CycleCraft Factory Team Battles At NBL Fall Classic
The 2010 NBL Fall Classic at Sarasota BMX was the debut race for the new CycleCraft Factory Team. The team results were as positive as the feedback on the new team uniform, let’s face it, teal and purple look awesome. Thanks to a tremendous effort and showing by the team, CycleCraft won the National Team competition both days. The Elite Open series in the NBL is always stacked with a strong group of Super Ex riders. The Fall Classic was no exception. CycleCraft Factory Super Ex Ron Vega was able to work his way through the pack to make the main. After an exciting pro introduction roll out, accompanied by lovely young ladies throwing t-shirts, Vega was ready to get to business. Ron was with the pack through the first corner, but got pinched and lost his momentum. He was able to recover for a sixth place finish. Day two was much better for Ron. After another great roll out, a repeat of day one, Vega was able to work his way up to a second place finish in the main. Following the Fall Classic, Vega is off to represent Puerto Rico at a UCI sanctioned race in Brazil. It was exciting seeing 10 Expert Justice Gagnon tearing it up in a stacked class. When you come out ahead of this class, you have really accomplished something. Not only did Justice win his main both days, he won the Regional Championship main, and had a perfect weekend, Justice did not lose a race. Two things stand out about Justice, he races hard every lap and he has a heck of a lot of fun in the pits. Cody Simson was looking good challenging the always tough 14 Expert class. On day one Cody raced his way to a third in the main and on day two, he worked his way through the pack to a second place finish. Look for Cody to really push the class on his new CycleCraft aluminum Pro XL. We are looking for this to be a great year for Mr. Simson. How about those CycleCraft Factory girl riders? Both factory girl riders were out to make a statement this weekend. Bianca “Binks” Dean was busy picking her way through a stacked 13 Girls class. On day one Binks finished second in all races including her main. Bianca was flying through her motos in the Regional Championship and ended up with a second in the main. Day two turned out to be a repeat of day one for Bianca, flying around the track finishing second in the main. We are looking forward to watching Binks achieve quite a few podiums during the 2010 national season. In the 15 Girls class, Kate Moore was working to make a name for herself during the 2010 NBL National Season. After a third place finish on day one, Kate was out to prove that she can challenge for a win. Day two was not going to be a letdown for Kate. Kate had a strong gate in the main and took the lead in the first corner. By the time the riders were heading for the stripe the rest of the group had closed the gap. After banging all the way to the finish line, Kate had achieved her first win of the season. The CycleCraft cruiser riders put on a good show in Sarasota. John Comerford, fresh off of his 2009 national number 4 campaign was back at it again. The 30-34 Cruiser riders are always a hard riding group, this weekend was no different. John was one race shy of a perfect for the weekend. But at any rate, John was able to better this group for two main wins. Factory rider and CycleCraft co-owner Patrick Deats was out to prove that the riders in the 45-49 Cruiser class can go big and go fast just like the younger riders. As Patrick led from gate to stripe on every race he entered for the weekend, including both Nationals and the Regional Championship, the track announcer starting calling him Mr. Smooth. Mr. Smooth has decided that he is going to make the push for a national number one in 2010. In addition to the great performances put in by the CycleCraft Factory Riders the CycleCraft Co-Factory Team was also rockin’ at Sarasota. Chargin Chance Moore was looking good but took a hard fall in his very first moto in 12 Novice putting him on the sidelines for the remainder of the weekend with an injured shoulder. We wish Chance a speedy recovery. Thomas Marchese had his work cut out for him in 13X and worked hard barely missing making his mains. Allison Marchese took it to the 11 Girls class with 2nd in the SE Regional, 3rd and 2nd respectively for the Nationals. Look out all you 11 Girls, Allison’s on fire! Another of our CycleCraft girls, 10 year old Brittany Marsh, also did well making her mains with 3rd in the SE Regional and 4th on both days of Nationals. Cory Briggs has been out with broken arms and returned just to race the