NBL Golden State Nationals Prunedale, CA

Round 5 of 8 race Pro Series for the 2005 NBL Elite men's championship was held this past weekend at Manzanita park, in Prunedale, California. One of the favorite stops for the Pros, the Prunedale track offers it all, a power riders first strait away, a downhill 2nd and 3rd strait away with some big jumps, and a last strait away that has a perfect mix of both power and skills needed for the tough and big rhythm section. With great weather, a great track, and a fun weekend of BMX racing, the NBL Golden State Nationals was a welcome pleasure by all the riders who attended and once again let the Double A Marketing riders use their power and skills to dominate the Elite Men's class. Here is how the Double A Pros who went finished up:

Randy Stumpfhauser again was just plain amazing. Randy currently sits near the top of the Men's Elite standing and leads the Elite Cruiser standings, and he came to Prunedale to hopefully add some more points for the title chase. Randy came out strong on Saturday and made both the Elite men's main and the Elite Cruiser main, placing 3rd in each finial. On Sunday, Stumpy was ready to do better, and he did just that as he took wins in both classes at the days end, With this huge win, Randy now sits in the top spot in both Elite Men's title point classes and looks to win back the NBL #1 Elite Pro Title.

Cristian Becerine has been very consistent in the past month, as well as all season, with a lot great 2nd place finishes. Well, you can chalk up another one for him, this time in the Elite Men's main event on Sunday, With this 2nd place finish, Cristian moves into the 2nd place spot overall and looks to give Randy a run for the NBL #1 Pro title.
