind and was on my head before I knew it," said Graves. "It's pretty frustrating when it's out of your control but that's racing.
"I gave it the best go I could and didn't leave anything behind so I'm happy with that but would have liked a medal."
Team mate Kamakazi missed the final after a mixed performance in the semi finals.
"I definitely wasn't on fire like I was the other day, but I got out there and gave it a go so no regrets," said Kamakazi. "This whole experience has been right up there in the clouds for me and this has been the biggest day of my life and if I can get another chance at this I'll be there (London 2012)."
In the women's competition Callisto lost her chance of a medal when she crashed on the first corner.
"I slid out on the first turn and I just sort of sat there and a few tears ran down my face... it was a race that could change your life," said the 20 year old who says she'll now aim for 2012 in London. "This Olympics has been a big learning experience and I still have a lot to learn but I'm really looking forward to it."
She wasn't the only one to hit the dirt with pre-race favorite and reigning World Champion Shanaze Reade of Great Britain losing it on the final turn into the home straight to finish last. Anne-Caroline Chausson of France was outstanding all day to claim the gold with her compatriot Laëtitia le Corguille second and American Jill Kintner third.
Australia's other starter Tanya Bailey also missed the final. She was relegated to last place in her first run and crashed in her second. - Supplied by AOC/Gennie Sheer
Rider Down! Redline's Jason Carnes needs a hand.
Several
months ago, Joey Bradford set up the
Joey Bradford Disability Fund. Joey
watched many professional BMX racers who made their
living from our beloved sport get injured and have no
way of paying their bills or making income while hurt.
You can learn more about this beneficial organization here: http://www.joeybradforddisabilityfund.org/
From time-to-time there are professional BMX racers who are in need of help and this is one of those times.
Pretty much anyone who has been around the BMX scene for a while knows Jason Carnes the Vet Pro/Masters Class racer. Jason has had a nightmare of a year.
Jason's first major injury of '08 happened on January 26 at Estrella BMX in Phoenix where he suffered two broken ribs, a crushed kidney and was hospitalized for nine days, five of which were spent in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The injury also required a stint to be inserted in his kidney requiring 6 weeks of no physical activity resulting in his return to racing being delayed for four months.
Shortly after his return, Jason was severely injured yet again in Atlanta on June 22 where he sustained a compound fracture, multiple broken and dislocated bones in the left wrist as well as a severely dislocated right shoulder with a torn labrum and rotator cuff. The wrist injury required a lot more time in the hospital and three surgeries. The shoulder will also require major surgery in the future. These severe traumas and the recuperative procedures will require months of rehabilitation keeping Jason off the track and inhibiting his ability to earn much needed paydays and contingencies for at least six months.
Jason has given much of his life to BMX and now is the chance for us in the BMX community to give a little bit back to him in his time of need. This is exactly why the Joey Bradford Disability Fund was created, to help out dedicated BMX Professionals in their time of need.
Donations can be made directly to the Joey Bradford Disability Fund on line at the web site ..... http://www.joeybradforddisabilityfund.org/ .
Those who can't donate to the fund can help in other ways. With the NBL Grands right around the corner, we'd also like to encourage every Pro out there who has ever enjoyed the hospitality and shade of the Redline pit to show some love by donating a signed jersey to the cause. Jerseys will be auctioned off at the NBL Grands providing not only a chance to help out Jason, but for riders to get one of their favorite Pro's jerseys. PLEASE come by the GT pit and see Jerry Bradford, who will be spearheading this effort.
Any and all help is much appreciated by Jason and those of us who love him.

U.S. WINS THREE MEDALS IN OLYMPIC DEBUT OF BMX
Day, Robinson Claim Silver, Bronze in Men's Event; Kintner Takes Bronze in Women's Race
Beijing,
China (August 22, 2008)-The United States collected three more
medals in the sport of cycling on Friday when Americans Mike Day
(Santa Clarita, Calif.), Donny Robinson (Napa, Calif.) and Jill
Kintner (Seattle, Wash.) were among the first athletes to grace
the podium in the newest Olympic sport of Bicycle Motocross
(BMX).
Day and Robinson won the silver and bronze medals respectively in the men's contest, while Kintner added a bronze in the women's race. Their contributions brought the U.S. medal count in cycling events to five - the most by a U.S. Olympic Team since the 1984 Los Angeles Games.
"Incredible is how I'd describe it," said Day after his accomplishment. "Silver medal, after 3 ½ years of training, I can't complain. We had all the resources to make this happen and we're excited to be here. Two men and a woman on the podium, I'm pumped."
