2007 ABA BMX PRO Standing through Mile High Nationals- Dacono, CO.

by Shannon Gillette




The American Bicycle Association hosted the Mile High Nationals this past weekend, August 17-19, in Dacono, CO. The weather was a little rough leading up to the event this year, but the Dacono crew always does a great job on the track and facility and the event went off without a hitch!


The racing at the Mile High event was second to none! With only THREE  PRO SERIES events left plus the ABA GRANDS, many of the sports top athletes were on hand to take a shot at getting some much needed points towards the ABA BMX titles and the brand new Suzuki`s that go with them. Derek Betcher took the win both days in the AA Pro class. This has been a break out year for Derek and marks his first two wins of the 2007 season This also makes him the 10th AA Pro to stand atop the Pro podium in 2007. That`s right, ABA BMX has had 10 different AA Pro winners this season which tops the 2006 record of 9 AA Pro winners. That just goes to show how deep the talent pool is at ABA BMX Pro Series events!


On the Ladies side Alise Post continued to show everyone why she was ABA`s 2006 Woman`s Pro Champion. Alise picked up a set of wins in Colorado as well, bringing her total to 11 wins this season. Alise is the only Pro to break into the double digit wins list so far this season. As of now, Alise looks to have the 2007 ABA Woman`s Pro title in stangle hold!


Pro Cruiser saw Kenth Fallen take the big win on Saturday, and Pauly Lange coming back strong to take the win on Sunday. Both riders picked up their fourth win in Pro Cruiser and both took one step closer to Danny C. in the #1 spot.


Vet Pro saw the return of "C-Money" Jason Carnes back on top of Saturday`s Podium. The reigning Champ picked up his eighth win of the 2007 season and showed the fans why he`s won the ABA Vet Pro title five years running. Jason Silva has continue to impress since his debut in the Vet Class in Phoenix earlier this year. Jason finally picked up his first big Vet Pro win in Colorado. Jason has been so close, so many times only to end up second. Sunday was his day to get the big check and claim the top spot on the podium.




The ABA would like to thank all the participants, families, teams, sponsors, and BMX industry for helping make the Dacono, CO. event such a huge success!

STEPHEN MURRAY FUND UPDATE


Stephen Murray is a BMX Athlete that could use help from the BMX community. Stephen is a professional dirt jumper that is well known for his amazing tricks like double back flips, 360 back flips, turndown back flips and so much more.



Stephen Murray came to the United States from New Castle Great Britain over 10 years ago with a dream of riding with the best athletes in the sport. He came over here originally as a BMX racer but quickly took to Dirt Jumping and Freestyle in the scene of Huntington Beach and Sheep Hills.



2001 and 2002 marked the biggest year for Stephen Murray of his career. He won the Gold Medal in Dirt Jumping at X Games and back to back wins at the Gravity Games, the two biggest contests at the time.



Stephen is quoted on his own riding style, "I go 110%, go big and send it!" (EXPN.com)



On Friday June 22nd at the AST Dew Tour BMX Dirt Finals in Baltimore, MD, Stephen Murray took a horrific fall on the final set of the dirt section while sending a double back flip. Stephen has received career ending injuries to his spinal cord and vertebrae.



Unlike the NFL or other major professional sports which have unions that provide funds to athletes who are injured, BMX has nothing like this. BMX however is much more like a family than any other sport. Now is the time we need to reach out and support one of our family members like never before.



The injuries that Stephen sustained are no doubt going to affect him for a life time. Medical bills alone can reach astronomical dollar amounts. As a BMX community we have the power to help him. Stephen is a young 27 years old and is the financial provider for a wife and two young children.



This message has the potential to reach millions. Even if you are only able to donate $1 if we did it all together we can accomplish a great deal. This is for real, this is an opportunity to help out one of the most loved riders in our sport. Please find it in your hearts to contribute any dollar amount that you can, and say a prayer for Stephen Murray and his family in this difficult time.



Here are three ways you can contribute:

Email StephenMurrayFund@hotmail.com with the dollar amount you would like to contribute. You will then receive an email back with the invoice that leads you directly to a Pay Pal Secure account where you can pay by credit card or bank account number.
