SpeedTech Continues Winning Streak @ Old Dominion Nats!

The speedTech crew rolled into to city by the bay with almost a full roster.

Charlie Biggs, Ian Noerenberg, John Noerenberg, Steven Penland, Jake Pischke, Mikey Hewitt, TyGibbs, Kevin Ortiz, Jamie Ortiz, Bryce Easter, Dylan Dellinger & Emeligh Larson all were on hand looking for NAG points!

Many of the crew took podium finishes & wins in route to SpeedTech’s 1^st place finish in Bike Shop on Saturday.

The crew edged out a victory by 1 point over the always potent Deluxx Bicycles crew.

Sunday the crew came out firing on all cylinders once again with most of the team qualifying out of the mottos in the 1^st round.

Between rounds the crew could be found in the pit area hanging out & staying hydrated. (Thanks to the Hampton crew for pit spot next to the porta potties…hahahahaha)

Come main event time everyone was ready to rock.

Leading the charge was John Noernberg who would win an epic Battle in 40-44 cruiser.

This is John’s 1^st win after bunch of podiums.

Not to be outdone by dad, Ian Noerenberg broke out of his shell & took a 2^nd in 14 Expert…Ian’s been training hard & the it’s starting to come together for him…Emeligh Larson would also double down on wins in Class & Cruiser.

Bryce Easter would come up little short of another double/double, but a 1^st in 10 Cruiser & 2^nd in 10Expert wasn’t shabby at all….Also holding it down for the SpeedTech Brat Pack was Ty Gibbs taking down another win in 8 cruiser & Charlie Biggs taking down the win in 7 Inter & Open.

Charlie is a sneeze away from the expert group and he’s been training his rear end off in preparation for the move.

Dylan Dellinger also made another competitive 9X main cruising through mottos & semi’s.

The team would end up 2^nd on Sunday in Bike Shop, but the weekend was just what the SpeedTech faithful came to do.

The weekend’s points pushed the team up to 10^th in the overall standings with one more score to add & few low ones to drop.

The crew’s next race will be on home soil at Burlington BMX in July.

Huge Thanks to our sponsors: Shift / Thalle Construction / Powers Bike Shop / Rennen / HRP / Kovachi

Race Report: Speed BMX's, Marc Willers Wins in Papendal

Here's a good story for you.....The BIG Bad UCI SX race at the Dutch Olympic Training Center in Papendal was one of the wildest ever, with a LONNNNNG crazy track, wild weather and what some have said was a 'home track advantage' to the already powerful Dutch Team.

Well.....Marc Willers pulled out a HUGE win and here's the story, straight from the man hisself, 'Chillers'.

Marc had lots to be worried about. He had a 'not the best' Time Trials, then in his second moto/1/8th, he had a really rough time in the 'S-Turn', unclipping and nearly swerving off the track.

All of that could have turned a lesser rider around, but Marc dug deep, overcame some of the greatest BMX riders in the world and pulled off a tremendous win.

Here's the story......Well I finally managed to get the win! I wouldn’t say I put together a clean lap, but I got the win!

Papendal, the Netherlands, was the site of the Supercross World Cup Number 2. The track was rumored to be similar to the London Olympic track, so everybody was keen to have a crack at it. The track itself looked like a lot of fun, but more so for training and solo runs rather than racing eight deep.

The track had everything an Olympic medal should be decided on: a MASSIVE first straight, BIG second straight pro doubles, which went into a questionable hip/S-bend/into-box-jump/into-weird-drop-off. Then there was a grueling dig for speed to get down the extremely technical third straight rhythm section and then onto the deep last straight. Not to forget the track is 75 meters longer than the 35 years of BMX rules have allowed them to be. Needless to say, it was a burn.

If the sheer size of the track wasn’t daunting enough, Mother Nature decided to do her best to kill off any skeptics, and that she did. The wind was horrific all week and every time we started a lap it would be blowing a different way. With the elevation changes of the track, one minute it was dead calm when you were down below the face of a jump, and then the second you took off, you could be blown in any direction.

Racing was crazy. I’ll be the first to admit I was scared and after the second round of motos I was having doubts and thinking of pulling the pin. I managed to clear my head and put together a solid third lap with a win. The quarterfinal went smoothly and I got another win. By now the body was really starting to feel the hurt. I hadn’t managed to put a clean lap together yet, which meant I was only making it harder for myself, as keeping your flow on a track like this is essential.