The American's performance meant the U.S. squad will bring home half of the BMX medals that were up for grabs on Friday. France also won multiple medals as Ann-Caroline Chausson and Laetitia Le Corguille claimed gold and silver respectively ahead of Kintner.
After winning one medal in Seoul (1988), two in Atlanta (1992) and three in each of the last three Games in Atlanta (1996), Sydney (2000) and Athens (2004), the medal count thus far for American cyclists in Beijing is the most since Team USA captured nine in Los Angeles and the second-most in history.
"First woman for America, in the first event ever, first medal, it's such a piece of history, said Kintner. "I'm so glad I can represent and be a part of it. Mikey and Donny and me, it's huge for American BMX. This'll bring a big boost to our program. It puts us on the map again."
Kyle Bennett (Conroe, Texas) was the United States' fourth competitor to advance to the semifinals despite suffering a dislocated shoulder in a quarterfinal crash two days ago. Although Bennett was in the mix for a spot in the finals, he fell just short, finishing sixth overall in his semifinal bracket.
Facing a strong women's field that also included standouts Shanaze Reade (GBR), Sarah Walker (NZL), Gabriella Diaz (ARG), Nicole Callisto (AUS) and Sammy Cools (CAN), Kintner rode a solid final and stayed out of trouble when it mattered most. After a slow start out of the gate, Kintner kept herself in contention and avoided a final-corner crash by Reade to solidify her spot on the podium.
"People were going for broke, so I was patient," explained Kintner. "I waited and avoided all the problems."
In the men's race, Day finished behind only gold medalist Maris Strombergs of Latvia.
After earning the top seed in the qualifying round and winning all three of his quarterfinal heats on Wednesday, Day entered Friday's semifinal round looking like the man to beat. His streak continued with wins in his first two semifinal heats before a third-place finish in the last heat assured him a spot in the eight-man, winner-take-all finals. With Day lined up alongside Robinson - who qualified third in the semis - Strombergs, Andres Jimenez (ARG), Rob van den Wildenberg (NED), Jared Graves (AUS), Damien Godet (FRA) and Sifiso Nhlapo (RSA), the stage was set for the first-ever men's Olympic BMX finals. In the 36-second race, Day made it through the first corner in second position, and avoided a crash that claimed the hopes of three his opponents. Trailing only behind Strombergs for the entire run, Day wasn't able to make the pass on the Latvian, but led a 2-3 finish for the U.S. with Robinson just behind.
"I had a good start," Day said. "I was right there. Just couldn't get in front of him."
The BMXers performance raised the medal count to five after Kristin Armstrong (Boise, Idaho) won gold in the women's individual time trial and Levi Leipheimer (Santa Rosa, Calif.) captured bronze.
Although invented nearly 40 years ago, BMX racing has just now reached its pinnacle, having just exposed itself to a global audience on sport's biggest stage.
"We put on a great show," Robinson said, "and kind of showed everyone that the sport is really awesome."
Cycling events at the 2008 Olympic Games conclude on Saturday as both the men's and women's cross country mountain bike events are set to be contested. Georgia Gould (Fort Collins, Colo.) and Mary McConneloug (Chilmark, Mass.) will race in the women's event, while Adam Craig (Bend, Ore.) and Todd Wells (Durango, Colo.) will go for the men.

Friday/Saturday UPDATE - BMX Mania is ON THE ROAD home from the Olympics,
but make sure to check us out later this weekend for TONS of pix from the
2008 Beijing BMX Race at the Olympics!
Also, check out our BMX Mania Olympic BMX Race Report Page for complete official results!

But REDLINE would gladly settle for 2 out of the 8.
After three rounds of thrills and spills in the Men's Semis, only two RL reps would make the cut to the big O’show. Dutch dominator ROB van den WILDENBERG and French ripper DAMIEN GODET found themselves on the main stage, lining up against some of the toughest competition they’ll ever meet - Day, Robinson, Latvia’s Stromsburg, Aussie Graves, Jiminez and South African Nhlapo.
Eight riders representing seven different countries; this was exactly what the Olympics are all about. And REDLINE bikes outnumbered all other brands in the first ever Olympic final.
Godet, who'd made the Worlds main earlier this year, was out to defend a long standing French tradition of breeding fast BMXers. While Van den Wildenberg hails from the country that brought BMX to Europe and has one of the most serious Nationally-funded BMX programs behind him.
