RED BULL RAMPAGE HIGHLIGHTS 2008

Red Bull Rampage returns triumphantly after four years of silence. Although a rain delay kept many anxious, the mountain bike gods unleashed the glorious sun to scorch the barren Utah terrain.

More daredevil that athlete, Thomas Vanderham, stuck a no-hander over a 59-foot canyon gap and took home best trick. However, it was 17 year old Brandon Semenuk that took home the prize of 10,000 dollars and bragging rights.

FOR FALLEN HEROES IN ACTION SPORTS, HELP IS ON THE WAY

One of the attractions of action sports is the flirtation with danger. But with those thrills come horrendous spills and broken bones. Sometimes, there are broken lives.

BMX freestyle rider Stephen Murray, 28, was one of the top riders in his sport until a crash June 22, 2007, at the AST Dew Tour stop in Baltimore left the husband and father of two children unable to use his legs or arms.

Murray's tragic crash exposed the need for significant financial assistance for professional action sports athletes whose lives have been turned upside down by a training or competition injury.

LOOKING FORWARD TO DH RACING IN 2009

The season is over for 2008 Downhill MTB in Oregon. Time to get ready with base training for 2009.  Road miles, the gym, snowboarding, etc.   I am looking forward to an even better Fluidride Cup series next year.  Maybe a Tribe503 DH/Slalom team?  Anyway time to get my training on for the ABA BMX national in Reno in January.

September 27,  Portland, Oregon      info from the ORBike Newsletter.

Enjoy a beautiful autumn ride while helping a great cause. Tour de Builds is a thirty mile urban ride that benefits Habitat for Humanity Affiliates of Portland, Gresham, Hillsboro and Vancouver.

SHE’S BACK ON TRACK

After several years away from BMX racing, Bethany Price has quickly joined the sport’s elite.

In middle school, Bethany Price and her friends would take their mountain bikes to the race track. While riding the course was fun, it wasn’t the challenge she was looking for. When she saw someone tearing up the track with a BMX bike, she knew she had to try it.

Fourteen years later, Price, 28, is ranked among the world’s best riders. In fact, the Springfield resident recently captured second place in the 2008 UCI BMX World Challenge in China — the second consecutive year she’s taken second at the world championships.
