UCI BMX Ranking
The ever more important UCI BMX Ranking is in full swing on all four continents. While it’s coming to an end on the southern hemisphere, it’s just getting hectic in Europe and North America. A new feature for this year is the Junior Men and Junior Women ranking, and although the Junior riders does not compete for the overall ranking prize money of 30’000 Swiss Franc, their presence will be highly important leading up the 2008 Olympic Games.

Continental Ranking – Latin America
After 10 ranking rounds, the Latin American ranking has come to an end. Jonathan Suarez (Venezuela) has made a triumphant return to his continent scoring the maximum 84 points (winning 8 out of 10 races). In the Elite Women ranking, the current World Champion Gabriella Diaz (Argentina) has been almost equally as successful scoring 72 points.

Continental Ranking – Oceania
With 2 rounds remaining, Luke Madill (Australia) is leading the scoreboard with 69 points, with Michael Robinson (Australia) in runner-up position with 61 points. Tanya Bailey (Australia) is leading with 41 points, followed closely by Serena Kastermans (New Zealand).

Continental Ranking – North America
After 5 of the 10 rounds completed, the North American ranking is lead by Mike Day (USA) on 42 points; closely followed by Robert De Wilde (Netherlands).It will be a tight race through the Canadian UCI rounds leading up the NBL Stars’n Stripes National at South Park, PA. In the female division, the 2004 Junior World Champion, Kimberly Hayashi (USA) is leading, but her arch rival Samantha Cools (Canada) is not far behind and will gain momentum once the series hits Canada.

Continental Ranking – Europe
4 rounds into the European BMX Championships, Thomas Allier (France) has shown great consistency and is leading with 40 points, closely followed by Ivo Lakucs (Latvia) and last year No. 1 UCI ranked rider Michal Prokop (Czech Republic). With Allier temporally out with injuries, the European points chase will be a thriller all the way up to the European BMX Championships final in Echichens, Switzerland. Jana Horakova (Czech Republic), 45 points, is leading a close race with Willy Kanis (Netherlands) and Laetitia Le Corguille (France).

Roseville has been the home to some of the sports fastest riders as well as some of the best Pro racing battles at ABA Nationals. This year, the fans and riders alike came out to see what the ABA and the Pros had in store and when the race finished up on Sunday afternoon, no one left without some great memories of the Spring Nationals. Randy Stumpfhauser and Brandon Meadows were both there, giving it their all, and here is how they finished out the weekends event:

On Saturday, Brandon finished up 4th in AA Pro, continuing his impressive streak of great AA results. On Sunday, Brandon was a bit sore from a crash in Pro Cruiser on Saturday, but it didn't show, as he finished up 5th in AA and 2nd in Pro Cruiser.

COOLS, ABA #1 WOMENS PRO

12/03/04

THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL. SAMANTHA COOLS DOMINATED THE WOMENS PRO CLASS THIS PAST THANKSGIVING WEEKEND TO TAKE THE NUMBER ONE WOMENS PLATE HOME.

BUBBA AND CARNES TAKE ABA TITLES.

12/03/04

TEAM REDLINE: "WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS" - The ABA BMX season came to a climatic ending on Sunday, November 28th -- with the final tally for Team Redline being TWO ABA National No.1 Pro titles and one concussion. While Redline had hoped to be the first team in BMX history to pull off a Pro Trifecta; it wasn't in the cards this time 'round.
Redline will, though, go down in the BMX history books as the second team to ever win two ABA Pro No.1's in a single year. (The first being Mongoose, with MacPherson & Rupe in 1996).

Anybody who didn't leave Tulsa in sheer awe and shock at Bubba Harris' incredible power and skills, must not have been watching any of the AA motos, semi's or mains. Race after race, Bubba never ceased to amaze everyone in the stands. Whether he was layin' down X-ups, tables or bar-humps in the pro section, or just passing people at will, there is no doubt that he was In The Zone.

Saying that BUBBA HARRIS has been crowned the No.1 Pro in BMX doesn't begin to tell the whole story. The truly amazing thing is how he did it!