Choosing
middle lanes, our history-making Redline riders were ready to get their
“snap” on. As the World watched, the random gate cadence began and the
gate slammed down!
From the get-go, it was all Stromsburg; the current UCi World Champ. But
Americans Mikey and Donny were nipping at his back knobbies all the way
down the second straight.
Skyin’ the 40 foot gap of the Girls berm, it was wheels to wheel action
in mid-pack, with our Redline heroes poised to make their move for a
top-4 spot. As they all hit the asphalt of turn two at mach speeds,
Nhlapo lost traction and slid out, sending his bike in to Jared Graves,
whose bike flipped up in front of France’s Damien Godet. Meanwhile, Van
den Wildenberg managed to take the highroad and barely escaped the
flaming carnage of France, Australia and South Africa - and would power
in his Flight bike for a fifth place.
In the end, BMX’s first Olympic Gold medal went to Latvian Maris Strombergs, with USA favorite Mikey Day claiming silver and Donny Robinson scoring bronze.
REDLINE would like to congratulate all who put on a GREAT show for the millions of viewers; from the UCi staff to all 48 riders who qualified and helped introduced many parents and kids to this awesome sport called BMX Racing!
Unusually, the 17 year old BMX prodigy kicked off the evening by
getting balled up in her first semi and had to settle for a 7th
place. In round two, she scored a 2nd place behind France Laëtitia
le Corguille. Sitting with 9 points, the pressure was on Shanaze to
grab a top score in order to get a top-4 ticket to the main event.
Here is how they finished after the three rounds; taking the top-4
finishers to the main:
ELITE WOMEN SEMI #1
Jill Kintner (USA)
Shanaze Reade (UK)
Laëtitia le Corguille (FRA)
Nicole Callisto (AUS)
Tanya Bailey (AUS)
Lieke Klaus
(NED)
Maria Belen
Dutto (ARG)
Aniko Hodi
(HUN)
French MTB’er Anne-Caroline Chausson, in her final bicycle race of
her long and illustrious career, had been predicted to be the
closest to giving the Great Brit a run for the Gold but would not
meet up with Redline’s wonder woman until the main event.
ELITE
WOMEN SEMI #2

Liyun Ma (CHN)
In the main, the eight fastest women in the World lined up for tens of millions of TV viewers to see what BMX is all about. From the start, Shanaze and rival Anne-Caro were straight to the front of the hard-chargin’ pack. Over the first jump, Canadian Samantha Cools looped and bailed in spectacular fashion.
Hitting the first turn at high speeds, in the very space where she’d crashed twice so far, Shanaze played it safe - which left the door wide open for the flyin’ French woman to swoop underneath and shut down the Redline rider’s line. Shanaze and her FLIGHT Pro XL were forced to dive to the bottom of the track and got back on the gas, pulling up alongside Chausson. Down the second and third straights, the two battled bar to bar.
Before the final turn, Anne-Caroline pulled a good lead with her smoother jumping skills from years of MTB downhill racing.
In the final turn, Shanaze was still within striking distance … the key word being STRIKE.
In
what can only be summed up as a
“It’s GOLD or nothing” move, Shanaze dove to the extreme
inside and cut hard in to Anne-Caroline’s rear triangle in a last
ditch effort. Rather than to wait for a drag race to the finishline,
Reade took a stab at a solid Chausson, who held her ground and sent
the Brit bailing off balance and bashing in to the paved asphalt.
For Shanaze and Redline, all of the hopes and dreams of Olympic
glory in 2008 dramatically came to an end in the final turn.
But we are sure that beginning Saturday morning, all sights will now
be set on Medal redemption in front of her home country - in 2012.

Complete Men's Results Posted To The BMX Mania Olympic BMX Race Report Page!
U.S. ADVANCES THREE MEN TO SEMIFINALS OF OLYMPIC BMX COMPETITION
Day, Bennett, Robinson in Round of 16; Kintner Qualifies Seventh in Women's Race
Contact: Andy Lee (Tel.) 719.866.4867 (Mobile) 719.231.2041 (E-mail) alee@usacycling.org <
mailto:alee@usacycling.org> (Website) www.usacycling.org <http://www.usacycling.org/>Beijing, China (August 20, 2008)-Bicycle Motocross (BMX) made its Olympic debut Wednesday as American athletes illustrated their might by advancing all three men's competitors to Thursday's semifinal heats.