Not having been beaten down the first straight all week, I felt I could get the job done from a slightly outside lane when I couldn’t get my favorite Lane 1. Leading into the first turn in the Semi, Holland’s Jelle Van Gorkom took a sharp inside line and pulled off a nice move to take over the lead. With such a tight line, though, he struggled for speed over the first pro double and came up short.

I went to the right in case it got nasty, but USA’s Corben Sharrah poked his wheel up the inside over the second jump. I saw him coming and with the S-bend heading his direction it was about to get tight. I had a slight lead as we jumped and, sadly, he fell victim to the poorly designed hip jump and went over the back of me. If it weren’t for that part of the track, it would have been a much better race. When good side-by-side racing ends up like that and ruins the day for one of the best riders in the world, then something ain’t right.

The main event couldn’t have come any sooner as the clouds opened literally as soon as the start call began. We all got out of the gate evenly so it was time to do work. Getting a slight lead over the first jump I managed to increase it by a bike length or so into the first corner. Australia’s Sam Willoughby went for an inside line, but lost his grip. I had an immediate flash back to the World Championships main last year. From then on, I put together my best lap of the day and crossed the line for my first World Cup win in nearly four years.

I want to give a massive thanks to all my sponsors and supporters Speed Bicycles, THE, Sinz Elite, ITS, Swatch Watches, Shimano, Bikenz and SPARC.

2011 UCI BMX Supercross

in Sarasota cancelled

14 July 2011 - The UCI and Global SX Events Inc. announced yesterday that the 4th leg of the 2011 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup, scheduled for 16-17 September 2011 in Sarasota Florida (USA), has unfortunately been cancelled and will not be replaced.

The local organizer, Sarasota County has decided to withdraw from the organization of this event.

“Sarasota was indeed a great location for a BMX Supercross World Cup, and up until this point we were impressed with their plans for BMX” says Johan Lindstrom, CEO of Global SX Events Inc. “The disappointment is obviously that we are convinced that this could have been resolved if Sarasota County had been more diligent in addressing pending issues.”

UCI President, Pat McQuaid expressed his disappointment at the cancellation today which he termed as a “real blow for the whole BMX family.”

He reiterated the importance of the series in the UCI calendar. “The 2011 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup has seen exceptional growth this season, in terms of participation, on-site spectator numbers and TV viewing ” McQuaid said.

“The series has continued to grow in strength throughout 2011 and the UCI is very pleased with the unprecedented growth in the BMX discipline. It is our fastest growing Olympic cycling discipline” he added.

The next leg three of the UCI BMX Supercross will be held in the Olympic venue in London next month.

The updated 2011 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup calendar:
8-9 April 2011 Round 1 Pietermaritzburg, South Africa
27-28 May 2011 Round 2 Papendal, Netherlands
19-20 Aug 2011 Round 3 London, Great Britain
30 Sep-1 Oct 2011 Round 5 Chula Vista CA, USA

Check Out Marc Willers, Speed Factory / UCI Worlds Edition Bike!

Check out the factory rocket that Speed BMX just did for their Factory Superstar, Marc Willers for the Worlds.

The wheels are 20-mil front and rear, with a one-off, custom Ryan Hollows/Race Ceramics freewheel/rear hub laced to Sinz Elite Pro rim and a stock Sinz Elite 20-mil iHub wheel up front. Marc will use the frame and fork and wheels for racing at the UCI Worlds. The other parts are a mix of new stuff for 2012 and some stuff that they had around the Speed office to beat the deadline of a photo shoot.

New for 2012 are the black Sinz Elite XXX cranks (also available in red, white, blue); Sinz Elite Pro BB with tapered roller bearings (currently available) and Sinz Integrated Headset in white (also currently available).

Also, note, prototype number plate.

Helmet is a THE T2 Knight with custom stickers.

There's a good chance this paint job, minus the chrome stickers and New Zealand graphic references, will make it into the 2012 product line.

Factory Felt/SC Actionsports team Rules In South Park

South Park has always been the track to test your mettle and this past weekend it proved it once again. The Factory Felt / SC Actionsports team went in to test themselves against one of the gnarliest tracks in the country.

The track did take a bite out of us in the name of Meredith Lidstone in the second moto of the weekend Meredith went over the bars down the front straight and face planted causing a laceration over her eye which took 8 stitches to close. Everyone knows Meredith is as tough as nails and will back soon enough.

On a good note Victor Behm 17X/Cr was putting on a clinic over the two pro jumps on both 20" and cruiser. Victor finished the weekend with two wins on cruiser and a 2nd on 20". Dylan Perez 18X was going fast all weekend and just couldn't find his way into the main.

