|
|
 |
|
Baldwin Park, California – Crupi Parts, Inc is proud to announce the formation of the Factory Crupi/ProGate Team for the 2011 race season. Crupi has long been known as the leader in high end BMX racing components and Pro Gate is also known as the leader in high end gate systems as Pro Gate is the official gate system of the UCI and USA Cycling!
Together, Crupi/ProGate will show the racing world what being the best is all about! Greg Swingrover; President of Crupi Parts, Inc. is really proud of this team partnership as it combines 2 leading BMX racing companies together for a single goal; a show of excellence!
Jesse Vargas; Team Manager of Crupi/Pro Gate says the team is really stoked about this partnership and cannot wait to train on the world's best gate system. Jesse went on to say that the team trains hard all year long but with the addition of a ProGate system to train with, the team's gates will only get better and as we all know, your gate is usually the difference between a podium finish or not!
Pierce Barker; ProGate's main man is really happy with the Crupi connection as he has seen Crupi riders all over the World and feels that this connection with a high profile World Team like Crupi will truly showcase how well a team that trains on a ProGate system can win! Look for the debut of the Crupi/ProGate Team at the ABA Grands later this month in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Crupi will be showcasing a full single rider gate system at the team tent for all to see and possibly even try! Crupi will have literature and all kinds of information on how to get your own gate system to train on.
In celebration of this new team announcement and all the excitement behind it, ProGate is offering 10% discounts on all full single rider ProGate systems through the end of 2010! You can learn more about this and get a quote by emailing ProGate’s operations manager; Jay Patch at Info@ProGate.net. Look for ProGate systems at better BMX tracks around the country and all over the World and then look for the Crupi/ProGate Factory Team to dominate the podium this year.

| NZ BMX HP Coach, Ken Cools, Seriously Injured In Car Crash | |
|
While taking his daughter, Avrianna and a friend for some fun 'Dad Time', Ken and the girls were BLASTED by an out of control driver who lost control of his car while rounding a curve and hit them head on. "Ken's Own Words....." Yesterday was one of scariest and worst days of my life. I had planned on taking Avrianna and her friend to Chipmunks play center so they could hangout and have some fun. Avrianna’s friend lives out in the country and the road leading from their house/driveway goes up a hill and around a tight corner. After securing the girls into their car seats I pulled out of the driveway and started accelerating as I began going up the hill. Out of nowhere some guy came flying around the corner going way too fast in his WRX STI. Since he was going so fast he couldn’t hold the speed just in his lane so his car had swung over into my lane. I saw him at the last minute and reacted by deviating into the open side of the road, which was his lane. Unfortunately he tried to correct himself at the same time and we met head on. He was travelling over 100km so it was a nasty collision. The girls are OK with some major bruising around the neck from their seat belts. I’m OK but broke a few ribs, fracture in my wrist and my body feels like I got the crap kicked out of me by Mike Tyson. I’m bruised from head to toe and feel like crap, but am so relieved that the girls are ok. I think my biggest injury is the trauma from the whole experience. Both cars were totaled and the other guy had to be cut out of his car. I’m not sure the extent of his injuries but the paramedics said he had a shattered pelvis. Thanks to everyone for their support thru this as it’s been a tough experience, especially since Jenn is due in 2 weeks. Thank God she was not with us. "Our Own Words....." Ken Cools, is one of the 'COOLest' Cats in the biz, please keep Ken and his awesome family in your prayers and thoughts as they progress through this tough time. Ken makes it sound like he's super OK and all, but any time you bust up ribs and fracture your wrist, it's serious recovery time. PLUS, having a new baby joining the team in the process is ALWAYS a Job.....Fun and Exciting Job for sure but with the complications of a Daddy, wandering around with a crushed and beat up body, they need prayers and love from the BMX Family. |

Here We Go, Riverview!!...It’s Florida State Series Time.