Kyle Bennett (Conroe, Texas), Mike Day (Santa Clarita, Calif.) and Donny Robinson (Napa, Calif.) all qualified for the round of 16. By doing so, the United States is the only country that advanced three competitors to the semifinals.
Competing in the same eight-man bracket, Day and Robinson placed first and third respectively after three quarterfinal heats to claim a spot in the semifinals. Day's win was triggered by a dominating performance that saw him win all three heats, clearly marking him as one of the favorites heading into Thursday. After a rough start, Robinson recovered from a crash-induced sixth-place finish in heat one to place second and third in the next two heats.
In the second bracket, Bennett looked solid in his first two heats, placing second and fourth, but came dangerously close to elimination after crashing in his third heat. While exiting turn one, Bennett went down after failing to avoid a pair of riders that crashed in front of him. The result was a dislocated left shoulder, which was immediately treated by team doctors on course. And even though he eventually re-mounted his bike and rolled across the finish line, he was credited with a DNF - did not finish - and given the maximum of eight points. Still, his point total was low enough to advance him to the semifinals and is expected to compete on Thursday.
For Day, his dominant performance began in the individual time trial round, used to seed the 32 entrants into four different eight-man brackets. His time of 35.692 seconds in his second of two attempts was the field's fastest of the day. Latvian Maris Stombergs clocked a 35.910 as the only other rider to post a time under 36 seconds.
Bennett earned the 12th seed in qualifying with a 36.421, while Robinson rode a 36.810 to grab the 24th seed.
In Thursday's semifinals, all three Americans will be matched against each other in the same bracket as Bennett, Day and Robinson join Marc Willers (NZL), Sifiso Nhlapo (RSA), Andres Jimenez (COL), Raymon van der Biezen (NED) and Arturs Matisons (LAT) in the first bracket.
Strombergs, Jared Graves (AUS), Cristian Becerine (ARG), Roger Rinderknecht (SUI), Rob van den Wildenberg (NED), Manueal de Vecchi (ITA), Damien Godet (FRA), Kamakazi (AUS) comprise the second bracket.
As in Wednesday's quarterfinal, each bracket will run three heats with the lowest-four point getters from each bracket advancing to the finals.
In women's racing, American Jill Kintner (Seattle, Wash.) rode a 37.913 to claim the seventh seed.
After the 16-woman field was divided into a pair of eight-woman brackets for Thursday's semifinals, Kintner will face Shanaze Reade (GBR), Laetitia le Corguille (FRA), Nicole Callisto (AUS), Tanya Bailey (AUS), Lieke Klaus (NED), Maria Belen Dutto (ARG) and Aniko Hodi (HUN) in the first bracket.
Anne-Caroline Chausson (FRA), Sarah Walker (NZL), Gabriela Diaz (ARG), Jana Horakova (CZE), Jenny Fahndrich (SUI), Amanda Sorensen (DEN), Sammy Cools (CAN) and Liyun Ma (CHN) make up the second bracket.

PRO BMX SHOWDOWN AT THE NBL GRANDS – NEW CHAMPIONS TO BE CROWNED
Hilliard, Ohio – August 11, 2008: The 2008 NBL Grand National of BMX begins only 8 days following the sport’s thrilling debut at the Olympic Games in Beijing, China and once again, the highly-coveted NBL Pro titles will be decided on Labor Day weekend. Kicking off this year’s program on Friday, August 29, the pros will duke it out during the War of the Stars/UGP Open Championship to earn one last valuable national score. 24 hours later they will race their way into the history books at the 2nd Annual NBL Pro Spectacular on Saturday evening. A growing number of International stars are headed to Louisville, KY to mix it up with the title chasers and with more than $40,000 on the line, the NBL Grands will once again be the most exciting race of the year on American soil.
GO211.com,
the official webcast partner of the NBL, will be streaming ‘live’ Grands
coverage starting on Friday and running all the way through to the
completion of Sunday’s amateur mains. Saturday’s
Pro Spectacular will crown of as
many as four new Pro Champions and the ‘pumped-up’ program will feature
rockin’ music, the Intense ‘Build-A-Bike’
contest, and much more. Be sure to stop by the GO211 Pro Pit
during the day and get autographs from your favorite pros. As part of the

Free Agent’s Kyle Bennett, the reigning NBL Champion, will be competing at the Olympics in Beijing and hopes to bring home the Gold for USA. Though Kyle may still attend the Grands, the title chase is now between his team-mate Cristian Becerine, who is racing at the Olympics for Argentina, and GT’s Randy Stumpfhauser. Race Place BMX’s Stephanie Barragan has a good lead over Redline’s Kim Hayashi but Li’l Kim can narrow the gap with a win on Friday and as we all know, anything can happen at the ‘Grands’.
