ABA Northwest Nationals Report

*** Gene`s BMX Report & Photos - Northwest Nationals ***



Pasco, Washington -- 03/21/2005
Gene`s BMX took a trip to the Northwest Nationals
this year of 2005 The drive was fun from Wenatchee
to Pasco, It was nice, but going back home, it was raining
hard, but I made it home safe and in one pece......

I hope eveyone elses travle trips
to and from Pasco was safe aswell.

It was nice to see some of the people I knew - like,
Greg & Bryan Gamble, Danny Bushnell, Mike Raich,
Mike Bull and a hole lot of others, We could all talk
bmx and coumpters for ever. It was also nice to meet
the guy that runs the big BMX web site BMX Mania.com
- Mr. Jerry Landrum........There also was alot of other
people I met, the name list is so long, So I don`t miss
anyones name, - you all know who you where,
It was nice to meet all of you at the Northwest
Nationals this year.

It was sad not seeing any bmx riders showing the
Schwinn logo this year at the 2005 ABA BMX Northwest
Nationals in Pasco, Washington. Gene`s BMX and alot of
others was hopping to see the Schwinn name at this event,
but we did not, - Well -I guess Nate Birkheimer had other
agendas this week end. He was not at the Northwest Nationals,
But the ABA saved the day by having a few and flying a few
Schwinn logo Banners on the side lines of the bmx race track.
But its just not the same as seeing that Schwinn logo on a bmx
rider. Maybe next year,- you think?

It looked that everyone was riding well and nice and
had smiles on there faces. A few tears at the finnish
line of a lost moto or two. But seemed the tears where
dryed up with in a matter of time. Some of the racing
motos where hot racing and some where close. A few
falls from a few riders, but most got up and road the
track to the finnish line with the crowd chearing loud
for the fallen riders.

The Northwest Nationals race in Pasco had some
hot BMX Racing Action for what I seen on Saturday,
from all the PRO`s to the novice riders, and to the
track its self. "Everyone Did A Great Job!" --Well Done!

A Big Thumbs Up! to the ABA for making a nice track
as they did. The track was layed out well and the bmx
racers raced it well.

The Great Northwest Nationals 2005 was a big bmx success
and Fun! I hope to see you all next year at the ABA Northwest
Nationals in 2006

Photos by Gene`s BMX on 03/19/2005 at the Northwest
Nationals in Pasco, Wa. I was using a HP photo smart 215
digital camera, so some of the photos are not the best,
Some blurr in the bulk of them, but they do look a little
bit better than last years pic`s, I guess I should think
about upgrading to a better camera sometime. but there
is 192 photo shots for you to view or what ever. Enjoy!