SE Regional and placed 3rd in 15 Novice. Chris “Freebird” Pio has the heart of a lion when it comes to any type of competition and really is a rider to watch in the 32 Novice class with 2nd for the Regional, and 1st and 2nd for the Nationals. Our newest co-factory team members are father and son Richard Snipes (41 Novice) and Brendon Kozicki (11 Novice) and both did very well on the weekend. Guess the new CycleCraft frame Rich is on was workin’ for him because he scored a 4th for the Regional, and won his first National Saturday, then took 2nd on Sunday. Brendon also did very well with 3rd for the Regional and a pair of 2nd place finished for the Nationals. The CycleCraft Factory Team is supported by a great group of co-sponsors, including: Profile Racing (profileracing.com), No Fear (nofear.com), Sinz Racing (sinz-racing.com), Fly Racing (flyracing.com), Intense Tire Systems (intensetires.com), MCS Bicycles (mcsbicycles.com), Odyssey BMX (odysseybmx.com), CyberHorse Sportswear (chsportswear.com), 24/Seven Graphics (24sevengraphics.com), HRP Designs (hrpdesigns.com), Kovachi Wheels (kovachiwheels.com), Carrollwood Bicycle Emporium (cbebikes.com) Look for the CycleCraft Factory Team at the Florida SSA races and several NBL and ABA Nationals throughout the country.

Dan’s Competition NBL Grands
Report
The traditional end of the summer
race in Louisville KY saw the guys from Dan’s ready to continue the work they
had set out to do under their new colors, have fun, represent Dan’s Competition
& sponsors, and prove that they get serious when it’s show time on a BMX track.
Matt Polkamp is always a crowd favorite with his big smile and his ability to be in the mix at any race. This year saw a couple of wins along with some podium finishes in a very talented AA class. The Friday night last chance qualifier had many of the top AA’s & Matt was right in the mix finishing 6th. He followed up on Saturday with great riding, but crashed in the main. Matt is often featured on websites & in trade mags sporting his Celly Smelly trademark jersey with his awesome riding style.
The A pro class has had some of
the best racing all year between many first year A pros, and Dan’s Weston Pope
was always seen in the mix. The A pro main event on Friday demonstrated the
depth of the talent in one of the crowd’s favorite classes to watch with Weston
battling to get a 5th. Saturday night’s pro spectacular also saw
Weston out front, only to get passed by several of his friends & competitors
ending up with a 3rd and overall #5 for the year. This was no small
feat considering Weston is also a world champion mountain biker & attends
college fulltime. Thanks Weston for being a great role model to the teenagers
demonstrating that you can “do it all”.
The Vet Pro Class used to be just for guys over 30 that didn’t want to quit riding a kid’s bike. Well if you paid much attention this year to this class, the talent is much deeper than just any 8 main gate. Scott Moreland’s first year in this talented class had Scott learning how to juggle career, family & training for the first time. Scott had a successful Grands with a solid 6th on Saturday and finished overall #8. This was following a great World’s Race where Scott earned W#6. Scott’s leadership to the younger guys on the Dan’s team is why friendship, competition & success can all be had no matter what your age
Dan’s east coast rider, 15X Justin Posey almost didn’t make the Grands this year. Playing around in the neighborhood 2 weeks before the Grands sent him to the ER with severe ankle & ligament sprain. He spent the next 2 weeks on crutches, ice packs & physical therapy saying he wasn’t going unless he could win. Well,apparently the rest & determination must have worked as Justin won all of his motos & the main in 15X and won the cruiser title in the 15-16 Cruiser class. JP is a text book case of patience to all of the boys out there who are “smaller” than everyone else in their class, sometimes it just takes a couple of years!
Dan’s west coaster Alden Volle had a fantastic year winning main events from coast to coast. The 13X class is very deep in talent, and Alden was riding awesome and was seen out front in motos and semis throughout the weekend. Alden was just coming off a rough trip to Australia because of the flu during the entire trip, and was ready to make a run at the NBL title. Alden had a tough gate in the main, and couldn’t make up enough ground to get to the front, but as always he rode like a champion. Alden was one of the top 13 year olds to make the 13-14 cruiser main. Look for big things to come for Alden.