In Master’s action, Free Agent’s Dale Holmes and Supercross’s Kenth Fallen will bring their year-long rivalry to a thrilling conclusion – The two veterans are tied in points with a chance for separation on Friday but Formula’s Tim ‘Ding Ding’ Dinger will be aiming to spoil the party.

OLYMPIC WELL WISHES FOR K.B.

Old Skool Of BMX, Reunion & Celebration of 30 Years Of BMX In Holland and Europe Cancelled!
'Godfather of Euro BMX', Gerrit Does Taken Seriously Ill
The
reason for cancellation is that, Euro Godfather of BMX*
(Yep, that's pretty much an 'Official Title'!), Gerrit Does has just
returned from the hospital this past Wednesday. Gerrit had not been feeling well
for some time, but in early July, he had alternated between going to work,
staying home, and then going back to work, when on the weekend of July 20th
his situation became worse. After being rushed to the hospital by ambulance, he
was diagnosed with Meningitis, a very serious disease. Gerrit slipped in to
'critical' condition and has no memory of his hospital stay for days.
After 15 days of being hospitalized, 64 sacks of antibiotics and lots of more medicine, he was allowed to go home last Wednesday. The specialists who are treating him have told him, "rest, rest, rest" for sure until the middle of September. NO work, NO action, NO BMX Old Skool Reunion what so ever! Recovery will take at least 3 months and full recovery might take 12 months. In Gerrit's own words, "I have to wait and see what happens."
SO, for now the Old Skool Of BMX, Reunion & Celebration of 30 Years Of BMX In Holland and Europe has been cancelled and is hoped to be held one year later. Watch Gerrit's site, www.univofbmx.com (And, of course, BMXmania.com, since we think Gerrit's a pretty awesome dude!), for official announcements and updates to the proceedings.
Anyone who has already booked accommodations, (and there are people from Denmark, England, Belgium, France and even India) have to CONTACT Attractiepark Slagharen and need to indicate whether you want to receive a refund or if you want to go ahead and visit one of the coolest countries in the world, The Netherlands, anyway, but with out the Old Skool event.
For now, Mr. Does, who, in our estimation is one of the people who actually AIMED BMX at the Olympics, will take it easy till September 17th, and will be working with doctors towards recovery. But, we are SURE, that when the Olympic BMX event comes around next week, that he'll be physically attached to the TV, ain't no Dizz Eees gonna hold back the Godfather of Euro BMX, we can assure you of that.
Best wishes, Get Well Soon and our prayers are with you, Gerrit Does, from BMX Mania Dot Com!

Since 1985 the ABA has Inducted
Members Annually Into the ABA BMX Hall of Fame
Gilbert, Arizona—August 5, 2008— The ABA (American Bicycle Association)
announced today that voting has commenced for the 2008 ABA BMX “Hall of Fame”.
Each year since 1985, a select group of BMX (Bicycle Motocross) riders and/or
industry veterans have been nominated. Once again this year the ABA BMX “Hall
of Fame” committee has chosen the nominees from “Early BMX Pioneers”, “BMX
Racers” and “Industry Members”.
The ABA BMX “Hall of Fame” is the who’s who of BMX and it consists of riders
and industry members who have made notable contributions to the sport. Although
the voting is open to the public, nominations are done by committee. To be
honored by the committee and be added to the ballot is important, but the public
chooses the final winners.
This year marks a change in voting as the ballots will be available online at

LOCATIONS OF REDLINE CUP FINALS ANNOUNCED!
REDLINE CUP EAST - Kettering BMX,
Kettering, OH
September 5-7, 2008
REDLINE CUP CENTRAL- St. Peters BMX, St. Peters MO
September 12-14, 2008
REDLINE CUP WEST -
MCCOLLUM PARK BMX, Everett, WA
September 19-21, 2008
There you have ‘em - for all of you who have already made your main event at a Redline Cup Qualifier (or those of you who plan on qualifying at the remaining RLQ’s), these are three locations for the 2008 REDLINE CUP Finals - where you can become a REDLINE CUP Champion and run that illustrious RL CUP No.1 plate on your bars for the next 12 months. All you have to do is win your main event at one of these regional events.
