Superfinal time trials decided Chula Vista CA March 30, 2012 – The opening round of the 2012 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup series got underway in Chula Vista, Calif. on Friday with Connor Fields (USA) and Caroline Buchannan (AUS) taking the victories in the men’s and women’s time trial superfinal. Nearly 200 of the world’s best BMX racers challenged the Beijing-replica track on the campus of the U.S. Olympic Training Center in the race against the clock. For the finals on 31st of March 64 men and 32 women qualified. Olympic year heats up competition With the start of an Olympic year the field was stacked with nearly 200 riders and all the major players in attendance. After one round of time trials the best 16 men and ladies qualified for the time trial superfinals. Fields posted the fastest time of the nearly 150 elite men in the opening time trial heat. Olympic gold medalist Maris Strombergs (LAT) finished second and the reigning USA Cycling National Champion Corben Sharrah took third spot. Connor Fields said: “I grew up on this track,” explained Fields. “I started riding it in 2008 and so I know it like the back of my hand now. It was a good start to an important season, but you are only as good as your last race and there is another race tomorrow.” Buchanan peaks at the right moment. Like Strombergs on the men’s side, Australian Caroline Buchannan was the only rider standing between an American podium sweep in the time trial Superfinal. The fourth-ranked rider in last year’s UCI BMX Supercross World Cup standings, Buchannan edged American favorite Arielle Martin by less than 4/10ths of a second. Along with Martin, Amanda Carr (USA) upped her game to secure the bronze in the Superfinal. Listen to her reaction here. 64 men and 32 women to finals With their performances Fields and Buchannan secure the top spots going into tomorrow’s main event. In total, Fields will be among the 64 who qualified for Saturday’s 1/8 finals and Buchanan will lead the 32 women for the quarterfinals.

Hyper Factory Pro, Donny 'dR' Robinson has had a tough time at the site of this weekend's site for UCI BMX Supercross, Round 1 ..... The U.S. Olympic Training Center at Chula Vista. In this video interview from Pat Nugent's, BMX Blog on ESPN Action Sports, dR talks about his ups and downs in Chula Vista and in BMX in general over the last couple years since his big Bronze Medal win at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. It's been a TOUGH race for Donnie including multiple SERIOUS crashes, hospital stays, surgeries and recovery. BUT!!!!! You can't EVER count Donnie out. As long as this Mega Pro can throw a leg over a BMX bike, he'll be scratchin', clawin' and swoopin' his way around a BMX track, and probably the competition. Who knows, maybe even a berth on the U.S. Olympic Team 2012? Pat's media with dR, HERE! |

MARCH MADNESS FROM |
|
FBN/HYPER FACTORY TEAM! |
|
|
|
Our birthday girl, Emily Krickler put on quite a show in MoTown. On day 1 she was sent OVER the first turn in the 31-35 girls cru main event. On day 2 she joined teammate Susie Levan, who made her team debut this weekend, in 36-40 girls cruiser class. They dominated the main event going one and two as Emily took the win.
Layne Gainer continues to impress with his speed and style, scoring a 2nd and 3rd in 17-20 cruiser and working his way through quarters to the 17-18x main on day 1 before he slid out in turn one going for the lead.
CJ Fisher made the trip and picked up a pair of thirds in the 16 cruiser class, thanks to his ODI locking grips and Thomson stem. Jim Paiva was at the front of the pack all weekend long in the 46-50 cruiser class, a class that saw 4 racks on day 2, scoring a 2nd in day 1’s main and leading day 2’s main to the last turn where he was put up high and settled for 3rd.
Lance McGuire toughed it out with injured leg suffered in Saturday morning’s practice session, settling for a pair of 3rds in the 28-35 expert class. Lance was seen most of the weekend with his Thomson seatpost at full mast cruising around the parking lot trying to keep his leg loose.
Cam and Maddy Mason
were in the house and having a great
time. Maddy had a birthday since the
Oldsmar event and worked her way to
the 7 girls main on day 2.
Up next for the team is the USA BMX
Dixieland Nationals in Powder
Springs, GA. This will be preceded
by a short southern states clinic
tour of two to three stops en route
to the event.

Morphine Industries Straps it on in Morristown Photos courtesy of Mike Carruth/BMXnews.com and Calbee Mundy/Snapcult
With rumors and whisperings that this Morristown was going to be bigger than ever. The Morphine crew strapped it on from all over the country and head to the Smokeys for the sport that we love…BMX.
When we rolled into town, it was obvious that USABMX was going to put on a show with a great track and all we had to do with provide the riding….and riding we did. With no AA PRO or Vet PRO racing we unfortunately were sans a few riders from the fam but solid none the less.
A PRO- Jason LaRev showed his usually skill and style but he came to abrupt halt with a mishap down the first straight and a slam into the double before the first turn. He settled watching the weekend with no broken bones but definitely some bruises.
36-40X Doran Bradshaw threw is down living up to his newly donned SOB title. Doran delivered a podium spot on 20” with a tre and a 4th place spot on his cruiser. Sunday Doran came right back with a 5th on his cruiser and a podium spot again on the 20”. Amazing how he goes to bed before 4am on Saturday night.
19-27X Brandon McCoy started his assault on the overall title with a stacked class of 45 plus riders. Brandon battled for the top spot both days with Austin Loebe swapping spots. BMC settled for the deuce on Saturday and took the top spot on Sunday.
16 X Jared Johnson looked on point for the weekend but forced to step up another notch with outside lane choices most of the weekend. Jared laid down some great moves and took a 5th on Saturday and a 4th on Sunday.
13X Richie Dey brought his usual high flying skills and determination to Morristown. He got edged out of the main on Saturday but came back with a vengeance on Sunday to get an outside gate and finish at the line with a 6th.
10 Girls Kinley Buelvas repped the pink, black and white with skill. She rolled through her motos to make the main both days. Kinley took a 6th on Saturday and a 5th on Sunday.