The Redline superstar's weekend was constantly filled with excitement that had the crowd on their feet and cheering him on. No one was working the pro section like he was. Mutually, he was feeding off of the crowd response, the very hungry crowd was feeding off of him having fun. In Sunday's semi-main, the Bub'ster incredibly went from 7th place to 2nd in order to make the big show. ABA announcer Jim Reilly summed it up; "I have now seen it all. I quit! BMX will never get better than that race."

But Jim was wrong -- it DID get better. As if the semi wasn't thrilling enough, next came three edge-of-your-seat mains for the No.1 Pro title.

Main #1:Eight of the most powerful BMXers hammered down the first straightaway, and our Redline hero found himself stuck in the back of the pack. Within one straight, he'd moved up to fifth, and had Donny Robinson and John Purse in his sights. Jump by jump, he'd passed them with only the reigning No.1 Champion--Warwick Stevenson, in front. Having the momentum, Bubba was just about to make his move for first when The Warlock cased the last jump and swerved right in front of Bub' '04 Flight bike. The bump forced Bubba to slam a hay bale and he went down in flames, right in the last turn. Was it over for Harris?! ... not even.

Main #2: With an 8th place in the first round, Bubba knew that his only hope would be to win the next two rounds. With a perfect start and first straight, Harris came out of turn one with the lead and never looked back. Despite Stevenson right on his back knobbies, Bubba couldn't resist the urge to throw in a quick X-up over the 25-foot pro section doubles. It was his way of saying, "it ain't over 'til it's over."

Main #3: Bubba's miraculous third main really put an exclamation mark on how bad he wanted the No.1 plate. In the do-or-die final main of the day, he went from 6th place in the first turn, up to 4th place by turn two, and then quickly proceeded to move up to second place through the
monstrous pro section. Entering the final turn, it looked like a reverse-copy of the first main, with Harris and Stevenson practically grip-to-grip. Only this time, Warwick was the one who crash 'n burned, leaving Bubba to win the last main by 5 bike lengths to take the No.1 Pro plate. As he threw a fist of victory in the air, as the crowd went bonkers, he knew the No.1 plate was his.

MAKING BMX HISTORY: This Championship win makes Bubba THEE youngest AA-pro to win the No.1 plate... as he is 2 months younger than current mountain bike legend Mike King (who has been the youngest since 1989). ** Bubba is 19 years, 2 months. King was 19 years, 4 months.

All year long, he's had more motivation than anybody else to become No.1, and it was plastered right there on his chest in his podium acceptance of the coveted Silver Cup. Ever since Bubba's mom Anita lost her 2 year battle to cancer last September, he has been running her name on the back of his jersey. Thus, for the awards ceremony, Bubba turned his jersey around--showing the World who he won the No.1 title for.

* * * * *
JASON CARNE$ took his third consecutive No.1 VET PRO plate; and also made it a down-to-the-wire, edge-of-your-seat nail-biter. He knew what he had to do and did just that. With a 1-4-4 in the three mains, he held on to his points lead by the hair of his chiny-chin-chin. "It wasn't pretty," admitted Jason as he was loading up the Redline pits and rig late Sunday night. "But you can add another No.1 plate to the door. I guess that's all that matters."

* * * * * * *
KIM HAYASHI was also up for the No.1 Pro Girl title, but crashed HARD in her first main, and barely knew where she was the rest of Sunday. After that incredible lawn-dart (topped off with already being sore from a first-main crash the day before), the No.1 Pro Girl title was pretty much already lost to Samantha Cools. With the way points went, Hayashi had to beat Sammy flat out. To much of everyone's' amazement, Kim summoned enough memory to find her bike and got back on the gate for the 2nd and 3rd mains. And despite a mild concussion, she still remembered how to snap out of the gate. But it was obvious by the first turn that she wasn't her usual self, and was dropped by the lead pack.

Kim might've lost her hopes for the illustrious Triple Crown, but on the bright side, still ended her year with an NBL Championship and ABA and UCI World Champ titles. Which we'd sum up as being a pretty incredible season no matter what.

