U S National-Roseville - 2006
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.
