Mike Gul is a riot. He went from Pony tail to crew cut to shaved head now. We had two full gates of eight in Vet and can you believe Rupe didn’t make the main either day?!?!?! Neither did Madden or Downey. That’s heavy.
I’m watching Farside’s race and hear the announcer say Gorgeous George is in front of him. Holy color control, I haven’t heard that name since 89! Gorgeous George Goodall is back but Farside beat him both days for the win.
In amateur, Jeremy Smith was on the outside coming around the first turn battling for first when he got taken out. That’s okay, he’s still the shizz and if he stays with this stuff, he’ll be the AA everyone is talking about in 2017. I guess saver stamps are worth more than I think because those little ABA kids will KILL for them. Bring your elbow pads.
I don’t know Derosa at all and I don’t even know if he races cruiser but I saw him win 20″ on Sunday. Another potential AA. The next eight years should be interesting.
In 13x, Delaware’s Austin Loebe screwed up Saturday but on Sunday showed his normal self and SMOKED THE LIVING HELL out of 13x. He’s another one that will be AA if he doesn’t give up BMX for football, motocross, cars, girls, UNIX administration, whatever.
14X is a riot. I believe Buck Taylor from Cedar, PA won both days. There’s a six foot ape named Sebastian Torbert in that class that everybody hates. Another one of the Floridians staying with me, Will Grant is way faster than the rest of that class but was choking and couldn’t put it together either day. On Saturday Sebastian tried to put him over the first turn so Will came back and took him out in the second turn. They almost went at it right on the track. We heard about that all night. Too funny.
Kyle Kellner finally put it together and got 2nd in 15x on Sunday. It’s about time ya freak!
17-18X was heavy too. Kelty didn’t get a hot gate but he kept picking people off around the track until the last turn where Travis Jurrell left three inches open on the inside and that was all Kelty needed. Kelty muscled his way in and Jurrell went down in the process. Jurrell was HOT and wanted to fight. His whole team wanted to back him up. Even the moms. It was an aggressive move but that’s BMX. Maybe it was too aggressive. I don’t know what my opinion on that is.
Can you believe Frank Klimecki bought an ABA license for the first time in twenty years and raced. Frank’s no dummy. He won his second round on Sunday and got 2nd or 3rd in the main.
I did not see Cassidy Cox, Taylor Farside or Leadslead race all weekend so somebody else will have to report on them.
I have video of pros and some ams which I will post soon.
Unfortunately it was cold and windy but it was the shizz anyway. All the AAs and Vets looking for a title were there, everybody was raving about the turns, Leadsled and Don did a first and rounded up some holeshot money on their own, everybody was drooling over the motocross and it was ABA so it ran ON TIME.
How do they do that?
14 AAs, 16 As, 16 Vets and six Girl Pros were there.
Leadslead and Don rounded up a special $1000 holeshot award for the lady pros EACH day. Alise the Beast got it Saturday by one foot over Hayashi. Sunday, they split the pot 750/250 for first and second. Alise got the holeshot and Arielle Martin got second. Alise the Beast pocketed $1750 just in holeshot money for the weekend. Much like Jeff Upshaw and Scotty Cranmer, she used to be on Road Kill. That’s the secret to success boys and girls so go out and order your frame now.
In AA, Bubba, Stumpy, Bennett, DR, Nobles, Becerine, Brabant, Moeller, Caluag, Lange, Rogers, Tyler Brown, and Kenth Fallen were there. Stumpy and Bennett were holeshotting a lot but Bubba pulled anyone and everyone in the rhythm. Don’t quote me on this but I believe he got first both days.
What I was interested in was A pro. That was a BATTLE between Delizia and Mike Kapes. The two rookie pros were SMOKING the rest of the class. Unfortunately Phil was choking on the gate so he ended up with third on Sat and second on Sun. When he didn’t choke he holeshotted. Kapes went 1-1-2 both days to win. He was staying at my house so I was rooting for him this weekend. Sorry Phil. Don put up $250 for a single A holeshot award in the third round on Sunday which Phil got by ONE inch.
Chad Street won Vet on Sat and perhaps Carnes got it on Sunday. Mike Gul is back (minus the pony tail) and made the main both days.
Caveman was battling with Cody Smart most of the weekend. Neither of us made the main. Caveman has been battling with Cody Smart for ten years now. Caveman thinks Cody Smart rocks. Cody Smart is old school and Caveman is proud to battle with someone he used to read about in BMXA. Caveman has also been racing Rupe, Madden, Lamoglia, Ham and Carnes for ten years now and wouldn’t have it any other way. Caveman wonders when Farside or Ciancio will move up to Vet. Caveman wonders……
(Caveman likes to talk in the third person)I was training hard starting in July but I wrecked my shoulder at Egg Harbor and just got back on the bike so that’s my excuse. I got beat at my own track. I got beat on my own gate. 5-7-5 today was the best I could do. Erick, I’ll tell you all about that later. Enough about me.
