We've been borrowing photos from Team Young BMX so many times for this pin*up section that we're considering changing the name. This one has some proper cleavage. Thanks again for the help guys.

Danny Parks came a knockin' and I was already set to go on the trip to Virginia. I got to see the KONY Scion Xb. Thing is sick, they really hooked it up! We took off in that thing and first stop was Bob Evans Diner in New Cumberland,PA. Me and Danny would personally like to thank the waitresses at that joint for making our Bob Evans experience a good time! Made some new friends as well, HOLLA LADIES!!! KONY van's next stop was the side of the road...Xb got a wave down by officer "ticket masta sanchez" Danny had a led foot..but hey...who doesnt? Didn't bum us out, we carried on with the mission!

Round 9 of the 2006 ABA Pro series national events was held this past weekend at the Rockford BMX track. Rockford is known as one of the smoothest and fastest tracks on the national tour and is one of the best tracks in the nation. A purse power track, Rockford showcases the riders that have been putting in the time training. Hot and humid conditions met the riders smack on at the start of the race weekend on Saturday, and Sunday was an all day rain laden race day. Both days had exciting race action from the Double A Marketing pros who were in attendance. Here is how Kyle Bennett and Randy Stumpfhauser finished up the weekend:

Kyle Bennett has become the most dominant AA Pro in the past month. Kicking things off last weekend with 2 Elite Pro wins in Evansville, Kyle backed it up with another 2 huge AA Pro wins at the Rock. On Saturday, Kyle won all 3 AA Pro main events, pulling every AA Pro in Rockford. Kyle had huge leads and his trademarked effortless looking riding style had all the pros scratching their heads.
