The first stop on the 2010 UCI BMX North America Continental Series proved a fine accomplishment for Free Agent, as Connor Fields and Cristian Becerine dispensed with the Junior and Elite Mens main events, respectively. Friday podium topper Dominique Daniels piloted her Avent to the win in Elite Women. Andres Holguin raced well on Friday, but did not make the main…but turned the tables on Saturday to win the main, followed by Purse, Fallen and Murray. More words on the Disney Cup next week, but check out the Saturday Image Gallery…and check back Sunday for the third gallery for the...
Within sight of Florida’s “Space Coast,” ABA’s 2009 Disney Cup Fall Nationals blasted off with 156 motos, including 27 AA Pros. Kyle Bennett took the lemons dealt to him by a couple of over-zealous baggage handlers (who ran over his bike with their tug on the way into town, bending the headtube), and made some mighty fine lemonade with a tasty AA win. So, too, did Dominique Daniels, minus the baggage handlers and bent up scoot. BMXNOW sister site, BMXNEWS.COM will be reporting throughout the weekend and, as always, you can count on more action photos coming your way from...

With 140 Elite men and 33 Women starting out, time trials proved to be a wild ride, with Quentin Caleyron of France getting the top time of 32.133 for the men, and Mariana Pajon of Columbia taking top time for the ladies at 35.734. Through qualifying on Saturday, Pajon was one of three ladies with only three points (Lauren Reynolds of Australia and Leticia le Corguillé was the other). Pajon and leCorguille won their respective semis as well, and it was definitely going to...
“Twenty-four little hours…” so goes the song. A collective sigh that comes with the world being, once again, the way we all like it to be—at least as far as racing weather. Sunday’s installment of the NBL Illini Nationals was a bright, sunny experience which totaled 74 motos. The race was gated up, three rounds run, mains made and raced, all by Noon. Perfect day for driving home! Don’t forget to check out Saturday’s writeup on BMXNEWS.COM. The Sunday writeup wll be posted once we get the results. Check Out the Photo Gallery from Sunday....
With BMX roots spanning more than three decades, Riverside BMX in Springfield, IL has seen a lot of talent through it’s starting gate. Today, as stop number two on the 2010 NBL National Tour, riders braved a cold, dreary, cold, grey, misty…and did we say “Cold!,” day to get it on with the some of the best the Midwest had to offer. Run as the prelude to the 2009 Midwest Regional Championships, the Illini’s 82 motos provided the heat, and gave many the first chance to test drive their 2009 NBL National numbers. Main event standout shout outs go to...