The local Morphine Industries Florida based crew hit USA BMX at Riverview, FL for the beginning of the highly anticipated Florida State Series. Unfortunately, the crew was down one with 13X Noah Reeves down for the weekend with a back injury. Hey Noah, when you land after doing flips on a trampoline try your feet not your head!!
Elite Men – “Money” Mike Kapes is back baby!! As a longtime fixture and icon in Florida BMX, it was great to have Mike back on the scene and it was reinforced as many cheered as he lined up on the gate. Mike started off the weekend taking 2/1st and a 2nd in motos showing that he was back not only in person but also in performance. Main time brought a battle with Kapes getting the holeshot and leading the pack into the first turn. A slight over clearing of the table into the 1st turn gave the opening that other riders were hoping for. In addition, Mike got tangled with CJ in last turn have him settle for a 3rd at the line.
Sunday was a new day with Mike repeating the same performance in motos. The main event again proved to be a battle. Mike once again got the holeshot a followed suit from Saturday, over clearing the table and bobbling into the first turn. Mike regained his speed and finished with s solid second.
11X – Richie Dey came to Riverview to start off the state series with a statement…and a statement was made. Richie lined up on the gate Saturday on both 20” and cruiser. From the start of the day to the end, Richie took a 1st for a perfect day.
Sunday was déjà vu with Richie’s follow riders seeing nothing but the back of his helmet. Richie went wire to wire on both 20” and cruiser ending up in the top spot on the podium.
It was a great weekend of racing a great weekend for the Morphine Industries’ riders. The next stop for the Florida State series is St Pete BMX on Dec 3-5. We look forward to having Noah Reeves back and look forward to a lot of the same – top spots on the podium.
Morphine Industries would like to thank its Factory Team Sponsors; HARO BIKES (harobikes.com), Fly Racing (www.flyracingbmx.com), Alienation (www.alienationbmx.com), Sinz Racing (www.sinz-racing.com), Rennen (www.rennendesigngroup.com), Tioga (www.tiogausa.com/bmx), Black Crown (BlackCrownBmx.com) Without you guys we would be sitting in the dirt. Instead, we are rockin’ the best looking rigs at the gate and on the podium. |
| JAVIER RECLASSIFIES TO VET PRO |
 |
|
SE Racing News Release
After many years of competing at the AA Pro/Elite level, Javier Colombo has decided to move into the Vet Pro class for the 2011 race season at 32 years of age. Our Argentinean distributor (www.lirasport.com.ar) says it best in their ad. English translation below:
"Javier
Colombo has said goodbye to the AA/Elite class.
His last race as AA/Elite in
the USA was the NBL Grands in Louisville,
Kentucky in the beginning of September. Javi was the
first Argentinean to accomplish a few things on the
Elite class. In 2000 at the UCI world Championship
held in Cordoba, Argentina, he was the first
Argentinean ever to make
a main event in
the Elite class and placed 5th.
Six years later he made
history again when he won the UCI world Championship
title in Sao Paulo, Brazil becoming not only the
first Argentinean,
but the ONLY
south American to win the World
Championship 20" Elite
title."
For all you
have accomplished Javier, we want to say THANK
YOU and we
wish you the best in
the Vet Pro class!