Anthony Catlow 13X was simply on fire dominating the competition all weekend with perfects both days. Ricky Castro 10x/cr acme all the way in from NorCal just to see what all the hype was about South Park and was very impressive taking wins both days on cruiser and a 2nd on day#1 and winning day#2 on 20".

Gabe Hatem 10x was battling Ricky all weekend on 20" and swapped wins for the weekend. These two are not only super competitive with each other but are best of friends off the track. Marcus Christopher 8x/cr took on some of the best 8x's and showed why he needs to be recognized as one of the best 8x's in the country.

Marcus finished the weekend with double perfects on cruiser and a 1st and 2nd on 20". Samantha Brown 15G battled hard all weekend and took home a 2nd on day#1 and a win on day#2 nice job SamWoWW!

The race of the weekend had to go to our very own Alaina Henderson Elite Women who was battling Brooke Crain and was able to STICK a jump pass into the second turn that bought the crowd to their feet! Just about everyone there was convinced that that move was impossible to make without severe consequences and Alaina proved them all wrong. It was an insane move by a very determined talented rider. She went on to win both days.

The Factory Felt/SC Actionsports team kept their streak going with their seventh national team win in a row scoring 323 pts on day#1 and 325 pts on day#2. Big props to the South Park staff and track operator for having the track race ready after a torrential rain fall on friday. The new track design was incredible and the added pro jump coming out of the second turn was crazy!

I would like to thank all our sponsors that help us make this happen...Alan Foster at FeltBMX, Scotty Cranmer at SC Actionsports, Gus at Profile Racing, Ray at Fly Racing, Pete at BRG, RiderzReady, Vans, JohnsonBMX.

Darryn looked comfortable on Day 2 winning laps again but finished out the main in 3rd place behind newly crowed European Champion Benjamin Jansens from France who put a solid perfect lap together winning the main event and the overall title.

New Rhythm "Section" Wheels n Hubs From Crupi!

Baldwin Park, California – Crupi Parts, Inc is proud to announce the release of the new Rhythm Section Wheel and hub sets. The first edition of Rhythm wheels and hubs were so successful that we made the new wheels and hubs a priority to make them even better than before!

Rhythm "Section" hub sets are considered the most "user friendly" cassette hub on the market! The driver has been seriously upgraded and now features a new Micro-Drive system that has 204 points of engagement. The benefit to the multiple points of engagement is constant power at higher speeds where lower end hubs can give you interrupted engagements which may slow you down when you need power!. The hub also features an integrated bushing system which reduces weight and makes the hub even more durable. Check out the list of features this hub set has:

6061 T-6 CNC Machined aluminum bodies
204 actual points of engagement
The 4 cog spacers allow you to position the cog where it provides the best chain alignment
Hub set comes with a 16t Crupi Cog but is designed to work with any Shimano compatible cog and any Shimano type tool will remove the cog
All Rhythm front hubs are designed to be radial laced; if you want to!
MR24 (24H) front hubs feature an aluminum front axle & chromoly rear where the EXR28 and PRO36 hubs use chromoly axles throughout for strength
Aluminum drivers provide plenty of strength while keeping the weight down on our 24H and 28H models but the Pro 36H hub uses a chromoly driver making it stronger than ever!
The Pro hub has a solid axle which reduces flex and keeps the power going directly into your forward motion. This new Pro36 hub will rival any Pro hub on the market if not surpass it!

Our 2012 Rhythm Section wheels are now in stock and they are better than ever! Rhythm Section wheels feature our new micro-adjust Section hubs which have 3X the engagements as our previous model hubs making them stronger and quicker. New colors and graphics make them even look fast!

Visit your nearest dealer to see the new wheels or go to our website at crupibmx.com to find all the details on them.

Two mains again for Moana Moo-Caille

at the two last Euro rounds in Netherland!

Last weekend took place the two last European rounds for Elite and Junior categories at Haaskbergen in Holland. The track was fast and with many jumps and many riders went there to finalize their preparation before the World Championship of this end of July. So it was not surprising to see some riders from outside Europe competing at this race like Columbian, Canadian, Australian….and even the World and Olympic Champion, Maris Stromberg was there to sign his come back after a long injury.

Mr Moana Moo-caille, our Prophecy team rider was there too, part of the French national team wearing the blue national jersey…Moana confirmed that he is more and more ready on his Prophecy BMX Scud carbon scoring two finals. Moana finished 5^th Saturday after a bad start in final and to great 2^nd place on Sunday following Mr Joris Daudet very close from his back wheel all around the track.

