Are you lookin' for a rim/components co-sponsor for the 2013 season?  Alienation BMX, one of the premier brands on the race circuit is lookin' to help you and your team out with your race parts needs. 

We are looking to expand our promotion efforts through a group of dedicated racers and teams to help get our name out there.  This is why we would like to work with YOU to become a part of the Alienation family.

As rider's ourselves, we fully understand the high level of costs and expenses to fund a race program for a season.  The goal of the co-sponsorship program here at Alienation is to help you offset some of those costs to support your program, by offering Grass Roots Pricing for the 2013season.

We'd love to be able to offer everyone free products and use of the Alienation Big Rig but that's not possible if we want to stay in business.  We don’t quite have the budget to be able to offer all that at this time, nor can we afford the Big Race Rig.  But we’re growing every year so give us time!

We have program info just waiting to get you lined up to race with Alienation BMX Racing. Included in this packet, you will find the 2013 co-sponsorship price list, a program guideline sheet explaining how to go about ordering, and what is expected of you as a co-sponsored rider and/or team.

If you have any questions at all, please don’t hesitate to email or call me, Rob Morgan. I'm the Brand Manager at Alienation and I ride just like you and want to help you make your BMX Racing Season a real success.  All of us at Alienation BMX look forward to you being a part of the Alienation BMX Family.

Vista, CA.  Haro Bicycles is proud to announce the signing of Tucson, Arizona’s Corben Sharrah to the BMX race team.

“Corben is one of the youngest, most accomplished, stylish, humble, and driven riders in the sport. A former USA Cycling National Champion in the Elite class, Corben had already won a UCI World Cup abroad when he was only 18. I fully believe that Corben, now 20 years old, is untapped talent. Though he’s accomplished so much at such a young age, I think the BMX world has yet to see his full potential. We’re really psyched to team up with him for 2013 and beyond.” said Derek Betcher, Haro’s BMX Race Team Manager.

Corben will join team mates Nic Long (San Diego, CA) and Brooke Crain (Visalia, CA) on the full USA BMX tour in 2013, along with select UCI World Cup events.

“I’m proud to announce that I will be a part of the Haro Bikes team for 2013.” explained Corben Sharrah. “I am honored to be involved with such an iconic brand as everything Haro does is game changing. I look forward to progressing in my career and elevating the sport on a Haro. Something that I've dreamed of since I was a kid was to ride a Haro bike and I couldn’t be more excited about the opportunity and what the future has in store.“

Look for Corben to make his Haro debut on our Race LT frame in Phoenix, Arizona at the USA BMX Winter Nationals when the season kicks off next weekend.

ANAHEIM, CA—Cycle Group, Inc. (CGI) is very excited to announce that Caroline Buchanan will ride BOX Components and Promax parts on her DK Professional V2 next season.

 “I’ve been a Caroline fan since her World Championship mountain biking days. Not only is Caroline a great rider, but she’s also one of the best when it comes to self promotion and promotion of her sponsors. She works as hard off the bike setting up magazine interviews, photo shoots and personal appearances as she does on the bike. I’m really happy that she will be using BOX and Promax components,” said Toby Henderson, CGI’s founder.

 Next season, Buchanan will race using the full range of BOX components, with a few Promax parts where BOX parts are unavailable. She will join Marc Willers and several other DK Factory Team riders who will use BOX’s new Vertex crankset, which features a BB30/PF30 bottom bracket with 35mm external bearings. DK is in the process of building her a custom frame to work with the new set-up.

 “I’m excited to announce the news of signing with BOX Components for the 2013 season. 2013 will be my first year competing in the whole USA BMX season riding for DK Bicycles. I’m looking forward to working with BOX and kitting out about 90 percent of the spec on my bike. I’m always looking for that 1 percent on the track, and by teaming up with an innovative company like BOX, I can see a bright future with some amazing product and results to come,” Buchanan said.

 Among the parts Buchanan will use in 2013 are: BOX X-Series carbon forks - BOX Delta stems - BOX Maximus handlebars - BOX Focus rims - BOX Hollow 20-mil hubs - BOX Genius brake levers - BOX Eclipse brakes with BOX X-Ray brake shoes - BOX Concentric cables - BOX Vector crankset - BOX Echelon and Shift saddles - BOX Helix seatclamps - BOX Phase 1 number plates - Promax IG-45 headsets - Promax SL-1 stem locks -

"We are very proud of the BOX and Promax product lines as they are today. And we intend to continue to push the innovation envelope this year and well into the future. We are confident that the product we are making are worthy of the World’s best bike racers. It makes us very happy that riders like Caroline and Marc Willers have picked BOX components for their bikes,” Henderson said.  

Buchanan will make her debut on BOX parts at the USA BMX Winter Nationals in Phoenix, Arizona, March 2.

(San Diego, CA) - The 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Donny Robinson is the first BMX racer to join ONE Industries. According to dR, “Becoming a member of the ONE Industries squad has always been a huge dream of mine. I look forward to bringing ONE’s style, safety and performance enhancing innovations into the BMX racing arena.”

“Leading into the launch of our ONE Bike gear and apparel last Fall, one of the products for both MOTO and Bike was our revolutionary new Vapor pant. During the development of this pant I knew one thing for certain...it was PERFECT for BMX racing. With that thought one of the first names that popped into my head was Donny Robinson. I knew he was the right one to bring on as the first BMX athlete for ONE Industries. The match could not be better, and we are proud and honored to have him in the ONE family.” - ONE Marketing Director Greg Lenac

Donny is looking forward to suiting up in ONE’s Vapor line of bike gear, which offers premium, class defining design and weight. As a racer you are always “looking to go lighter”, which increases your performance. Donny believes that the industry leading style and increased performance of ONE Industries will have him standing apart from the rest of the field in 2013. Donny will debut his ONE Industries setup on March 1 at the Winter Nationals in Phoenix, AZ.

Never give up!

• Chris Meaker coming off a recent OTB injury and working his way back to the main on Sunday

Hyper President Clay Goldsmid said, “Donny has been a great spokesperson for Hyper and a true Ambassador for the sport of BMX. We wish him success in his future endeavors.”

We have been fortunate to share in Donny’s accomplishments on and off the track.

Donny was also key to the success of our “dR Pro Model” Program which made competitive, starter BMX bikes available to thousands of kids who would not otherwise had the chance to experience our sport.

We look forward to watching Donny continue his life as a winner on the track, and in life.

Did you always have that dream of turning "AA", moving to Socal and living the dream?

Well, it's not "AA" and the warm weather is on the other side of the country, but you can have a full on job in BMX Racing at J&R BMX.

French Coach, Alex Wattier sent us this video to showcase his BMX coaching efforts.

We checked it out and it is really impressive, but since we don't speak French here at BMX Mania, we didn't totally understand everything but we understand good riding and good coaching and Alex seems to have some of both in his video.

So if you speak French, check it out......If you have someone you know who can translate it for you, check it out.....If you don't speak or have someone who does speak French, check it out anyway, cuz it has a bunch of cool BMX stuff in it! Yee Haw!!!!!

BMX Rules, huh?