Grand Canyon’s, Dominique Daniels Really Loves Disney |
|
|
|
Another year at the ABA Disney Cup another Dominating Performance by 3-D. In her 4 years of racing the ABA final warm up for the Grand’s, Dominique Daniels, ABA’s current and 2 Time Women’s Pro Champion hasn’t lost a race and looked to continue her streak for 2010. Friday and Saturday went as usual with 3-D winning both days and it looked like her streak would continue after she won Sunday’s final but that all came to an end when race officials put on the brakes with a call that saw 3-D moved from first to last for actions that they ruled illegal on the last straight. It is a rule that you normally don’t see called but when asked Dom said, “I was surprised and upset by the call because I didn’t try to block anyone I was just racing as I always do, but I guess if my streak has to come to an end I’m okay with it. It just means that I will have to work harder so it never happens again. I always tell riders to give their all, do their best and leave no doubt as to who you are as a competitor and that’s what I did. So congrats to the winner and I will be ready for the ABA Grand’s” Dominique races for Grand Canyon University where she is a 17 year old freshman studying Business. She races on the SPEED frame and wears THE Gear with Stealth Hubs, S&M Bars, LDC Brakes, Custom Plates by Johnson BMX, and that's all maintained by The Bike Doctor at Chandler BMX in Chandler, Arizona. |

ONE MORE TO GO:
TEAM REDLINE HEADS IN TO GRANDS WITH FOUR NO.1 CUPS WITHIN REACH
After a
long 11 months of racing all around the country, there
is only one more
weekend left to go; kickin'
it off with the Race
of Champions on Friday, followed by the "Greatest Race
on Earth" - the ABA Grands. Held
at the QuikTrip Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma over
Thanksgiving weekend,
this 4 day BMX festival has never failed to bring out
the best in every BMX racer who attends. Not only
is this the
final ABA BMX
National of the season;
where all eleven
of the No.1 silver Cups are handed out, but finishes
count for double points - so, if you win the
main event here
in your age class, it also
drastically boosts
your point standings toward a National
Age Group plate.
This year, TEAM REDLINE
is leading three of the eight rider categories - WOMENS
ELITE, AA-PRO/ELITE and CRUISER. At the top of the
points charts (practically throughout this entire year)
are Minnesota's ALISE POST,
Aussie sensation SAM WILLOUGHBY
and Arizona's GEORGE GOODALL.
Not since 2006 has Redline's hot factory squad gone in
to Tulsa in three of the eight hot-seats.
But that's not all - Team Redline also has a fourth long shot chance at the Girls Cruiser titles, thanks to reigning Champion CARLY DYAR. ELITE WOMEN: Two girls; each with 2 consecutive years of ABA No.1 titles and seven titles between them both. Alise Post followed up her 2001 and 2004 No.1 Girl titles with back-to-back No.1 Womens Pro titles in '06 and '07. Similarly, Dominique followed up her 2007 No.1 Girl title with back-to-back No.1 Womens Pro titles the past two years. And after Daniels raced Jr.Womens
"For
me and Dom, it will probably go down to the final main,"
predicts Alise, who is one of USA's top candidates for
the 2012 Olympic Games. "For the
Grands, ABA will be going with three mains, so that will
add excitement since we haven't done 3-mains all year
long. Once we get to Tulsa and see what they've created
with all that dirt, we'll see who the track favors. If
there's a pro section, look out for myself and Brooke
Crain. We'll also have some good International
competition - such as Caroline Buchanan from Australia;
who can also mix things up for the title chase. I'm
excited," summed up Alise.
"It's going to FUN."
ELITE MEN / AA-PRO: With a mere 53 points separating the Aussie points leader from the No.2 seeded Latvian Olympic Gold medalist, the battle for ABA's No.1 Pro plate this year is bound to be insane. Sam has been super consistent this year with 23 mains and 15 podiums this year, compared to Maris' 15 mains and 9 podium finishes - although when it comes to overall wins, "The Machine" from Latvia has tallied up 7 of them to Sam's 4. After these two battled head to head in the UCi Supercross series, BMX history is bound to be made in Tulsa - either way it turns out.
"It's all excitement!," says
Sam, who took time out from building up his new
2011 Redline Flight bike for Tulsa, to talk about the
long awaited showdown. "It's always
been a childhood dream of mine to be up for the ABA pro
title. I'm going in to Tulsa as prepared as I can
be. All I have to do is do what I can do, and not worry
about what you can't control. That's pretty much my game
plan. We'll find out on Sunday if it all comes out in my
favor."
