31/07 Charity Auction: Sam Willoughby Jersey

by bmxultra.com
This Charity Auction for Sam Willoughby’s race jersey was brought to our attention today so we thought we’d share it with you and hopefully help Sam and the Happy Valley BMX Club raise some much needed money for Curtis Dowdell.

How cool would it be to own a signed original BMX jersey from…

Sam Willoughby – 2012 BMX World Champion & Olympian!!

Sam started racing BMX at his local track, Happy Valley at the tender age of 6, since then his career
highlights are to numerous to mention. He became the Junior World Champion in 2008. Currently
ranked no 1 in the world, Sam has achieved the ultimate accolade of 2012 BMX World Champion.

Sam would like to donate all monies raised to support a talented
young BMX and MTB rider, 15 year old Curtis Dowdell.

In March 2012 Curtis was injured whilst representing South Australia in the ACT
Champbikxs final.Curtis suffered 8 fractured vertebrae, one of which was crushed, 3 broken ribs
and punctured both lungs. After a long stay in Canberra Hospital and major
surgery to stabilise his vertebrae, the good news came through that he was
in recovery and could ‘wiggle his toes’. With the support of family, friends and the BMX and MTB
community, Curtis now faces the long and challenging road to recovery.

26/07 New Products: Profile Elite Cranks

by bmxultra.com
I was down at Elite Cycle Imports today when a shipment of Profile Racing products arrived. There was a real buzz in the warehouse when they realised the new Profile Elite cranks were in the shipment. The cranks are for their tradeshows and still not in production yet, but it was great to get a close look at the crank set after seeing some photos from Interbike nearly a year ago.

The problem was I didn’t have my camera, only the one built into my phone, so sorry about the quality of the pictures.

When you look at the cranks essentially it’s just an extension on the tried and true Profile cranks that have worked for decades.

The major difference is they are said to be stiffer, stronger and lighter.

The 19mm 48 spline bottom bracket axle has been replaced with a 22mm 48 spline bb, so the only option for these cranks is the 22mm outboard bottom bracket. You don’t have to look too far to notice the difference with the axle. The splits and the wedge aid the flush bolts in keeping your cranks nice and tight.

The crank shape has changed and these cranks are bossless, so the only option for a spider is the 22mm spline drive spider.

No matter how you look at it, that’s one sweet crankset that’s poised to rival any cranksets on the market real soon now.

26/07 Lilydale BMX Club needs your help…again

by bmxultra.com
Here’s how the Lilydale BMX track is looking since last week’s working bee…obviously there is still more work to do.

The Lilydale BMX Club are one of the oldest BMX clubs in Victoria. This year they have completely bulldozed their track and rebuilt it from scratch. We’ve been keeping an eye on it’s progress and it’s going to be a fast and fun track.

The work is about 85% complete, it just needs the top surface added and some clean up work to finish it off. The start hill is set to be finished this week. So it looks like it’s all coming together. Except for the poor handful of people who are there every spare minute they have, they are starting to unravel (it could be argued they were like that before they began the massive project.)

If you have time to help the guys at Lilydale they will be getting started around 9 am this Saturday July 28. Lunch is provided. If you can’t make it this Saturday they will have a series of working bees over the coming months to get the track ready to ride again. The more help they get the sooner the track will be finished.

The track is located at the corner of Anderson Rd and Nelson Rd in Lilydale.

25/07 Redline riders red hot in Rockford

Redline press release
With the Olympic Games coming up in a few weeks, Redline team manager Jason Carnes brought a small but talented squad to do battle at the Midwest National in hot and humid Rockford, IL this past weekend.

In Elite Men’s racing, Saturday saw co-sponsor riders Kyle Bennett of ORP/Redline get on the podium with an impressive third place finish while Stile Industries/Redline rider Elliot McGrath took a 5th place. In Sundays racing it was current USA BMX fourth ranked rider Denzel Stein doing the heavy lifting for Redline. Denzel was pushing Olympics bound New Zealand rider Marc Willers hard for the pass (see photo) through turns two and three but ultimately had to make his move for the pass on the final straight coming up a tire width short for the win but capturing a well deserved photo finish second place finish.

In the amateur ranks AM#1 Josh Klatman doubled by winning both days. On Saturday Josh had a perfect start and led from start to finish, while on Sunday he had to rely on a bit of luck by avoiding a crash in front of him but which allowed him to move from 4th to 1st for his second victory of the weekend.

In 41+ expert former Redline Pro rider 2X4 Tommy Board continued his strong comeback under the Redline colors by winning cruiser both days and taking a third and a 1st  in class.

In Vet Pro TM Jason Carnes was back on the track having recovered from a hard fall in Salt Lake City. Jason took a fourth place on Saturday and a fifth on Sunday.