The RL CUP EAST returns to one of the premiere ABA tracks; the challenging Kettering track in Ohio ran by longtime operators Bob and Anna Bruns. Home of many ABA national and RL Cup’s, Kettering is hometrack to some of Ohio’s fastest riders.
For those in the middle of the U.S., now is the time to make plans for St. Peters, Missouri in mid-September. The RL CUP CENTRAL is traditionally the biggest of the three Finals, and always brings out the best of competition.
And for a big change in venue, the RL CUP WEST goes to the Northwest this year, for the very first time in its 14 year history. The location? None other than McCollum Park BMX in Everett, Washington … about 30 minutes north of Seattle, with hotels and restaurants within riding-distance and plenty of fun Seattle activities closeby (EMP-Experience Music Project, Space Needle, Boeing’s Museum of Flight & Tour, etc).

GHP Great Salt Lake
National Report
On
July 25th the ABA held their annual Salt
Lake Nationals in West Jordan
Utah. Home of Rad Canyon Bmx,
100 degree weather and the biggest A pro to ride a 20?
We were in Todd "TP" Parry's backyard
and he was there to race. It has been 5 weeks since he broke his wrist and
decided to cut his cast off before being released from the doctor. I don't know
how he did it, but he did and came away with 5ths both days in cruiser and a 7th
in A pro Sunday. He was fast, but the real news was the bet between TP and the
big boss Greg Hill.
Matt Zito has been
sworn to secrecy but can say that if you are at the Grands, you might want to
look into the GHP pits
to see who will be having there pie and eating it too.
John "The Jackle" Purse
is becoming a main stay on the ABA circuit, always giving the Vet Pro class a
run for their money. With all the big guns in attendance it was anyone's game.
John fought hard for a fifth and a second. Watching John race is always amazing.
Along with Todd and John almost the whole GHP Factory team was in attendance .
There have been a lot of improvements in the amateur ranks. Starting with the
little guys Dakota Baca and Zach Zito.
Greg has been working with these little guys and its starting to pay off. Dakota
rode his cruiser to a fourth both days and two sixth in eleven expert. Zach went
home with seventh both days in twelve expert and two fourths in twelve cruiser.
Hacksaw was looking like he was going to repeat his race in Roseville, but came
up a little short. He decided to just race 20 and came home with a 3rd and a
2nd. Always smooth and fast, his momentum is gaining and looking to possibly win
a nice plate this year, maybe two.
GHP has some real fast cruiser riders and Robbie Patterson
and Christian
Martinez put on a show as they battled
to 1 and 2 both days in the 17-19 Cruiser class. Robbie
Patterson just turned 17 and wanted to
prove that he could continue his win streak. His snaps were on and Christian had
to make up time to catch Robbie. Christian rode fast and smart taking the
seconds while Robbie showed he can beat the big boys.
Alexis Ortiz came up
from phoenix to take a 5th in 12 girls on Sunday after a huge wreck in Saturday
qualifying. The wreck left her with a nice gash in her chin and a good headache,
but after a nights rest she came back strong and made her main. Little
Stephanie Baldwin made all
mains in 8g with a huge wreck in the first straight on Saturday leaving her a
bit mixed up, but like Alexis came back on Sunday to make her cruiser class
also.
Our Idaho crew came down to the 100 degree weather to race and melt. Co-team
owner, Trevor Reynolds
brought the new GHP rig down as well as some great new talent.
Jack Reynolds battled to a 2nd in 6 &
under Open after making a pro like pass in the first turn and then getting
tangled up and going down. He jumped up and made his way up to 2nd. Also the
king of the belly flop, Jake Donoho
took a strong 6th in 7x on Sunday. He had a bad
wreck Friday night leaving a perfect scab up his spine, this is a tough little
kid. Chase Lamphiear
had been in Phoenix trying to acclimate himself to the heat and driving GHP boss
Rick Lehman nuts and
terrorizing his neighbors while mobbing his dirt bikes through the community.
The quiet neighborhood will not be the same as both Chase and Josh left their
mark on it. However, they are always welcomed to come out and take in the heat
and hit another session of 5 race nights before going to a national.. Chase came
up to Salt Lake ready to go and took home a pair of 6th's in cruiser both days..
A friend of GHP,
Redline's
12x rider Dakota Senger
took a huge spill in semis on Sunday,
catapulting his bike over the third turn and I didn't see him on the track after
that, hopefully he is ok. WE know he is coming off of a big injury and seems to
be having a tough year. He is a great competitor and always in the hunt.