* * * * * *

In all, there is no denying that 2004 has been a tremendous year for Team Redline. Two ABA No.1 Pro titles, along with a NBL No.1 and UCI World Championship for Kim definitely proves that when it comes to winning; Redline bikes are the brand that'll get you there. Of course, our Pros couldn't have done it without the quality traction of TIOGA tires, the tremendous stopping power of PROMAX brakes and KOOLSTOP brake shoes, and the smooth rolling SUN RIMS and hubs. Thanks also goes to FSA, WTB, NINTENDO and ON-GUARD Locks for their loyal support and component.

On Thursday morning at 12:30 A.M., Bruce's 23 year old son Christopher was shot and killed in a senseless shooting in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Although information is sketchy at this time, what they do know is that he was returning from somewhere with two girls who were in the front seat of a car and Chris was in the back seat. A shot was heard, a bullet came through the rear of the car, through the trunk and back seat, striking Chris in the upper torso. He was rushed to a hospital, transferred to a trauma center where they worked on him for two hours but couldn't save him due to the nature of his injuries and loss of blood. Bruce is heading to Albuquerque, to retrieve his belongings from his apartment and arrange for shipment of Christopher's body home to San Diego. There will be services for him maybe next week. The thoughts and prayers of the BMX Family go out to Bruce in this terrible time of mourning and loss.

FACTORY TEAM REPORT.

5/13/04 FROM BMXMANIA.COM

ABA FACTORY TEAM REPORT VOLUME 3 - Roseville, California - With the season in full swing, the ABA's top factory teams marched into the Sacramento, California suburb of Roseville to do battle at Oak Creek BMX for the US Nationals. Factory Avent / Bombshell came into Nor Cal with the lead over second place Phantom / On Trac, third place Answer Factory, fourth place Factory Sharp and Redman / Yamaha Waverunner rounded out the top five. The stage was set for a major Factory showdown.

If you had to choose a word that described Roseville, that word has to be hot. With 100 degree temperatures scorching the venue, all the Factory riders were hiding out in their team compounds. One of the nicest new trailers was Challenge Racing's new 40-foot rig with air conditioning, a bedroom, and a lounge. Pete Heil is really going the extra mile to keep Factory BMX Racing at a professional level. Redman had the two brand-new Yamaha Waverunners on display just to let the top amateurs know what they were gunning for. Answer had their rig set up minus the Staats trailer and Phantom and Sharp had their compounds under the shade of the Roseville oaks. As always, Redline and Avent / Bombshell had their trailers and product displays out for fans to check out all the latest gear.

HIGHLIGHTS - While most of the Factory kids were toiling under the heat and trying to get the Oak Creek track dialed, local riders used their track knowledge to save energy in the heat of Friday and Saturday's practice. It paid off, with wins from plenty of Nor Cal locals. Sunday was slightly cooler than Saturday, but the action on the track was just as hot

Challenge Racing's Josh Oie was flying over the weekend and was on his way to a double-double when Phantom On Trac's Jay Greene put him over the first turn in his class main on Sunday.....The ABA shot some "friendly" photos with 16 Expert rivals Mike Moeller (Avent / Bombshell) and Sergio Pena (On Trac). They didn't duke it out off the track but they sure did in Sunday's class main when Moeller once again swooped under Pena (who was having Desoto flashbacks) in the last turn to take the win.....On Saturday, Avent / Bombshell's Joey Bradford was killing in motos but sprained his wrist in quarters then tried to do battle with Redman / Yamaha Waverunner's Jeff Pease in the 14 Expert main. After leading Jeff into the second turn, "Pimpin" Pease lived up to his nickname and swooped under Bradford to take the lead and the win.

The exact opposite happened on Sunday with Bradford passing Pease down the second straight to take the win.....Redman / Yamaha Waverunner's Corben Sharrah had no problem moving up into 12 Expert with a double on Saturday.....The "Tribe" pulled in another phenomenal score on Saturday behind the unstoppable Terrell Proctor. Does that kid ever lose? Looks like Terrell's trying to keep the Waverunner in the Redman family.....Phantom gym rat Kyle Biagi rocked the house, doubling up on 17-18 expert both days while Phantom powerhouse Justin Dickmeyer finally proved to the naysayers that he's definitely legit, taking 19-27 Expert both days then jumped ship is now on Redman .....On Trac really has a lock on the top girls in BMX and it showed with wins from Aubrey Freeman, Tiff Ford, and Terra Nichols, doubles from local Jacee Lempner and Shelbi Long, and a triple from local Taylor Wolcott.