Redline would also like to acknowledge the fact that there were some great results and a strong presence shown by two of our Regional Development Teams. Both ORP Redline from Texas and Redline Adventure from Minnesota continue to build their programs and really put on a great show for the fans!

Finally, race fans need to set their DVR’s up to capture the Olympic Games coverage on NBC on August 8th, 9th and 10th. Of the 48 riders competing in the Olympic BMX Competition, 11 of those riders will be aboard Redline bicycles.

Team Redline enjoys valuable relationships with its suppliers and sponsors including Answer Products, Tioga, Sun Ringle, Koolstop and Shimano.

25/07 ONE Bicycles Australia Factory Team at the Penrith Open

ONE Bicycles Australia press release
This year’s Penrith Open was the Dynamite round for the ACT riders and also a double points round, so a good result was paramount for those wishing to represent the ACT at the Aussies in 2013 in Brisbane. Josh, Nik and Mikayla drove up early Saturday morning to do some training at Luke Madill’s track with the ACT BMX State Team before heading across to Penrith track in the afternoon for practice there.

Mikayla was keen to see how she stacked up against the 12 girl’s class in 20” and was also taking her little blue ONE cruiser out for a ride! In 12 Girls Mikayla resumed her battle against her rival and friend Emma O’Hearn! Emma is a big powerful girl who is an up and comer in the sport and has been making Mikayla work hard which is great for both girls!

Mikayla came out hard behind Emma in the first moto and rode hard chasing Emma down to pass her in the last corner for a drag race to the line, taking a comfortable win! The next two motos were a repeat of the first! Emma’s first straight pull is powerful and Mikayla had to hunt her down to race her down the last straight for the race to the line! In the final, the two girls rode hard against each other with another battle to the line with Mikayla taking a clean sweep for the day. Mikayla’s other friend Renee “Possum” Williams was back from injury and riding well for thirds all day! Great to see her back on the bike.

On Cruiser Mikayla was up against bigger and older ladies and this was going to be a challenge for her! She is a fighter and rode hard in the heats with consistent thirds. In the final she came out hard and fought her way to the third spot where she finished for the day! She loves her cruiser and enjoyed the extra track time.

Nik was against a stacked 14 boy’s class on the day and it could have been mistaken for the NSW Titles with the class of riders in attendance. Like Mikayla he too brought along his ONE Pro cruiser for a ride!

In 14 boys Nik was in the mix with consistent 4ths in the motos! He had a great gate but struggled in the pack to jump the double at the end of the first straight which slowed him and kept him in the pack making it hard work for him! Nik was lucky and made it to the final getting left with gate 7! Once again he had a great snap but the field of fast riders including Andrew Hughes, Brock Griffiths and team mate Justin Beattie, to name a few, muscled him out and he chased from the first corner. He gained a place down the second straight but remained in 7th as he crossed the line!

Nik had better luck in cruiser and rode well jumping the jump he struggled with on his 20” bike! Nik won two of his motos and came second in the other, giving him a birth in to the final! In the final he came out hard and rode well to keep the field at bay and take away the win for the day!

Josh was racing A Men 20” on the weekend with some very fast younger riders! Josh had not been doing much training and it showed with him struggling in the field of quick riders. Josh rode as well as could be expected but with consistent fifths and a fourth in the third moto, found him miss the final by a point! Josh was blown away with the speed of the riders he was against and realised that the lazy holiday period had caught up with him!

Josh decided to race Nik’s Cruiser on the weekend in 17 to 24 Men and was looking forward to having some e fun as he had not raced a cruiser for 2 years. Josh came out in the first heat and jumped everything on the track looking right at home on the cruiser. When he returned from his first place win in moto one, he had a smile from ear to ear stating he could manual the bike so decided to jump everything! As the day went on Josh got more comfortable on the bike but was obvious he was just having fun! He won the first two motos and then in the third came out of gate 6 and had the holeshot until he buzzed his pants on the first jump combo and spun the bike 180 degrees across the rest of the field in a big crash! Josh got up, picked up the bike, turned and pointed to his friends watching from the jump where he just crashed and got back on and finished the race. He managed to destroy a jersey, pair of pants and elbow guards, but not a scratch on him or the new helmet! Kid is so lucky. In the final Josh wet out and smashed it down the first two straights but got a little loose in the third but still managed a win! Josh had a ball and provided his friends with a good laugh!

Not a bad weekend for the ONE Bicycles Australia Factory Team, but results could have been better with some training!

We would like to thank Luke Madill and his lovely family for allowing us to stay at their family home and to ride the track. A big thanks to Russ Lecher and the Penrith Club for a great event!

The kids had a ball and that is made possible because they ride and use the best products in the market with ONE bmx frames, SNAP Chainrings, head stems and chain tensioners, Lizard Skins Grips and THE products. Big thanks to ONE Bicycles, ECI, Scott Hand, Craig Fisher and Bike Corp for the ongoing support and belief in the kids! Big shout out to Shane Jenkins for his belief in the kids and allowing the opportunity to ride the best bikes in ONE!