Many thanks to Dan’s Competition for allowing us to represent them as well as our co sponsors: Staats, Celly Smelly’s, Tangent, Fly, Vapor & Alienation.
Supercross BMX congratulates 2 new ABA #1 Pros!!
Last weekend in a town of Chilliwack, B.C. Canada, the ABA held their Canadian ABA Grandnationals and crowned a new Canadian Pro King and Queen.
And we here at Supercross BMX are proud to call the new Canadian ABA #1 Pro and Women Pro our own. For the ABA #1 Canadian Pro Title, Jimmy Brown came from behind, as he was not listed in the hunt for the title when the weekend started and lap by lap seemed to go faster not losing a single lap and taking the win for the weekend both days and ending up with his first Pro Title.
On the Womens Side, Supercross BMX's Kaila Sweeney was the reigning holder of the crown and went in to the Canadian ABA Grands in the lead to repeat her title and cinched the title chase by winning every lap on the Billy Allen built ABA Grands track to take the #1 Women's Pro Title home for the second year in a row.
Supercross BMX, and it's team co-sponsors of Alienation BMX, No Fear MX, Block Jerseys, Kid Fuel, Speedline Parts, No Fear Energy, DVS Shoes, MJT Banners, TECH BMX Products, ODI Grips, and ESK Clothing all thank Jimmy and Kaila for a great year of racing and are looking forward to the 2010 season.

King Of The Empire
Series To Support Charity
The "King of the Empire" Pro/Am Series is pleased to announce our support of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation . During the course of the 2010 season there will be donation cans set up at all King of the Empire qualifying events as well as the championship race. In addition to the donation cans we will be donating 5-7% of the TOTAL series intake to the fight against childhood cancer. It's that time of year where we will begin our hunt for sponsors for next season. I urge all past and potential new sponsors to dig deep into their leftover stock in their warehouse. The more prizes that we can raffle off, the larger the end of the year donation will be. If you would like to make a direct donation please follow the King Of The Empire link above. I'm sure with the continued support from the industry and sites like Gabe Hatem's "Boy and a Bike" site. We as a community can make a difference. Clint Bonnett - Director, NYS Pro/Am Series |

STUMP DAWG DOUBLES AT THE ABA GOLDEN STATE NATIONALS
GHP
FACTORY RACING - Randy Stumpfhauser was on fire all weekend. The AA
Pro class didn't know what had hit them when the gate dropped for the
main events over the weekend. In fact he won every moto, semi, and main
events. With these finishes the points chase for the ABA 2009 AA Title
is pretty much a dead tie and will come down to the main at the grands.
Robby Patterson ripped it up in the 17-18x class with a 3rd on saturday and a 2nd behind Connor Fields on sunday. Robby has been training and racing like crazy and is looking to make a top showing at the grands.
Other top dogs on the GHP factory team are new riders Austin Barrette who doubled in the 11x and 11-12 open on Sunday and Justin Hendley who scored a win in 9x saturday with top scores in cruiser and class all weekend. These new riders have been working hard and they put it together for Lancaster.
In addition the GHP amatuer program had many other great finishes from EJ Pasowicz making all of his mains in 10x and 10c, Dakota Baca making all mains in 12x and 12C, Zach Zito made both 14C mains, and Ted (pedro) brown taking a 2nd and a 3rd in 28-35x.

University of BMX Old School BMX Reunion Slagharen, Netherlands
News & Fotos/Bart De Jong-FatBMX.com & Gerrit Does/University of BMX
Ask
any pro BMX racer from the '80-s/'90-s about Ponypark Slagharen and they'll tell
you a story or two. The place has got some history, which kicked off with the
first IBMXF World Championships race outside of the USA in 1983 which was won by
Clint Miller (not Colony's Clint Millar!).