Answer's Connor Fields grabbed himself double wins in 11 Expert which didn't fare too well with teammate Jared Garcia. Is this another Answer team rivalry?.....Answer's Mailani McNabb was out on the track sporting a bright orange cape. What's that all about?.....Answer's BoBo Lechner had a miserable Saturday but came back strong with a double on Sunday.....Sharp's new pick up, Kyle Leiber, was the man to beat with a Double Double in 6 Expert and 6-and-under Open....."Redline Girl" Jessica Rodolf was back in top form, knocking Avent / Bombshell's Alise Post off the track and doubling on Sunday.....Crash of the weekend has to go to Auburn / Extreme Sports' Mike Darnley, flying bikeless over the first turn and landing flat from 15 feet up.

When all was said and done, it went Redman (232), On Trac (222), and Avent / Bombshell (218), one-two-three on Saturday's Factory podium. On Sunday, Avent / Bombshell (227) took the win, On Trac (225) pulled in for second, and Answer Factory (217) finished off the podium.

TEAM BREAKDOWN - Factory Avent / Bombshell - The "Bomb Squad" pulled in wins from Joey Bradford, Mike Lundy, and Chad Kerley (Open double). Mike Moeller doubled in 16 Cruiser and won class on Sunday. Alise Post grabbed the top spot in 13 girls on Saturday and beat the boys in 13-14 Mixed open on Sunday. TJ Johnson squeaked a win out at the line on Saturday then obliterated the comp on Sunday in 28-35 Expert.

Phantom / On Trac - On Trac stepped it up with yet another Double Double from "Bad Boy" Billy Russell.

PROFILE TO RELEASE TI-SPROCKETS.

4/30/04

Profile Racing has taken their most popular sprocket design and made it out of billet aerospace titanium! The benefit is both improved strength and a large increase in tooth life.

The new titanium Imperial will initially be produced in 25tooth, 28tooth and 30tooth sizes, but may be made in other sizes in the future. The weight of the 25t Ti imperial is a mere 0.4 ounce heavier than the normal aluminum imperial, but should far outlast it in every aspect. The 25t is out now, with the 28t and 30t soon to come.

Hyper, long time supporter of the NBL, is also looking to repeat as National Team Champions, but they realize the task isn't going to be easy. "Being the reigning champs it's important that we stay on top of our game, we know there are a lot of good teams out there that want to be in our position of Champions," said Joe DeChamp, Hyper Vice President.

Performance BMX/Supercross Factory Rider, Brandon "WolfBMX.com" Murphy bought an AWESOME, custom Brew BMX frame during an eBay auction that Brew ran for BMX Super Photog, IDCBMX's, Jack McDaniel, this past Winter. The proceeds of the auction were designated to helping Jack with the expenses of his chemo therapy in a battle with cancer that has sidelined Jack from the National BMX scene that he so regularly worked.

Brandon has decided to help out a little more by donating the frame to the winner of the 11X Main at the ABA's upcoming Dixieland National in Atlanta, Georgia this coming June 12th. Thanks to Brew and to Brandon for the help to Jack, one of the coolest BMX guys on the circuit.

ABA IN RACER X

4/14/04

ABA BMX invades Racer X Illustrated! - Chandler, AZ (April 14, 2004) In a continued marketing effort to expose ABA BMX Racing to the masses, the ABA has teamed up with Racer X Illustrated, the premier Motocross and Supercross publication. The May issue of Racer X features a full-page color ad similar to the ones in the Supercross programs available at all 14 Supercross events. The ad encourages new participants to find their local track and cash in on a free 30-day trial membership.

According to Clayton John, ABA President, "The ABA is working hard to bring new participants into BMX. We have set aggressive long-term goals, which we are bound and determined to reach. In doing so we have created a strategy to stimulate growth at the local level through increased mass marketing such as the Supercross program, our participation with the UGP Roots Jam as well as increased marketing support for our local tracks via track promotional material for their distribution. We are confident that these efforts will keep BMX racing and the ABA on top,".