Honorable mentions go out to Mike Larson
in A Pro who couldn't get a break,
Josh Mattocks, and
Cameron Cain.
The next race for GHP will be the
Southwest National in Rick Lehman's back yard, Tucson Arizona.
Look for the full Arizona factory crew to be there minus Alexis
Lehman who recently broke her ankle
while racing a local event and leading until her crash just before the finish
line.. Till then...

2008 Race Report
TeamWBR
have had a hectic schedule in the past 6
months travelling all over Australia racing the BMXA
Hogs Breath Café National Series,
UCI World Series and to China
for the World Championships.
Here is how the 2008 season unfolded for the TeamWBR riders:
Michael Chasteauneuf had an up and down season by starting off with a win at the Victorian State Championships in AA and also securing a Victorian Institute of Sport Scholarship.
In the National Hogs Breath Café series, Michael was showing some great potential after his intense preseason training program, but a few misfortunate crashes while sitting in the top 2 positions cost him the overall series and finished 4th place in Junior Elite.
National Championships went more his way as he was sitting in 2nd place the entire lap until Stevie Janssen piped him on the line, leaving him with a bronze medal for the National Championships.
World Championships was looking like Michael will go a few steps better than the 3rd place last year by the way he was acceleration out of the gate and dialling in the track.
Due to a bump and run in the first corner, Michael was not able to jump the Pro Section in his semi final which left him in 5th place at the line.
While gaining a few points at the World Championships, Michael finished 10th overall in the UCI World ranking series for Junior Elite.
With another year left in Junior Elite, Michael has even more potential to take on the rest of the World in South Australia in 2009 as Australia will be the host of the 2009 World Championships.
Lacey Oliver was on a mission in 2008 as Lacey was runners up for the National Talent ID program and was going to prove a point.
Lacey won 3 out of 5 of the National Hogs Breath Café Series and was looking good to take out the overall series and the National Championships.
A crash during practice forced Lacy to sit on the side lines at the National Championship and lost the Overall National Hog’s Breath Café Series by a few points leaving her in 2nd place.
Lacey came back strong for the World Championships in China to take on the world and finished with a 3rd place in 15 girls and also a 3rd in the U19 girls cruisers.
Lacey is now on the 2009 National Talent ID Squad and is focused to improve her results at the World Championships next July on her home soil.
Declan
Hepburn is a great ambassador for TeamWBR and has really improved
on his riding skills this past season.
Declan was runners up in the Victorian State series and also took out the Australia Country Championships at Mt Gambier in the 9 year old boys class.
Declan is keen to represent Australia next year at the World Championships and is focused on training hard for next season.
Brooklyn Bootes is about to turn 4 years old and has been ripping around on his Answer micro mini at the Local BMX tracks.
Brooklyn is looking forward to compete in the U5 category next season and bring home plenty of trophies.
This is someone you will really want to watch race as he has already impressed everyone who has seen him ride. Brooklyn has a bright future in Cycling, purely by genetics.
Wade Bootes has had a very busy year managing the U19 National BMX program and also assisting the National Head coach in preparation for the first time BMX will be in the Olympics in Beijing, China.
The National U19 Program walked away proudly from the 2008 World Championships with 14 Medals, 5 World Champions and the Number 1 UCI Overall Ranked Junior Elite Men and Women riders in the World.
The National Junior Program is on track for a very successful 4 year cycle leading up to the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
Team WBR would like to thank everyone who has been apart of the program and to say a special thanks to Hog’s Breath Café, Advanced Traders, Answer BMX, BMXA, Cycling Australia, VIS and the coaching staff that helped provide support for the team riders to produce great results during the season.
We all look forward to an even better season in 2009.
TeamWBR is proudly supported by : Hogs Breath Cafe, Answer BMX, Velocity Wheels, Cane Creek, BSC, QuikShade, Bell Helmets, Sockguy and www.TeamWBR.com

2008 ABA BMX PRO Standing through Great Salt Lake Nationals
The
American Bicycle Association hosted the Great
Salt Lake Nationals this past weekend, July 25-27,
in West Jordan, UT.