17/07 The new Demon Hyper Knee X D30

Demon press release
Demon understands that most riders will be wearing their gear for hours and hours at a time. With that in mind, Demon released the new Demon Hyper Knee X D3O, which is a very aggressive, lightweight kneepad. The Hyper knee delivers some serious protection as well as being extremely comfortable. The benefits come from a Kevlar front shield, making it ultra durable, and D3O impact technology, which absorbs shock and protects against any blow to the knee. Demons secret, though, lies in the form-fit padding behind the D3O. The memory foam cushions and conforms to your knee giving you the I-could-sleep-in-these-things feeling as well as adding that much more protection against a wipeout. The Airoprene body makes for excellent ventilation as well as the terry cloth inside which helps wick away sweat to keep you cool and dry. The entire pad has double bound stitching making it extra durable. “We want this to be a kneepad that last a long time so we put the effort into building it the right way,” says Co-founder, Brent Davidson. Try it on and you’ll never want to take it off.

05/07 New Products: THE Maxi Guards

by bmxultra.com
I was down at ECI checking out some new products when the THE Maxi Guards arrived. THE’s Maxi guards are for elbows or knees, that’s right knees and not knee/shin, so you won’t get away with wearing these with your race shorts, but they will work just fine under full length race pants.

What’s interesting about the Maxi guards is they are soft and pliable, they get softer while you wear them to a point you forget you are wearing them. So how do they protect you? Funny you should ask. They use SAS-TEC inserts that harden on impact, instantly! After the impact the foam returns to it’s original form.

These guards are packed full of features, check them out for yourself at
store.the-industries.com/products/category/Maxi+Guards/9303.3.1.1.10889.1020632.0.0.0

THE products are distributed in Australia by Elite Cycle Imports.

02/07 Identiti BMX Braintree Nationals report

Identiti press release
Last weekend the Identiti BMX Team were back in action at Braintree Essex, for Rounds 6 and 7 of the British National Series. 

As main sponsors of the event, Team Identiti had a big presence off the track, and the Team were ready to make their presence well and truly known on the track too.

As with all outdoor events , it brought some typically unpredictable June weather, but that didn’t dampen the racing down one bit.

First up, was Martin ‘Oggy’ Ogden representing in 35-39 Cruisers. Oggy had a huge crash at the worlds only 4 weeks ago and got 2 broken ribs during the crash so Oggy was taking it a bit easy at the weekend to ensure his points lead stays intact.

Oggy got a 4th on saturday and a 8th on sunday in the Cruiser class. On Sunday Oggy raced in the 20" class to help keep a good standing in the overall points total for the series Oggy came in 13th overall

The Team’s youngest ripper Jake Power was up next  in the 15’s.  Jake had an unbeaten run going into this race and he wasn’t about to let that slip. Jake has so far been unbeaten this year in his age group Jake now leads the points table with a 90 point lead over 2nd place

He was smooth and confident all weekend, winning every single lap both days.  Jake’s proving he can win anywhere…. indoors, outdoors, rain or shine.   Another maximum points weekend in the bag!

Last but not least, Identiti’s Junior Men rider Michael Cummins found the form we all knew was there.

Michael got on well with the Braintree track and had some good motos and got into the finals but on the 1st turn Michael lost control during a high speed jump and crash hurting his lower back which would then effect for the sunday race. All in all a good weekend for Michael and it was good to see him making the moves to enable him to get into the final

Jake’s not the only Power that knows how to win. He has inherited his winning ways from his Dad Pete, coming into this round was always going to be hard for Pete after that huge crash at the World champs only 4 weeks earlier Pete had been off the bike for a couple of weeks and was still not 100%.

But Pete wanted to ensure he kept the top spot and any points he could earn from this round could only help. Pete had some good motos winning a few on each day but in the finals Pete was happy with a top 4 finish rather than trying to push hard and maybe crash again due to not been 100%. The veterans class is a very hard class and with Pete carrying the number 1 board a lot of riders and keen to take it off him for 2013.

What a weekend for Tre this was the 1st weekend Tre was in full team race kit as he riders under the British Cycling jerseys when he is racing at the worlds and European events, Tre had been to the local school on the Friday to talk about BMX and the impact it has had on his life and what it is like to be on the ODP squad for British cycling.

Tre won a few of his motos and was looking good for the final he got  gate 2 so had to make sure his gate was super sharp and fast Tre was in the lead by the 1st turn and raced a good race right to the finish line. Sunday was also a good day too with

Tre coming in 2nd behind his BC coach Marcus.

It was really good having Tre in the team area and during the weekend he signed many autographs for the fans