With the AVRO Fietscross series, European Challenge Cup races with their
legendary King Of Dirt events, and some freestyle demos by the likes of
Eddie Fiola, Dave Breed, the MBK team, Ron Wilkerson, Dennis
Langlais, Martin Aparijo, Carlo Griggs etc., it's clear that the place
smells like BMX more than it does like Pony's. Gerrit Does
found it time for a BMX Reunion which took place Oct. 2-4, at the park.
Knowing Gerrit you could expect more than just a get together at the bar
bringing up old stories. Gerrit had contacted BMX collectors to see if they
would be into displaying their bikes during the weekend. With close to 100 bikes
present you could say that this was a big success. You can read about who won
what in the FATBMX report
right here.
The
kids from 2-10 years old were treated by a BMX Clinic courtesy of BMX
Playground. Unfortunately Olympic BMX Champion Maris Strombergs
had cancelled his trip to Slagharen so the kids had to work with Zonto
instead. He did a good job and the kids were into it.
The
Paul's Boutique team riders entertained the crowd with some dirt jump demos over
the weekend. Dennis Keunen even managed to pull several flips
which he had just learned a few weeks prior to the show. With flip master
Pim van den Bos out with a broken ankle this move was very
welcome. What's a show without a flip? Just ask Bart Bazelmans
about that one. Daniel Wijsmuller did whips, truckdrivers and
360 flatties over the "killer jump" and Michael van der Lee and
Riccardo Moes kept the show going. Walter took
care of the flatland moves with some hitchhikers and cliffhangers over a far
from flat surface. On Sunday 5 years old Philip de Jong made a
little guest appearance. All in all some live BMX-ing next to the hall where the
infamous KOD's took place in the early 1990's.
One
of the highlights of the weekend was the BMX footage from the 1950-s. Amersfoort
is now the birth place of BMX. Forget about California. It was done in Holland
first. We showed pictures before, we'll show you some footage very soon. BMX
books need to be re-written. Joe Kid shredded on grandma's bike first.
Gerrit, Paul Vakkers and Martin v.d. Velden took us
through 30 years of BMX with video footage. A nice history lesson for all.
The members of the University of BMX Hall Of Fame were honoured for what they'd
done for the sport. Basically win titles for Holland in the many international
BMX racing events. Phil Hogendoorn, Anita van de Mortel, Willy Kanis,
Melanie Hogendoorn, Karien Gubbels and Louis Vrijdag were some of the
members that picked up their plaque.
Rob van den Wildenberg made it on stage and was asked some
questions about the 2008 Olympics where he made the final. Willy Kanis
and Roy van den Berg announced their retirement of BMX and will
concentrate on the Velodrome from now on.
The band DAAN finished off the night with frontman Daniel Levi,
a former BMX racer. Mid-gig he threw in a little BMX quiz for the people
present. Some of the answers were questionable but at least he showed his
involvement in BMX which was a good fit at a night like this.
It was the freestyle crew that had to finish off the night in fashion as the night was still young. No 08h00 race practice the next day. Sweet. - News & Fotos/Bart De Jong-FatBMX.com

World
Class BMX Track Launched in Madona, Latvia
 ! Recently, the 26th of September there was an AWESOME new track launched in Madona, Latvia with the competition "Madona Cup". Main class was SuperPRO and the results were:
  Arturs
Matisons was in great form all day thru his motos but had some
problems with the Pro Section in the final and fell back to 8th.
The day before the race,
the track was great and very fast, as it slopes downhill all the
way to the 1st turn. All banking turns are 180 and are the
steepest in Latvia. Imagine them asphalted!
Unfortunately, that night rain made the track a little soft and most of the fun was gone. Its normal for the new tracks, because the dirt (dolomite offal) must settle a longer time. Anyway, the track was great... everyone was exited and all agree that track looks like a smaller example of the Beijing Olympic track... and main reason is starting hill which has
slope angles similar to a
UCI BMX Supercross ramp.
The exception is the smaller height for kids to negotiate it. Wow......that acceleration! I think someone should come to Madona next year and try it. Teens 13-14 fly over unbelievable Supercross-lookalike distance. You can see it in the pics, and both doubles in the prosection are non rollable. It is, for sure, a World championship class track.