The RAD CANYON BMX Facility is
main stay on the ABA BMX tour and has a long standing history with the
racers and fans alike. RAD CANYON
BMX is always a must attend for the racers and this year they
were treated to a freshly rebuilt track from GT Bicycles TM, and Utah
legend Steve Spencer. Steve always does a top notch job on the RAD
CANYON surface. The RAD CANYON crew also added freshly paved turns and
the ABA BMX PRO's were raving about them. Some even said they were THE
best turns they had ever ridden. The RAD
CANYON BMX crew really stepped it up as
usual and had the facility in tip top shape and ready to race. The
even had water misters for the racers and families in and around the
staging area for the HOT weekend. This was the eighth
PRO Series event of the season and the PRO Riders were excited to head
up to high altitude of Utah to
see who had the legs down the last
straight!
With the 2008 Olympic debut for BMX racing coming up quick, and the first USA BMX Team being chosen, (BIG CONGRATS go out to Kyle Bennett, Mikey Day, "DR" Donny Robinson, and Jill Kintner for being the first ever BMX athletes to represent USA in the 2008 Olympics!) the buzz, the hype, and the media are all around. Many of the sports top athletes were back on the scene with the Olympic Trials being over. Riders from around the world were on hand to take a shot at getting some much needed points towards the ABA BMX titles.
Saturday saw a four way tie in the AA PRO points going into the third main event. ABA National #1, Danny C, David Herman, Denzel Stein, and Barry Nobles were all locked and loaded for battle. After the gate dropped and dust settled we had ABA National #1, Danny C. on top with the win. David Herman for the 2nd, Barry Nobles for the 3rd and Denzel doing Redline proud with a 4th.
Sunday we had Barry Nobles laying down the power to take his 4th AA PRO win of the season. I said it before, and I'll say it again. Barry Nobles is the real deal. He's been making lots of fans and making a big name for himself on the ABA BMX PRO tour. Randy Stumpfhauser is always a threat to win and was able to nail down a 2nd for GT Bicycles and Denzel bettered his Saturday score by rounding off the podium for 3rd. I'm sure Redline will be pleased with Denzel's results.
With a list of riders like this,once again this past weekend shows just how deep the talent pool is on the ABA BMX PRO tour. There has been six different AA PRO winners in seven stops. That's very impressive!
On the Ladies PRO side we saw the return of Utah's own Arielle Martin. This is only fitting as Arielle practically crew up on the RAD Canyon BMX track.Arielle was fresh off her Olympic bid and she was taking names and going way FAST! Arielle's first race back was a good for the win both days Arielle's been living at the Olympic Training Center and her riding is stronger then ever. Arielle also had lots of media on hand doing interviews with her and she did a great job letting the fans know all about BMX Racing. With a few more solid rides like this, you can expect to see Arielle right in the middle of the hunt ABA BMX PRO Title and a brand new Suzuki RMZ450!
The pride of Minnesota, and ABA's current National #1 Ladies PRO is back on the scene big time. Alise Post took a little time off for her gymnastics career, but since her return she has battled for the win each week. this weekend saw Alise bring home 2nd place both Saturday and Sunday. Alise is one of the most decorated females in ABA BMX history and she continues to show the heart of a champion week in, and week out.
Arizona's own Dominique Daniels and current ABA National #1 girl and girl cruiser turned PRO Dominique Daniels scored 3rd both days in Utah. Dominique has been a podium main stay this season and with her finishes in Utah showed she has her eye on the ABA PRO title. The ladies racing has really stepped it up over the last couple of years and the new crop of younger woman I keep hearing about making the move to the PRO class is very promising for more excitement to come.
Pro Cruiser had ABA National # 1 PRO Cruiser rider Danny C. handling things. "Easy Money" took the win both days and extends his lead out even more after SLC. Redman's Pauly Lange was back on the podium with a 2nd on day #1 and a 3rd on day #2. Kenth Fallen was holding it down for the old guys. Kenth was 3rd for the day. Sunday had the Alabama Slamma' Barry Nobles in the house as well. Barry rode very well in AA PRO, but he also brought home a 2nd in PRO Cruiser on Day #2.
Vet Pro was back in action too! DaleHolmes.com had the legs and won both days. Kenth Fallen was 2nd on day #1 and Chad Street was 3rd on day #1. day #2 saw the John "The Jackal" Purse nailed down the 2nd and Jason Silva was back on the podium with a solid 3rd on day #2. The racing was fast and action pack in Utah. We can't wait to go back next season to see what other great improvements they will make.
The ABA, the city of West Jordan, UT. and the entire RAD CANYON BMX crew would like to thank all the participants, families, teams, sponsors, and BMX industry for helping make the Great Salt Lake National event such a huge success! Next stop on the ABA BMX PRO Tour, BLACK JACK Nationals in Reno - Nevada, August 29-31. We hope to see you all there!
