Intense Challenge Pasco race report
Hello everyone, As most of you were aware a small group of Intense/Challenge riders made the trip to Pasco last weekend. here is Alden Volle was on fire all weekend doubling on class and cruiser Saturday and taking 1st on class and 2nd on cruiser Sunday. With a short first straight and short track overall, Alden was very aggressive down the first straight and into the corners.On Sunday nothing changed taking a 2ND coming from the outside on cruiser but killed class on 20 inch with another win. Great job Alden. Our mighty mite Dustin Hammond tore up the completion in class getting a lead down the first straight and never giving it up. Taking first on Saturday and Sunday in class and a 2ND on Saturday and 3rd on Sunday in open. Great job Dustin. Maybe you need to give your Dad a clinic. Another rider making the trip having a good weekend was our senior rider Trevor Fay. Trevor made both of his mains in AA Saturday against the top group of pros. Sunday Trevor won his first pro race wining Pro Cruiser. Our other AA pro Josh Oie made the trip riding well but just missed making the cut. Keep working Josh it will come around. Danny Essley and Daniel Sawyer also made the trip and both made mains on Sunday and rode well. Josh, Trevor and Tommy are in Nellis this weekend, Lets wish the well and I look forward to seeing all of you in Phoenix.

After 3 weeks of non stop rain, a lot of people had their doubt`s if the U.S. National at Oak Creek BMX in Roseville Ca. would be a repeat of Ontario several years ago, but the Sky`s cleared and track directors Bruce and Linda Minton did a great job keeping the track in good shape.
Intense / Challenge came a needing a couple of good scores. With no AA Class race, AA pros Josh Oie and Trevor Fay decided to race in the Pro open for the weekend. Josh had a good start taking a 2nd to AA Paul Lange Friday, On Saturday with AA Paul Lange, AA Michael Hughes and Trevor Fay, Vet # 1 Jason Carnes and a solid group of A pros, Josh had a good race with Revtec`s Fabin Hernandez on Saturday. With Hernandez winning a tie breaker and Josh had to settle for a 2nd. Josh followed it up with a win on Sunday. Trevor Fay rode well for spending the week in the weight room, placing 3rd on Sunday. The team did great on Saturday with a 220 score placing 2nd to the Intense / Phantom-Ontrac crew. Sunday was like watching domino`s for a number of our class riders, going down one after the other and ended up with a 4th. Our mighty mite Dustin Hammond continued to tear up the 7X class taking wins both Saturday and Sunday. Most of the weekend Dustin was in another ZIP code. New team member Heather Allread had another good weekend winning Cruiser Saturday and Sunday. Taking a break from competitive horse riding 15 year old Amanda Volle returned to the BMX track taking a pair of 5Th`s in class. Little brother Alden Volle took home a win in 9 Cruiser and was one of the domino`s hitting the ground on Sunday in class. The surprise of the weekend might have been returning team member Christian Camacho coming off of a 3rd in Phoenix, won the 12 x and led from start to finish. A great win after only being back for a couple of months.Danny Essley, Bryce Betts, Dakotha Isenberg and Daniel Sawyer all rode well making their mains. a A Pro Tommy Bellew was fighting off a bug not feeling 100% but will be ready for Lake Paris. 11x Gerold Cuyle just getting back from a 2 week long field trip to Washing D.C barley got on his by the weekend.
Our next team race will be at Lake Paris.