London calling BMX Supercross riders, first stop, Chula Vista |
|
|
|
Connor Fields, crossing the finish line with a huge win at the 2011 UCI BMX Supercross Chula Vista event. |
|
Official UCI BMX Supercross News Release - With only 135 days to go to the start of the 2012 London Olympic Games, London is calling upon the best Elite BMX riders worldwide to qualify. The UCI BMX Supercross World Cup Series races are the main qualification events for the Olympic Games and are a major opportunity for riders to score valuable points. The first opportunity to do so is at the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup, scheduled for 30th – 31st March in Chula Vista, California. Around 35 seconds - that is all it takes to race a Supercross track - giving all eight riders a fighting chance to win this explosive battle. It is impossible to predict who will be this year’s top rider, but looking at previous results, and at the top five countries, we might want to keep an eye out for current World Champion Joris Daudet (FRA). Connor Fields (USA) had a great end of the 2011 season as well, winning the last event in California. Current Olympic Champion Maris Strombergs (LAT) is always a fierce competitor as is Sam Willoughby (AUS) - winner of the 2009 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup. Among the Elite Women current World Champion Mariana Pajon (COL) looks strong and is tipped as one of the favorites to claim top honors in 2012. Caroline Buchanan is the best performing Australian rider, and while American Arielle Martin is being challenged by a number of talented young girls, it still looks like she is the American to beat in 2012. From France we see a number of women Elite riders that are on a par, such as Laetitia Le Corguille and Magalie Pottier. At the last 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, France was the strongest nation; question is, will it be again in 2012? Romana Labounkova was the best performing Czech rider at the UCI BMX World championships in Denmark in 2011 ranking 13th, but will she hold her country’s position in the top five this year? Then there are two women riders, standing out almost alone, that represent their countries at the highest level. Sarah Walker (NZL) and Shanaze Reade (GBR) were top performers in the last Olympiad, but their countries are not represented in the top five ranking this time around. Although work is already under way to build a 'London 2012 replica track' in Chula Vista, the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup will be held on the existing well-known Supercross track; regarded by many as the best and fastest track in the world. The 2012 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup is proudly sponsored by GoPro, Oakley, Red Bull, Troy Lee Designs, Leatt and ProGate. Stops on the 2012 UCI BMX Supercross World Cup circuit include: Chula Vista, CA USA, 30th – 31st March ..... Randaberg, Norway, 13th – 14th April ..... Papendal, Netherlands, 12th – 13th May ..... Abbotsford, Canada, 14th – 15th September. |

| USABMX SUPERNATIONALS, SUNDAY WRAP UP! |
 |
|
It was a rockin' and rollin' weekend at the USABMX Supernationals at Metroplex BMX in Desoto, Texas. A BIG number of Elite Men's riders waded thru quarters to see Redline's, Sam Willoughby double with a second big win for the weekend. Many of the top U.S. pros were gone, evidently resting up for next week's UCI BMX Supercross event at the U.S. Olympic Center in Chula Vista, California. The competition was hot enough without them in Texas though, as many of the top European Elites were in the house. Olympians on the gate was almost the rule, not the exception. Matisons, Nhlapo, Robinson, Strombergs, Willers, Dodet, and the list goes on! Sam was on the gas, though, and sent a big message to the competition, as he nailed the wins with determination and confidence. Wanna check out more from Sunday's big race? Click here or on Sam/above to take a look at complete results and a new awesome race action photo gallery of your favorite elite riders doing it up on the race track. |

| Some ‘Double’ Damage in DeSoto by Team Redline |
|
On Saturday, Redline lined up Sam Willoughby, Tory Nyhaug, French rider Damien Godet, and getting faster every day, hometown star Denzel Stein. When it came to the final, Tory Nyhaug took a strong sixth and Sam Willoughby gapped the field for a decisive win in the Elite Men’s event.
In the Women’s Elite event, Alise Post reconfirmed that her successful comeback from injury is for-real by placing as the top US rider in third place.
TM Jason Carnes not only kept the RL team machine running smoothly, but he also had a successful day on the track against the always tough Vet Pro field. Fourth place for Jason!
Sunday was another bright,
sunny day for the Red, White
and Black. In the Elite
Men’s event, Sam Willoughby
completed his ‘double’ for
the weekend by winning
against
In addition to Redline’s top guns, Redline also had a strong showing by it’s Regional Development Teams including Florida based Redline/M-1, Texas based ORP, Minnesota based Redline/Adventure and California based Redline/Bike Alley. A big shout-out goes to ORP rider Paige Norton who won the 14 girls events both days on her freshly hand autographed Redline/Alise Post Flight frame!
Redline riders Elliott McGrath of Stile Industries/Redline and Travis Ohrazda also made the journey to Desoto to compete in the always competitive A-Pro class.
The Super National in Desoto served as a final tune-up for the Redline pros as they now move on to Chula Vista where they will begin their final push for the London Olympics on the Olympic Training Center Supercross track.
Joining the team in Chula Vista will be AM #1 Josh Klatman who will be competing in both the So Cal National as well as the first USAC Collegiate National Championships.
Race fans can follow Redline riders on both Facebook and Twitter by finding Redline Bicycles on either service.
