ABA Silver Dollar Nationals Reno, NV

The ABA season kicked off this past weekend with the traditional event in Reno, NV. With a new format for the ABA for the first time, the Pro Series tour is limited to 13 weekends, so each event will count that much more for the Pros to score points towards the overall title. Kyle Bennett wants the ABA #1 title to add to his list of #1 NBL Pro and UCI World Champion. This could be the year for Kyle, but 28 other pros wanted to say otherwise in Reno. Here is how Kyle and Dale Holmes, the only 2 Double A Marketing riders in attendance, finished up:

Kyle Bennett just doesn't slow down, no matter what time of the year it is. Once again, Kyle won AA again during the race weekend, as well as Pro Open. On Saturday, Kyle was the only one to give the AA winner Bubba Harris a run for the win and Kyle just missed out finishing 2nd. Kyle came back later that day to take the win at the first Pro Open event of 2006. On Sunday, it was all Kyle, as he won from start to finish, all 3 main events. Kyle has started off this season with win in AA/Elite at both the ABA and NBL opener, letting all the AA's know this is going to be the year of Kyle Bennett. Kyle's sponsors include Free Agent, KHS, Kenda, Sun Ringle, UGP, Thomson, Utopia Eyewear, THE Products, S & M bars, ATI, Shimano, Powerbar, Cyto Sport, and BMXpros.com.

Dale Holmes made his return to the USA racing scene, as he had been concentration on the European tour for the last part of 2005. Dale came out looking strong and not showing any signs of slowing down. On Saturday, Dale was in the Pro Open main event and finished up 5th. On Sunday, it seemed that Dale was fully back into the swing of things and was in both the AA and Pro Open main event, where he finished 4th in AA and 8th in Open. Dale's sponsors include Free Agent, KHS, Utopia Eyewear, Kenda, Sun Ringle, Thomson, Troy Lee Designs, S & M bars, THE Products, Shimano, Powerbar, Cyto Sport, and BMXpros.com.

Brandon Meadows made the trip up to Reno to thank his friends and fans for helping contribute to his injury fund. Brandon, who broke his femur just a week and a half ago, was looking good, was very positive, and cant wait to get back on his bike and onto the AA podium. We wanted to say thanks to all who contributed to Brandon, and a special thanks to his sponsors for 2006 for their support - Tangent, MacNeil, Kenda, Utopia Eyewear, Sun Ringle, Cyto Sport, Shimano, and Fly Race Wear. There will be more to come as Brandon gets ready to get back on track.
