“Each year we somehow outdo the previous year’s event, and this year’s NORA Cup will continue that tradition. It’s going to go off,” ex
claimed Keith Mulligan, Editor in Chief of Transworld Ride BMX. “For 2008 we added Video of the Year as a new category and it’s already got the message boards talking. Add Stephen Murray as a presenter, a few other (secret) legends to hand out the Cups, DJ Greyboy, and the premiere of the Levi’s video, and it’s going to be a night to remember.” The 12th Annual Transworld Ride BMX NORA Cup Awards is proud to be presented by LEVI’S® and sponsored by DC Shoes and Red Bull.