As a final word or warning to his competition, Sam added, "I did good at the Disney Cup and I felt like I was at 90% there. For Tulsa, I will be at my full 110%." 41-45 CRUISER: Check the points. Do you see the common denominator? That's right; it's 41-45 cruiser. With four of the Top-5 in Cruiser points all racing in the same class - and all four of these guys about 99% guaranteed to make the final, this will be one main event on Sunday night that you won't want to blink for at least 35 seconds. "It'll be crazy," summed up Gorgeous George. "Half of our 8-man gate in the main can literally be up for the No.1 Cruiser championship. And you know that with so much on the line, there's going to be some elbows thrown and it'll be a race to the finish. With so much on the line in the 41-45 year old cruiser class, we'll see who chokes under the pressure and who can handle it."
George is
the reigning No.1 Cruiser champ from last year; and
hopes to retain his No.1 plate. "It's
been great running the No.1 this year, and hopefully I
can hold on to it for another year," Goodall
summed up.
Here is how the BMX-version of the "Chase for the Cup" looks - headin' in to Tulsa:
GIRLS CRUISER: Last years
Girls Cruiser champion - CARLY DYAR, of Chandler, Arizona -
is currently sitting in the No.5 spot, only 28 points behind
points leader Madison Martinez and No.2 seeded Kelsey
vanOgle. In this division, the Chase for the Cup really
comes down to how many riders show up for each age
class; counting for an extra 2 pts per competitor. So far
this year, the younger 11-13 year old Girls Cruiser class
has outnumbered Carly's 14-16 class all year long, putting
her at a points disadvantage for holding on to her
Championship.
"I really
wish I had a better shot at the Girls Cruiser title and was
closer in points," stated Carly. "It's
been great running the No.1 plate this year, and all I can
do is give it my best and try to win the Grands main.
Rider points is completely out of my control. My focus will
be going after the N.A.G. No.1 plate. If a National No.1
happens again, then that'd even sweeter."
Without a doubt, the 2010
BMX season finale is bound to be a great show - with the
eleven National No.1 Championships on the line, and multiple
Age Group No.1 plates to be decided. And TEAM REDLINE will
be out in full force to win what they can - adding to the
already long list of past No.1 Champions that adorn the Door
of Champions on the Redline trailer. Throughout the weekend,
Redline will be handing out Redline bandanas and catalogs,
and will hold autograph sessions throughout the day - so be
sure to drop on by the Redline pits in between catching all
of the great BMX racing action.

Marc Willers Signs on as the Newest Speed Racer CERRITOS, CA—Speed Bicycles is pleased to announce that it signed New Zealand’s Marc Willers today for the 2011 race season. “Marc caught my eye a couple of years ago and he has been really fast since the summer. I really liked what I saw at Chula Vista and decided there that he was the guy to lead Speed. We’re really happy to have him on the team and we look forward to a long relationship,” said Toby Henderson, founding partner at VSI, Speed Bicycles’ parent company. Willers, the silver medalist at the UCI Super Cross Finals, in October in Frejus, France, and a consistent ABA podium finisher, will ride a Speed bicycle equipped with SINZ Elite, SINZ, ITS and THE gear as well as THE helmets and Fly clothing next year. “After having such a bad year last year, I’m pleased to join with Speed and the guys and I’m looking forward to working with them as I try to take the number-one spot in BMX,” Willers said. Willers is a skilled dirt jumper and thrill seeker. He once rode his BMX bike at 100 kilometers per hour downhill and he owns a 1977 Toyota Corolla stuffed with a 500 hp engine. Willers, who is 25 years old, won his first national title at age of 10 and has only lost it three times since. He left high school in 2001 at the age of 16 to paint cars. After making his first Elite Men’s World Final in 2005 he put down the spray gun to race full time. He moved to Southern California, last year, to chase his goal of becoming the world’s best BMX racer. A shoulder injury in March 2009, however, kept him for competing at the top of his game for most of the season. He had surgery in October and returned to racing in May at the UCI Super Cross World Cup in Copenhagen where he placed 4th. Since then, he has been on the podium at seven out of the 10 ABA nationals he raced and took second in Frejus. He got his first win at the Redline Cup Western Finals in Boulder City, Nevada, last month. Among Willer’s other racing palmares are 6th at 2005 BMX World Championships; 2nd at 2006 UCI Oceanic Continental series; 1st at UCI Supercross Frejus, France, and 1st at UCI Oceanic Continental series in 2007; 2nd at UCI Supercross Madrid, Spain, 2nd at UCI Oceanic Continental Series, 5th in UCI World Ranking and Olympic Semi-Finalist in 2008. |

American Bicycle Association Releases 2011 National Series Schedule |
|
|
| Official From ABA Staff |
| With just under
two weeks remaining before the culmination of the 2010 ABA
National Series in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at the ABA Grand
National, the 2011 schedule is complete. With a balance of
central, east, and west, the ABA 2011 National Series is
sure to reach out to the more than 60,000 ABA members and
allow everyone young and old to experience the Series. While
the Canadian Series is still being pinned down, look for
some exciting things regarding the Canadian National Series
soon.