3-rd straight is very
technical but negotiable in 3 ways and the starting gate is one
of the new super reliable, Bensink gates.
The track is financed by
the Madona Province local government and built by world famous
rider, coach and BMX track builder, Ivo Lakuchs.

FREEAGENT/ROUTE55 UK RACE TEAM FINISH THE 09 SEASON ON TOP
OF THE PODIUM
  The
biggest race in the UK calendar was attended by over 700
which was a record for a UK event in many years so with
things on the up for racing in Great Britain the
Freeagent/Route55 BMX race team wanted to put on a good show
to finish off a great 1st season.
Saturday night was the National
presentation night where everyone who competed through the
season gathered to celebrate the achievements of each rider
through the year with riders being presented the trophies
and awards for all their hard work through the year.
The FA/Route55 team were all out in force with the Red and Black Attack taking up podium
places all night.
Team finishes were:
Taylor Johnson - National 6 -
8x
Lewis Locker - National 7 - 9x
Jordan Perry - National 5 -
15-16x
Dominic Skidmore - National 4 -
15-16x
Grant Hill - National 3 -
15-16x
Jack Hall - National 1 - 15-16x
Lee Alexander - National 5 -
Masters
Kelvin Batey - National 1 -
Elite Men
 With
the presentation out the way the team knew it was time to
get down to business for the race they were there for and
the riders didn't disappoint.
Both Taylor Johnson and Lewis
Locker made their mains in their respective classes to
cement themselves as top 8 riders for their age class for
the year and now have a platform to build from in 2010.
With the age classes being
split to single age classes, the notorious "Firm" were split
in half with Perry and Hall in 15x with Hill and Skidmore
representing in 16x.
Jack Hall's first straight has
been his biggest strength this year and another great start
saw him holeshot his final with the ever eager Jordan Perry
in 2 but on the outside of his team mate. As Hall pulled a
nice lead out the first turn Perry got stuck wide which
then ended in him crashing and having to roll in for 8th.
However, Hall was gone and powered his way to a British
title to add to his National title he bagged a few months
earlier.
The 16x title looked like it
was going to be a battle between both the FA/Route 55 boys
as they lined up on the gate with Hill and Skidmore both
having strong runs through the day. Grant Hill had what was
a great start and first straight with Dom Skidmore on the
outside of him in 2, very much in the same way the guys had
rode the final in the 15x final. As Hill took a good lead
out the first turn Skidmore got balled up and ended up
sliding off the track to end his shot at the title. In what
was an unreal race Hill swapped the lead a couple of times
before taking charge down the last straight and winning the
first big race of his life to pick up a British title in his
first full season of racing.
Lee Alexander had some bad luck
in Masters but came back strong to take the title in the
40-44 cruiser class to end what has been an extremely good
year for the Warhorse.
Kelvin Batey rounded off the
day in Elite Men by taking what was his 22nd and 5th Elite
British title in a row to add to his National title to round
out what he saw as a year off in his racing career.
When the presentation got under
way it was announced that Freeagent/Route55 had won the
British Team title which was an unbelievable achievement
with the ethos of the team at the start of the year being
performance progression rather than instant results. It was
a very proud moment for everyone who has been involved with
the team in 2009.
The riders and team managers
would like to thank VSI Products, THE, Sinz , Howies, ODI,
Tioga Seats, Fastlane BMX Magazine, Sharp Products, and The
Source BMX Shop for their great support this year as without
this support none of the team success would have been
possible.

Morphine
Industries signs
the “Master” Vet Pro - Tim Dinger
Morphine Industries is stoked to announce the addition of Vet Pro Tim Dinger to its Factory team. We could not been more excited to add such a great rider, person and all around good dude to our family. Tim brings with him a presence and attitude that exemplifies Morphine Industries’ philosophy of having fun while backin’ it up on the track. Tim rounds out our 10 member factory team with an exclamation point.
