Bluegrass Bicycle/GHP BMX is proud to bring you a new focus on the riders called "RIDER SPOTLIGHT"! Throughout the 2011 season we will put the spotlight on a rider who has turned in a great performance, won a hard main, or stepped his or her racing up another notch and is deserving of the spotlight!
2011 MIDWEST REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP
"Rider Spotlight"
goes to ..... James Sims & Joshua Kincaid !!!!
Grand Rapids,MI was the site of the 2011 Regional Championship and the BB/GHP BMX team (unofficially) pulled out a 1st in Team Standings for the year! We also had one of the most successful team sheets this year with a 4-rider Perfect! So manyu riders put in great performances it was difficult to pick one or even two top riders but James & Joshua really nailed their races.
James just flat annihilated his comp all day by at least a full straight each moto ending up with a Perfect day. Joshua Kincaid has been working hard all year on his game and it paid off with two moto 1st finishes and a 2nd but it was his heart and drive that earned him the spotlight!
The Saturday Perfect team sheet consisted of James Sims, Wesley Butler, Tate Ammon & Grayson AQmmon - all firsts! But, the great riding didn't end with the team sheet, Max Robbins rode great even wrecking hard Sunday then pooping up to chase the whole moto down for a 1st in the mai.
Stevie Alexander painted the inside of the port-a-let then went back out to pull down a main 2nd on Saturday. Jon Pelkey blasted every moto for a Perfect Saturday & a 1st mian Sunday. Lee Baker who seemingly has the same tough riders even every moto in every city still turned in good rides as well. All in all, BB/GHP BMX showed what we're made of in Michigan!
Congratulations to BOTH James & Joshua and all the riders who made the long trip to Grand Rapids!
Always remember!

2011 WARSAW MIDWEST NATIONAL
"Rider Spotlight"
goes to ..... Tate Ammon & Stevie Alexander !!!!
Congratulations to BOTH Tate Ammon & Stevie Alexander!
The Warsaw race saw every BB/GHPBMX rider in attendance turn in stellar performances - each in their own way.
Tate brought the house down all weekend with Perfects on both Saturday & Sunday! 4 & Under Rookie rider Tate showed the world the Ammon Family is ready to make their mark on USABMX!
17-18 Challenger rider Stevie Alexander made Warsaw his first big race since the 2010 Grands, which itself was one of few he ran over the last 2 years during some challenging times off the track. But Stevie proved he was back in force with plenty of 2nd's and 4/5 Main finishes against very tough riders while riding better than ever! The future looks bright for Stevie!
Congrats to both Tate & Stevie!

"Rider Spotlight"
goes to ..... Wesley Butler !!!!
Congratulations to Wesley Butler! After waiting through probably one of the longest rain delays in history as well as throwing down plenty of fried chicken, Wesley turned in a fine 20" Perfect on Saturday evening and backed it up with nice straight 3rd's across the board's performance on his cruiser! Sunday was a no-go so Wesley picked up the rain-out doubler for his efforts!
Great job Wesley!

Bluegrass Bicycle/GHP BMX invades Nashville ABA
The riders of BB/GHPBMX made the trip to Nashville's Music City Bmx last weekend for Music City Nationals ABA race. Jason Fox, Byran Mason, Devan Jackson, Emrick & Carley Swan all hit dirt. The pre-race turned up some fine numbers by Devan with a 1st, Jason with a 3rd & Byran with a 4th. Day #1 saw Devan posting another 1st place Main finish & Carley making 3rd by beating out 4 boys in the 8 Novice Class. Day #2 dawned with only Byran Mason holding down the fort and was unable to transfer but got some great ABA racing experience at a familiar former NBL track.
It looks like BB/GHPBMX is ready for USA BMX!

BMX Racing Have Just Gotten HUGE!
NBL and ABA, the two BMX racing sanctions, have announced they are merging operations. The new association will be USA BMX. You will now be able to race at any NBL or ABA track! NBL and ABA will continue as "leagues" under the new USA BMX organization. Think of it as football, AFC and NFC. New USA BMX membership cards with both the ABA and NBL logos will be mailed to you.
Local Racing ....
Details are being finalized, but the main change is the membership plans. Effective June 1, 2011, we will revert back to a 'pay as you go' racing format. The NBL 'all-inclusive' membership will be discontinued. Any monthly payments will be discontinued. The money paid into your membership plan will be calculated (either up front or per month). Any races this season will be 'debited' at a rate of $5.95 per local race, $50 per regional, and $60 per national race you have ridden thus far. Any balance remaining will be credited toward future entry fees. If you have raced more than you have paid into your membership plan, any debit will be erased (you've gotten a heck of a deal!).
Regional and National Racing ....
ABA and NBL Regional and National Schedules will continue independently for the remaining 2011 season, and will end with each league's Grands. NBL Grands will proceed as scheduled in Louisville over Labor Day weekend. However, Christmas Classic will now be a 'ABA' vs 'NBL' league shootout, where the champions of the NBL Grands and ABA Grands will race for the championship. Christmas Classic will now be our Superbowl!!
President's Cup will continue in its format (with ABA riders brought in for 2012). That is probably going to be the biggest race of all time!!
Details are still being finalized and not all the information is available just yet at this time.
