Double A Marketing
BMX Race Report
NBL Music City Nationals & ABA Mile High National
With the NBL 2004 Pro Series events down to only one regular national
before the Grands, Nashville would be the last opportunity for any
riders to gain some points to move up the Pro Title points chase for
2004. With the closest points chase in years, Nashville laid down some
of the excitement that we will get to see next month at the NBL Grand
Nationals in Louisville, KY. Here is how the Double A Marketing riders
finished up for the weekend.
Cristian Becerine was riding the Nashville track super fast this weekend
but felt just a bit off on Saturday and in AA Pro that's the difference
from being in the main or not. On Sunday, Cristian was over being flat
and just flat out hauled as he went on to win the Pro Open class as
well as place 4th in AA Pro. Cristian's sponsors include Crupi, O'Neal,
Answer, UGP, ODI, Sun Ringle, Marwi, Shimano, Tool Shed, Powerbar,
BMXpros.com, Cyto Sport, and Thomson Seat Posts.
Kyle Bennett has always been a force to deal with and this past weekend
was just another example of that. On Saturday, Kyle looked smooth and
fast but was only able to finish up 5th in AA Pro. On Sunday, Kyle
was again held up in the first turn in the AA Pro main and was held
back to 8th for the day. Don't h let this weekend fool you, Kyle will
be one of the top guys at the NBL Grands coming up in just a few weeks.
Kyle's sponsors include Free Agent, KHS, Answer, Sun Ringle, UGP, Truvativ,
Velo, Vans, Maxxis, ATI, Shimano, Profile, Powerbar, Smith, Cyto Sport,
and BMXpros.com.
Randy Stumpfhauser was looking to improve his scores in AA Pro and
on Saturday he did just that with a 3rd in the main event. Randy also
raced Open this weekend as there was no Cruiser Class and finished
up 6th on Saturday. Sunday was a different story for Stumpy as he only
races AA but failed to make it out of the Semi. Randy still has a chance
to hold onto his 2003 NBL #1 Pro plate. Randy's sponsors include GT
Bicycles, Hyundai, ODI, IRC Tires, Shimano, Fox Racing, Smith, Sun
Ringle, Bombshell Forks, AC, Thomson, Powerbar, CTI Knee Braces, Tool
Shed, Marwi, FSA Headsets, S & M, Cyto Sport, and BMXpros.com
Brandon Meadows has been traveling all over the world the past few
months and has been going faster and faster at each event. Brandon
used all the time on his bike to make the AA Pro main on Sunday in
Nashville, placing 6th overall. Brandon's sponsors include Specialized,
O'Neal, Oakley, Adidas, Tangent, Cyto Sport, Shimano, Sun Ringle, Powerbar,
and BMXpros.com.
ABA Mile High Nationals Dacono, CO
Mean while back in Dacono, Colorado, Dale Holmes took to the ABA
Mile High Nationals. Dale has split his time in between ABA, NBL,
and The
UCI Mountain Bike World Cup series this season and has done some damage
in each event he has entered. Choosing to go to the ABA National paid
off for Dale as he proceeded to take home 2 wins in Pro Open and 2
2nd place finishes in AA Pro. Dale's sponsors include Free Agent, KHS,
Troy Lee Designs, Kenda, Smith Eyewear, Sun Ringle, Profile, Powerbar,
BMXpros.com, DALEHOLMES.COM, Cyto Sport, and Shimano.