Dinger is no stranger to being at the on the top of the National and World stage with a treasure chest full of single digit plates. His talent speaks for itself. Come on… what guy can borrow someone’s cruiser he has never ridden at the Worlds and finish with a World #2 plate. Not to mention riding the World’s longest wheelie out of the gate to get the W#4 plate on his 20”, back up by the World #2 from 2007 & 2008. That is a testament to his love of the sport and raw skill as a rider.
We hope to give Tim a platform to continue his success in BMX, while promoting the Morphine Industries brand and its Factory Team Sponsors.
"I am really stoked to join the already stellar Morphine Industries team. They have a ton of talented riders that really like to go out there and have fun while racing hard. Morphine makes killer products and they have amazing sponsors that I am looking forward to represent this year. I would like to thank Jonathan from Morphine for the opportunity to represent Morphine Industries this year and I look forward to a great 2010 season.", states Tim D.
Look for Tim to debut the Morphine Industries’ colors with the Team at the ABA's Disney Cup the end of Oct.
Check out www.morphieindustries.com in the next few days to see Mr. Dinger’s rider page and the rest of the Factory Team. Stay tuned, this year is going to be a ride to remember.

Redman/Rockstar's, Corben Sharrah Rocks Em in Fréjus!
Fréjus, France was the site for the season ending 2009 UCI SX Supercross season. Redman/Rockstar mounted Corben Sharrah turned a lot of heads over the weekend by making it out of the motos and into the semis! This kid is from a BMX hotbed of activity-Arizona, has mad track skills, tons of style, super fast and he is only 17 years old. In the semis he was able to pull down a respectable 5th place finish just missing the cut to the mains. This is a great accomplishment in terms of his age, maturity level and determination. To cap off his trip to Fréjus, Corben was also nominated as one of the UCI Rookie of the Year candidates. With Corben's age and his steady progression on the international racing scene, we anticipate him as a solid candidate for the 2012 Olympic BMX squadron. Congratulations Corben! |

REDLINE BICYCLES WOWS 'EM IN 'VEGAS
With some companies sitting out the annual INTERbike show in Las Vegas, the SBS-distributed REDLINE brand was more than happy to get all of the Dealer attention with thei all-new FLIGHT line of bikes. And while other companies were showing last years' models due to still having '09 inventory - the 2010 Redline's featured some great frame changes and have some major upgrades on their spec.
Can you say "Carbon fiber forks?!"
One of the first comments from bikes dealers and INTERbike guests was just that. For 2010, Redline has spec'd Answer's carbon fiber Skythe forks on the Expert and above, with the Mini and Junior sporting Redline Carbon Microline forks. Only the Micro has R-6 alloy forks due to its size.
Besides the carbon forks and racy graphics, Redline has changed up the geometry of their frames ever so slightly. The top tube angle slopes down a tad more; providing a lower standover height, more roominess in the cockpit area that enables it to carve a berm better with more room to lean. It also makes the R-6 Alloy frames even lighter than past years.
In Vegas, the most frequent quote heard muttered by Dealers was "They look so fast, just standing still."
So true.
Now just imagine what they can do on a BMX track! While the first batch
of 2010 Flight bikes has arrived and quickly sold out to Dealers, the
next batch of bikes are due to arrive any day now. If you want one -
you'd better act fast.