Stay tuned tomorrow for the amateur update including Farside, Goodall, Klimecki, Kelty, Loebe, and Smith. And yes, I just said Klimecki. I’m going to bed.
Delaware is the bomb! 114 motos, a BOATLOAD of pros, motocross goin on in the background. We even had a stealth bomber fly over. I’ve never seen one of them before. It looks like a UFO. Mike Kapes won A pro. Delizia screwed up his gate in the first round so he just couldn’t get it done. Farside won. Jeremy Smith won cruiser and I’m told he got second on 20″ but I just can’t believe that. Derosa won 20″. Caveman did awful.
Delaware is the bomb. If you’re not here, you’re retarded.
White Bear !?!?!?! You were a rebel. That’s an ABA bike. At least you weren’t running a Bomber plate or they would have kicked you out!
Rock on Jess!!!! You know you’re a hardcore BMXer when you suit up and ride your bike through the living room. He is soooo Kevin Hull. I think that’s the BMX Action cover shot taken from the other side. 😀 Yeah, you weren’t NBL unless you rode a Cyclecraft with a Crit Plate on it.
Drew Jenkins, trail boss at Drexelbrook was the A pro that rode for Cycle Works. He had stupid, crazy, mad, def, illegal skill.
Where the heck was DJ’s based out of? All I ever knew was that Lynch, Salzman and Warnicke rode for them. Cool looking jerseys.
May 24, 1986, 16 novice at Deptford on my Diamond Back Super Streak. I got something like 5th out of 6 in my first moto but I’ll never forget the feeling I had. I came across the line and thought, boy that was fun. I had been all around and done all the things in life any 16 year old had done but nothing ever made me feel like that. It was like I was alive for the very first time. I guess that’s what keeps us all doing it 20 years later.
I made the main and in my class was this 6’3, 135 lb, squirrelly ass black kid. We were side by side rolling through the doubles coming out of the first turn when he lets out a yell and falls, letting his bike go. Well his bike kept going so here I was, racing a ghost ridden bike down the second straight. The thing kept going halfway down the straight right next to me until it decided to swerve into me and take me out. Not only was the rider a squirrel but his bike was too!
I was so furious and I vowed to beat him the next week. I did and I won. Good times.
And who is Delaware’s super midget girl?
There’s a motocross track next to the BMX track and apparently there will be a race on Sunday. That usually means practice on Saturday. Cool to watch but gets a little noisy during practice. Braaaaaap, braap, braaap, braaaaaaaaap!
Kent Gordy, Ciancio, and Farside should all be there on cruiser. Good stuff.
Then the bonus is, after you’re done racing you go down the road to Hooters for a buffalo chicken sandwhich. Mmmmmm, chicken.
Mmmmmm, Delaware.
Mmmmmm, ABA.
Mmmmmm, BMX.
All the AA, girl and vet pros will be there chasing the point series. Right now, Bennett, DR, and Harris are all close in points. I got Domingos Lamoglia flying in. Single A will bring Charlie Hunt who came back and is smoking, Brandon Hopkins, Justin Wike, and the regular northeast crew.
I predict Loebe, Passwaters, Kelty, and Leadslead will all win their classes.
Anyone who wants to see a national run on time will be there. BMX.
(my mom dragged me to that concert)
Dragged???? I’m sure. You were singing wake me up before you go-go the whole way and you know it.
I SO did not like the Village People. I was a Menudo fan. Get it right.
Farside’s got Van Halen written all over him. Of course back then, what BMXer didn’t?
Hayden to me says Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Guns n Roses, all that. He used to look like Slash.You forgot one
Leadsled: Wham
Oh buddy, I’ve got pictures of you in the Shimano jersey and special Weinstetter issue tie dye jeans. When I get a scanner, when I get a scanner…..
Rich, who are you kidding? You’ll be back. I keep saying I’m gonna quit but then something inside me keeps pulling me back in.
Chris, I got a 20″ (heh, heh). I can wreck on that too. Heck, it’s Egg Harbor. The only place I haven’t wrecked is the announcer’s tower.
Let’s all go down and race cruiser and wreck in front of Whiley. Hehh, hehh.
Being the second to last national before the grands, all the AAs, girls and Vet Pros will be there to get some last chance points. The second straight is the bomb, the rhythm section is the bomb and the ABA is the bomb. The whole place is going to blow up. If you want to see a national done right, step outside your comfort zone and check it out.
