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!