So Mr. Daudet gets a new victory in this championship and looks invincible even if Moana getting closer and closer…Congratulation to Mr Joris Daudet for this record of 12 victories consecutively on 12 rounds and congratulation to Moana for all his victories of the Sunday in qualification until the fabulous 2^nd place inside this historical final!!!

Next race will be the World Championship in Copenhagen end of July, all our riders Joey Bradford, Moana Moo-caille and Henrik Baltzersen will be there to try to get this World title…Prophecy BMX will be there too…so if you see someone with a Prophecy BMX T-shirt go and see him to ask free stickers of your favorite brand…..

The Beast, Tedesco's & South Park!

Join the Warren's as they ride from Florida thru the BMX countryside, to the NBL Grands in Louisville, Kentucky. This week, The Beast gets back in touch with some of BMX's best.....People and Tracks!

This past week has been a mixed bag of dog racing, drag racing, bike racing and bike pushing.

The Johnstown BMX track gave Coco (Our dog) the opportunity to race the final 2 straights while we waited for mains to be posted. Coco’s short stature didn’t stop her from jumping the doubles as she chased her mom, the Beast, to the finish line.

It was a crowd pleaser and made a great memory for us to keep, too.

While staying at the Keystone State Park, Westmoreland’s track director, Steve, called and let us know that we were only 5 miles from where Bob Tedesco manages a race car track.

Tedesco had been one of the Beast’s most supportive fans during her early career and the Beast was thrilled at the thought of seeing him.

She promptly instructed Frankenbutt to switch her clip pedals from her road bike to her race bike, fearing that Bob Tedesco might not recognize her without her race bike.

Saturday!!!!! - Joris Daudet Wins

11th of 12 Euro Rounds!

Laëtitia is back!!!!!

French phenom, & UCI World #3, Joris Daudet continues his HUGE winning streak with a MAJOR Euro Rounds win, Saturday at Haaksbergen, NL.

Joris lofted his streak to an unheard of 11 of 11 wins.....One more win tomorrow makes it all 12! Never before done in Euro BMX history!!!!!

Joris Daudet chasing record after sensational win

According to Janne Kuipers, I-vents.NL, He already was the European champion. But Joris Daudet did what a sportsman has to do: prove that he deserve the title. Today (Sunday) Daudet can break a record. He won eleven out of eleven rounds. Twelve out of twelve is writing history.

It was sensational, how Daudet and Olympic champion Maris Strombergs raced in the final. As if the Frenchman passed a stationary obstacle.....the acceleration was that high. "Fantastic. This is very special", concludes Daudet after his maximum score. "It would be wonderful for me to win that twelfth round. A record. Never before anyone succeeded that, so that's now my goal. My God, if it would work... But I have to focus again. And hope I can make such an accomplishment. That would be great.”

The French double dipped for TWO BIG WINS with Laëtitia Le Corguille back from a season long absence to dominate the Elite Women's field with a big win on Saturday's Round 11. Just in time for the UCI BMX World Championships in Denmark.

BMX MANIA PRO TRAINING CAMP.....HAVIN' SOME FUN, GETTIN' bmx SCHOOLED!

We just got thru with two days of BMX Mania Pro Training Camp with two of the BEST riders, ever......Cristian Becerine and Kyle Bennett from the Free Agent/Rockstar Factory Team along with Brian Strieby from the BMX Mania Factory Team. What a GREAT time of training for the campers and a lot of fun for BMX Mania and the pros!

The two day camp kicked off, Tuesday with the campers arriving and getting warmed up on the track, which is one of the best in the midwest. Kyle and Cristian motored on in to the camp after a LONG day of travel from the ABA National in Utah, but they were raring to go and we got camp started for it's sixteen year of productivity! Joining the Free Agent boys (Due to Ramiro Marino getting stuck in Argentina) was BMX Mania Factory Team Pro, Brian Strieby, no stranger to training camps and one of the smoothest riders around

The first thing we do at BMX Mania Camp is to divide up the camp in to approximately a 5 to 1 camper to instructor ratio so that each camper gets personal attention. No huge herds of BMX Racers being herded around by a couple of BMX Instructors, here, we get personal. Kyle took the older more experienced group and Cristian and Brian took the younger less experienced group and camp was underway. Kyle took his gang down the road a bit to Pike Lake and started out with some advanced sprint techniques. Brian and Cristian rode over to the gate to get on some good gate training......Wanna find out more? Check out the BMX Mania Pro Training Camp Report Page, by clickin' HERE!