Once again for 2011 the American Bicycle Association has partnered with USA Cycling and the International Cycling Union (UCI) to provide a schedule that will feature the USA Cycling National Championships and numerous UCI category 2, 3, 4, and 5 races. Each of the UCI races will figure into the points standings for individual and nation’s rankings qualification for the 2012 Olympic Games. The So Cal Nationals and USA Cycling National Championships are set for the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California. This race will have a national on Friday and Sunday with the USA Cycling National Championships on Saturday, featuring Jr. Elite and Elite racing on the Supercross track. With the 2011 World Championships being held in Copenhagen, Denmark, this World qualifying race is sure to have a great turnout. The 2011 series has many familiar stops such as Reno and Rockford, but there are also many new and exciting locations such as Nashville and Cape Cod. One of the most notable changes will be the Winter Nationals, which will be held for the first time at Speedworld BMX which features a standard BMX track along with a Supercross track. ABA will integrate the UCI events for the weekend into the Supercross track which features the second Supercross starting hill ever constructed in North America. Equally as exciting is the return of an ABA national event to Las Vegas. The ABA national tour will once again visit South Point Hotel and Casino, the home of the second largest regular ABA National event ever with 378 motos in 2007. The last quarter of the 2011 schedule will be action packed with events like the U.S. Open Nationals hosted in conjunction with the BMX Hall of Fame and the UCI Supercross event. The last two stops will be insane with the three day national event in Orlando for the Disney Cup Fall Nationals and the first ABA national event to ever be hosted in the Caribbean for the Isla del Encanto (The Enchanted Island) Nationals in Puerto Rico. Rincon Star BMX Track will host the final national event of the series and it will no doubt be a celebration of an amazing year. From Reno to Oldsmar, from Cape Cod to Redmond, OR the 2011 ABA National Series will reach new heights in competition, participation and of course fabulous BMX facilities and racetracks. Follow the ABA 18-Wheeler from town to town on the road to Tulsa for the ABA Grand Nationals, “The Greatest Race on Earth!”. |

She had an amazing weekend, with podium finishes every day earning her the coveted Disney Cup. 8 Expert Casey Minthorn may not have made the big show any of the three days, but he sure looked good out on the track. He was flying high over all of the big jumps that even some of the older riders were not clearing. Our newest teammate, 11 Expert Tanner Engel, raced well on Friday and took a 6th in the main.

FLA Baby…Morphine Industries takes it to Orlando for the ABA Disney Cup Pics courtesy of Jerry Landrum / BMXMania.com
ABA rolling back into Orlando to flex their dirt muscles in the state of Florida - who are we but to turn out to ride, race and enjoy the show. The gathered a few of the crew and converged on Orlando to see what we could dish out.