Le Corguillé (FRA) and Willoughby (AUS) win ‘the double’ in BMX Supercross Fréjus, 10 October 2009 –Laëtitia Le Corguillé from France won the UCI BMX Supercross World Cup in Fréjus in one of this year’s most exciting Elite women finals. With this victory in the ultimate leg of this year’s BMX Supercross World Cup the determined French rider also secured the overall 2009 World Cup win for Elite women. Just as impressive was Sam Willoughby’s victory in France in the Elite men. The 2009 Junior World Champion claimed his second win in a World Cup event this year and with that the talented young Australian from Adelaide was also awarded 2009 overall winner. Willoughby was not the favourite going in to the quarter finals. He finished only 17th in the time trials on Friday and he had a rough start in the 1/8 finals on Saturday. He barely qualified for the quarter finales with one point to spare. But from that moment on the young Australian was on fire winning all following heats including the main event. Le Corguillé was only second fastest going in to the women’s finals. Mariana Pajon (COL) had the honours of picking the inside lane as best qualifier. Pajon was also leading the eight finalists until the last straight in the main event. But with the finish in sight Pajon had to give way to a determined Le Corguillé. The experienced French rider, who also won the silver medal at the Beijing Olympics, beat the Junior World Champion on the line in a crazy and extremely close final. In the men’s final Willoughby was also up against some fierce competition. With Maris Strombergs from Latvia in lane four. Strombergs is the current Olympic Champion and winner of the previous World Cup event in Chula Vista. The Latvian was keen on winning. But there was also the current Elite men World Champion Donny Robinson from the USA. Robinson looked in good shape winning all his motos in the three heats of the 1/8 finals. But Willoughby outperformed all. He charged out of the gate in the final leading from start to finish. Willoughby battled it out with Strombergs on the first straight and was leading going into the first turn. Then he managed to keep of Donny Robinson to claim double victory. Sam Willoughby (AUS) said: “I had a real rough start of the day. The pressure was on. But I managed to pull my head back in and refocus on the job at hand. I learnt a lot today! Our approach for this year was to focus on the World Cup events and the World Championships. That worked out really good.” “For the final I wanted the inside lane and used that to my advantage, Maris and I fought it out on the first straight and it was a drag race to the finish. It is a privilege to race against such formidable competition. Great to win here and to be the 2009 overall season winner.” Laëtitia Le Corguillé (FRA) said: “Right now, I’m delighted, very happy! The fact that there are more and more people gaining an interest in BMX is something I’m really pleased to see. The Roc d’Azur brings me luck. It’s the third year running that the last event has been staged here and it’s the third time that I’ve won this world cup!” This season, the French rider crashed several times and had serious injuries. “Her season has been really complicated,” said Fabrice Vettoretti, national technical director of the French BMX team. “In winning this world cup she proved that she is a great champion. There was a really big fight during this crazy final. Laetitia had to dig really deep to hunt down this victory!” Donny Robinson (USA) said: “I was not too happy with the way I was riding and Maris, Sam and Khalen were all incredibly fast. I did not have second place speed today. So l am happy with my result thanks to some good positioning and smart riding.” Ariel Martin (USA) said: “I am very happy with third place. I was injured not too long ago, actually my hand is still broken. So I did not get a lot of training done lately. Only the last few weeks I was back on the bike.” |

The Supercross ENVY Frame Makes A Return With A Kicker For Little BMXers!
For Immediate Release - Apple Valley, CA
The most popular race frame of 2009 is now available for the little guys!
Earlier this year Supercross BMX introduced it's fastest frame yet, the Supercross ENVY. Built from Supercross's custom shaped and butted EASTON® ULR Ultralite Race Taperwall tubing it is Fast, Light and Stiff. Kenth Fallen has taken his Supercross ENVY to 8 straight national wins, Kris Fox took his to a top 8 finish at the UCI Supercross Time Trials in Chula Vista and Samantha took hers to the main at the UCI Worlds. The demand for these frames far exceeded the supply and the first run of 200 frames sold out in under 2 weeks, and the back orders started rolling in.
Good news is that the next run of 400 ENVY's is finished and this time Supercross has added in the popular Mini, Jr. Expert, Expert XL and Expert XXL sizes to compliment the pro sizes, now the little guys can have their ENVY too.
The new Little ENVY's use their own special custom butted and shaped tubing that is specially designed for the younger riders to push their riding to the limits. The Smaller ENVY's feature new smaller CNC'd 3D dropouts with backside releavement, custom tapered and butted rear stays, Custom Shaped Easton® ULR tapered and butted top tubes and downtubes, CNC'd Headtubes and BB shells.
