Scottsdale, AZ - Bicycle World, the new television show dedicated to promoting all disciplines of bicycle riding and racing, will feature the ABA BMX Winter Nationals held recently in Phoenix. Bicycle World covered ABA’s 30th anniversary celebration as the premier sanctioning body of BMX in America. The show debuts April 7th at 11:30am and every Saturday at the same time, with the Winter Nationals BMX Show airing on April 14th. FSN Arizona will be presenting an encore of the show midweek.

In addition to replaying the quarter finals, semi finals and finals of the AA pro event – Bicycle World host Dean Henthorn interviewed legendary racer “Stompin” Stu Thomsen; potential Olympic rider ^{Danny Caluag}; current AA No. 1 plate holder Bubba Harris; and past national champion and current Olympic Program Director for BMX Mike King.

Bicycle World currently airs in Arizona and New Mexico and is expanding markets to unite bicyclists across the country. “If you want to see Bicycle World in your local area, go to our website and email your local FOX Sports affiliate,” Henthorn asks.

Contact information for your FSN affiliate - as well as prize registration - is available at Bicycle World Be sure to tell your local FSN station that Bicycle World is currently airing on FSN Arizona.

“I’m so impressed by the camaraderie and feeling of family that the ABA generates,” says Henthorn, referring how many of the past national champions came together for this event. “When you see how many of the world’s best current riders in road, mountain bike, dual slalom and biker-cross have come out of the BMX ranks, you have to stay on top of the BMX scene to see the future stars.”