The powers that be did a fine job at putting the last minute touches on the famed Orlando track to make it a great template for the weekend.
Elite Men – Mike Kapes showed up for his only ABA race on his comeback tour to run Friday and Sunday. Kapes showed again that he is on his way to back to the top of the field making his way around the track consistently in the top 4 on both days. However there is no room for error in semis causing Mike to bow out on the Mains.
Elite Men – Gavin Lubbe made the trip from SoCal to mix it up on the dirt turns of Orlando. Gavin hit Elite men both Friday and Saturday to give a solid showing but narrowing missing the main both days. Sunday brought a new day with Gavin giving a riding clinic in A PRO class. Gavin rode from the front wire to wire to take the main,
17-18X - Tanner Sebesta Morphine Industries’ newest addition showed that he is legit with a solid showing in both Junior Men and 17-18 X. Tanner started off Friday killing it in motos battling for the top spot with the Razzleberry in Junior Men and dominating in class. Main time in both races found Tanner’s style to much for the dirt turns to handle sending him to the ground.
Saturday was a different day with Tanner on point. Laying it down in motos to gain a spot at the gate in both mains, Tanner took a 2nd spot on the podium for Junior Men and Class. Sunday was again a display of horses out of the gate securing his familiar spot in the main. He ended up in the dirt on turn one again battling for the lead in Junior Men settling for an 8. However in 17-18X, he went wire to wire to end the weekend with the dominate top spot of the podium. Yo Bro you traded up for sure.
13X - Noah Reeves took command of his motos on Friday and Saturday easily making it into the main events. Noah battled for the top spot on the podium but settled for a third spot on Friday. Saturday, Noah hit the gate and came unclipped going into the table at the bottom of the hill. He made the most of his track time cruising the doubles with turn bars and style that he is known for. If Sunday is a day of rest for the Man upstairs then who is Noah to second guess – he chilled.
11X – Richie Dey came in for Sunday to turn some heads before the weekend was over. Richie hit the 11x class with what else AIR. Rolling to the main event and ending with a solid three for a place on the podium.
Great weekend and a great way to round up the season as we prepare for the Grands next month is Tulsa. Be sure to come check us out if not you can be sure we will be in the mains.
Morphine Industries would like to thank its Factory Team Sponsors; HARO BIKES (harobikes.com), Fly Racing (www.flyracingbmx.com), Alienation (www.alienationbmx.com), Sinz Racing (www.sinz-racing.com), Rennen (www.rennendesigngroup.com), Tioga (www.tiogausa.com/bmx), Black Crown (BlackCrownBmx.com) Without you guys we would be sitting in the dirt. Instead, we are rockin’ the best looking rigs at the gate and on the podium. |

BMX LATIN AMERICAN
CHAMPIONSHIPS 2010 IN CHILE
MARINO DOMINATED IN ELITE MEN -The best riders from all over Latin America battled it out in the Elite Men's class, fighting it out for all important Olympic points for world ranking. Ramiro Marino has a special history with this event, he participated in this race three times since he turned pro with two Gold's and one Silver, winning his title for the first time in 2007 in Colombia. With this result Marino sends a strong message, showing that
he is one of the best on the continent, in San Bernardo he came
on STRONG by winning both events, on Friday and Saturday for
important UCI ranking points. Marino had to fight with really
good riders, Andres Jimenez from Colombia and Emilio Falla from
Ecuador. Jimenez is doing it really good right now and besides
Ramiro may be the fastest in South America. Falla showed that
all his injuries are gone and he put some solid laps together
with a 2nd on day 1 and 3rd on day 2. Second place went to Stefany Hernandez who has been racing on the super tough Lady BMX Battles in Europe and turned some heads, BIG TIME as she is progressing and looks so much better on her bike, which has got to be good for the continent to have an Elite Women's racer racing at such a high level. Bronze went to another Colombian girl, Stefany Gomez, picking up even MORE points for Colombia in the UCI BMX World Rankings.
