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.

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.

TOUR DE
BUILDS
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. The journey begins at the
Portland Habitate build site with a cup of hot coffee and a yummy
continental breakfast. Once you're fueled up, it's off to explore another
active Habitat for Humanity build site. The route to the next build site
will have you cycling along urban and suburban roads and quiet bike paths
that wind through Portland and Gresham. Once you arrive, enjoy nutritious
refreshments while watching first hand as volunteers construct a home for a
family in need.
 When
you're ready to continue, hop on your bike and head back to the Portland
start for a delicious hot lunch provided by Stanford's Restaurant and Bar.
Part of the finish line festivities will include a wall raising ceremony for
the new Portland home that is being constructed on site. You can register
online for a discounted rate until midnight this Thursday or you can
register on site on the day of the event. Proceeds support the Habitat for
Humanity Affiliates of the greater Portland area.

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.
