Round 2 of the NBL 2007 Points season kicked off at one of the best NBL national events of each and every year, the X-Mas Classic. With one of the best venues for a BMX National event, the X-Mas Classic always has a tough and technical track built for the Pro riders with 2 Pro Strait aways and is always packed full of an international who's who of the Pro Class. Both Randy Stumpfhauser and Cristian Becerine made the trip out to Ohio, looking to add some more impressive results carrying over from the last few events each has attended. Here is how they finished up at the event:

Randy Stumpfhauser has been one of the most consistent and dominating Pros for the past few months with a slew of Elite Men’s and AA Pro wins. Coming into Columbus, Randy has had a perfect season with wins at the NBL Opener, but was unable to continue his winning streak. On Day 1, Randy finished up 5th in Elite Pro and 6th in Pro Open. On Day 2, Randy was unlucky in the Elite Pro semi and missed out on the main event. Randy looks forward to the ABA Reno National event on January 5-7th, to get back atop the podium. Randy's sponsors include GT Bicycles, Kenda, ODI, Tangent, Sun Rims, Bombshell, Fly Racing, SINZ Products, Powerbar, CTI Knee Braces, OGIO, SDG, SRAM, Easton, Cyto Sport, and BMXpros.com.

Cristian Becerine has been riding very consistent since his return mid season 2006 after his shoulder injury. Cristian is always one of the most impressive riders down the first strait and Ohio was no exception. On Day 1, Cristian was very close to a win in Pro Open, as he finished up 2nd overall. On Day 2, Cristian was in the Elite Men’s main event, where a crash and a bouncing bike kept him from a possible win and held him to a 5th for the day. Cristian looks to have another solid weekend at the ABA Opener in Reno Nevada next weekend. Cristian's Sponsors include: Free Agent, Answer, Kenda, THE Products, Sun Ringle, Shimano, Powerbar, Champion Nutrition, BMXpros.com, OGIO, and Thomson Seat Posts.