Bad news is that the entire run of 400 Supercross ENVY's is presold. So if you are looking to grab an ENVY check with your local Supercross Dealer and see if they can get one for you from their distributor Western Power Sports, or check with J&R Express as they are the sole mail order source for these hot new frames and word is that they are almost sold out already on their pre-orders. All sizes at the MSRP of only $449.95 for the Worlds Lightest and Fastest Race Frames.
For more information on the Supercross ENVY's and all of Supercross' BMX parts or to find a dealer near you, please visit supercrossbmx.com

BESNATE INTERNATIONAL BMX FAST CROSS - ITALY
Saturday 3 and Sunday 4, was held in Besnate (ITALY), the third edition of the now “traditional” competition of end-season; without Italy’s number one DE VECCHI Manuel (honeymoon in the USA), the starting gate was filled with riders from Italy, Belgium, Spain, France, Holland, Latvia and Venezuela. From the Saturday’s morning time trial, the two Latvia’s athletes, Veide and Matisons (this last one back to racing after a long time) set the pace of the group, leaving little space to the remaining riders. Arturs Matisons won Saturday’s main event, with team mate Veide second and Belgian Arnaud Dubois third, then Rossi, Gagnu, Delbert, Gutierrez and Jasper. The victory in Sunday’s competition has gone instead to the impressive junior Veide, that beat Dubois, Gutierrez, Delbert, Gagnu, the Italian Champion Cristofoli, with the very fast but unlucky Dutch Jaspers (two final and two crash in the first corner) in seventh position, after a flying contact with Matisons, finished eighth. The unstoppable Veide won also the “one against one” competition, where the 16 fastest time trials compete in a two riders moto, with the first one passing on the next level until reaching the two-riders final (similar a four cross competition but with only two riders). Finally, Italy’s Manuel “Airtime” Schiavo won the jump contest, with Gagnu second and Gutierrez in third position. Photo courtesy of POZZI Maurizio mporg@live.it - Other photos on www.bmxr.it |

Rennen/Intense opened up the 2010 NBL National Team competition
with a bang in Woodward, PA this past weekend!
Ross Wooding loved HIS new white Sinz aluminum 20" forks so much he nearly won the 19-25 expert class main event, taking a close second then dominated the 17-24 cruiser class for the perfect weekend score. New team rider Victor Behm adds some new life to the squad also, he continues to show a wide array of track skills and the power will come with a little bit of coaching for our teams older riders. Both Vic and Justin spent Saturday’s rain delay building up their new black Intense Podium cruiser frames with Sinz pro brake kits and quick release seat post clamps, and rocked them in Sunday’s racing action. Woodward’s atmosphere always adds some flavor to the “normal” race weekends, and the cabin sleeping arrangements are always interesting. It was great to have Allen Currier back in the pro class and a Rennen/Intense uniform after nearly one year lay off. Old friends John and Tracey Crossen made an appearance and made the 26-34 expert class a LOT more interesting on Saturday. What will John have in store for the 35-40 class in a couple months! Next up for the team is one of the East Coast’s most challenging weekends of team competition, ABA’s Disney Classic. Rennen/Intense will have a full sheets worth of team riders in town for the three day event in the Orlando Florida area. Once again I’d like to thank all of our sponsors for the continued support, without you none of this would be possible! London Wilmot - Bizzarro BMX Inc - Rennen/Intense TM - www.rennen-intense.com |

How
about crackin' open Issue 4 for a trip to the UCI BMX World
Championships in Adelaide, Australia?
With
a small but potent crew, the team was able to start the year off
with a pair of 
Saturday’s
race had just shy of 130 moto’s of racing action and team
rider Pat Parker led the sheet scores with his smooth track
skill and power, and his Intense Hustler tires held the wet
turns as he won the 26-34 expert class. Pat continues to wonder how
high the ceiling of his success could be when he has more access to
the Rennen G-Cog for his training regiment. Max Egdorf
was next up in the 17-18 expert class. Using his new KMC D202
gold chain to lay down the power to his Rennen 4 bolt chain
ring and a white Sinz aluminum forks to compliment his black
Podium frame, Max blew the doors off the class with another 3 bonus
point team sheet win.
