The NBL/UCI series included all eight UCI North American Continental races in a total point format.Congratulations to the Champions and thanks to everyone who participated in the series. The NBL Elite Series comes to an exciting finish, September 3 in Louisville at the 29th Annual NBL Grand Nationals.

Ya gotta love the Top Ten braggin rights: Hi, I’m Greg Romero, and I am one of the Top Ten ELITE riders in the US and got $63 for doing so!!
I saw these guys and gals bust their asses at South Park. Yeah, Donny got $2500 for finishing first, and yeah, its not the World or National title, but c’mon folks, THIS is what we pay our pros????
63 is his point total right? Only top 3 got paid.
This is part of the problem, the top pros, should be racing difficult tracks and should be paid as such. Make this a spectator sport, and BING BING BING, WINNER. Not what they did with the downhill series, basically came to all jumping , and no pedaling. Big jumps, long straights, and bone jarring rythem sections, get good sponsorship, and media coverage, and we are in the lime light
