FATBMX Your Online BMX News Resource Since 1998

BMX Invasion, was also on live feed, thru 98.5 WKRZ Radio! Al was on the Jeff and Amanda show earlier in the week, WKRZ brought down a prize wheel, that adults and children were all having some fun at! Everyone went home with something, and it will definitly go down as another memorable event!

The Dome Skatepark Staff were a great help,keeping the door organized and also said,everyone was well mannered and they appreciated everyone for keeping the place clean! Good job guys,thats what makes our BMX community appreciated, not hated on! Respecting your riding spot shows alot and will keep BMX alive longer!

BMX Invasion's Novice class shredded it up!! Kevin at Plains Bike Shop, who has been organzing a BMX team for some time now, and you can tell they def. did their homework for the comp. The kid's rode solid! And Congrat's to first place shredder and rider of the Plains Bike shop team, Joe Ide! Congratulations to all the riders who entered the Novice, we had alot of first timer's out there including Brandon Gouger who was reppin for BMX Invasion in the mix, finishing 11th place! Also, finishing in with a respectable 4th place, Shane Kelly, the youngest of all our competitors today came all the way from New Hampshire and also shined in his runs, he took a mean spill but he sucked it up and came back firing out his tricks! Thanks to Shane and his Pops for coming down!

We all shredded in between the runs, and then finally moved on to the Expert Class! Congratulations goes out to Todd Kiger for shredding his way into first place!! Also, congratulations goes out to the rest of the class, they all did a great job and showed the house some skills as well! The crowd was getting pumped even more, everyone raising their Monster Cans in the air, screaming for the last runs of the day! The energy stayed consistant the whole event, the crowd was still strong and the Pro riders came down and battled it out!

Congratulations goes out to our first place winner in Pro, Randy Hulseburg! Good job Randy! He had some good lines and technical tricks, mixed it up a bit in his runs, and stayed solid! John Ritchie (2nd place) pulling out the stops, and had a bobble in his first run but came back strong in his second run and was very close to nailing the top spot, but finished a respectable 1st place! Good job John! Also want to give props to, Aaron Graff who finished a respectable 3rd place, Aaron was our oldest competitor, in at 38 years old and still riding strong! He busted out the 360 no hander over the box jump and a nice tailwhip over the box along with a good flowing run, lots of cool transfers as well! Everyone else shredded it, and it was all in all a great time had by all! Big congrats to all the riders in Pro!

Riders all shook hands and were all psyched on each other at the end of the classes!