ABA FACTORY TEAM REPORT.

4/13/04

All the Factory big guns steamrolled into Harry Leary's Cutting Edge BMX for the seventh stop on the ABA National tour, the So Cal Nationals. The Phantom / On Trac effort came into Ontario with the points lead by virtue of a couple of good finishes in Washington and Florida. Factory Avent / Bombshell was in second place with Factory Sharp in tow for third. 2003 Champs Redman / Yamaha Waverunner brought up fourth and Answer Factory rounded out the top five.

The threat of rain for the weekend came to fruition during Thursday's set-up, along with thunder and lightning, and thoroughly drenched the race facility. The rain let up on Friday however and, surprisingly, the track was in great shape for the first round of practice. All the major teams were out in full force. Redman had the best Factory pit set-up with the Yamaha Waverunner semi complementing their already huge pit area. Factory Sharp showed up with their new trailer and was looking good in the pits. Factory Avent / Bombshell had their newly stickered 25'-foot trailer out with their new 20-foot circus tent. Answer / Staats had a great setup combining the Answer trailer and the Staats rig.

All the Factory kids were flying in practice and the weekend was shaping up to be one of the best team showdowns in recent history. Answer would take advantage of their hometrack advantage as guys like Mike Brabant and Jared Garcia were flying in practice. They took an immediate hit on Friday, however, when local boy Kris Fox took a bad spill in practice and didn't look good for Saturday's motos. Avent / Bombshell's and Mike Lundy had the second straight wired, pulling riders into the second turn. The Bomb Squad's Joey Bradford had the tight and technical rhythm section down and was ready for battle. Redman / Yamaha Waverunner's Jeff Pease had some difficulties getting down the first straight in practice but, knowing Jeff, that wouldn't hold him back.

The sun rose Saturday morning to cold and overcast conditions and, once again, the threat of rain. The weather held out until after the second round of motos then the rain let loose. For the second "A" schedule national in a row, rain was going to hamper the competition. Several big names were out of the main events, including Answer's Jared Garcia, Factory Challenge's Josh Oie and Avent / Bombshell's Mike Lundy and Chad Kerley.

The rain let up for the mains, however, and On Trac grabbed a victory from Billy Russell and Avent / Bombshell pulled in wins from Alise Post and Joey Bradford. Behind firsts from locals Mike Brabant and Travis Ohrazda and BoBo Lechner and David Herman, Answer (232) took the victory. Sharp (216) grabbed second with firsts from Jarred Reuter and Blake Paulson. Redman (202) pulled in for third with a victory from Corben Sharrah.

Sunday's weather was much better with no rain in sight. Factory Sharp pulled in a win from Jarred Reuter in 8 Expert. Avent / Bombshell nabbed victories from Mike Lundy, National #1 Alise Post, TJ Johnson and Chad Kerley. Redman (225) went back on top with wins from Jeff Pease, Rell Proctor, and Corben Sharrah. Answer (216) lost Mikey Brabant to a hard spill in Semi's but pulled in firsts from BoBo Lechner and Joshua Perez and had to settle for second overall. Challenge (214) stepped it up with a win from Josh Oie which was good enough for third on the podium.

So, after Ontario, the Factory standings shake down like this:

1 PHANTOM-ON TRAC                                     2333
2 FACTORY AVENT-BOMBSHELL                 2016
3 SHARP BMX.COM                                         1888
4 REDMAN-YAMAHA WAVERUNNER         1763
5 ANSWER FACTORY                                      1709

Since not all teams have attended the same amount of nationals, the following are team sheet averages from the first six "A" schedule nationals.

1 REDMAN-YAMAHA WAVERUNNER 228

2 ANSWER FACTORY 219

3 FACTORY AVENT-BOMBSHELL 203

4 PHANTOM-ON TRAC 197

5 REDLINE (only 4 scores) 204

Look for news from the next ABA "A" schedule national the US Nationals in Roseville, California. Can Redman continue their consistent domination? Can Answer finally pull ahead of the Tribe? Can Avent / Bombshell pull through the "new team blues"? Will Sharp be able to take advantage of their home track advantage? Stay tuned!
