NBL membership is on the rise and this year’s Bring-A-Buddy Program played a significant role in the increase. The new incentive-based prizing structure and more track support combined to make this year’s program the most successful to date with a record 10% increase in both Recruiters and Buddies. In addition to more than $40,000 in prizes, 13 lucky recruiters made the 2,000 point club and they will be recognized in BMX Today Magazine as the year’s top recruiters. Their efforts helped make this year’s program a huge success.

To reward outstanding efforts, Camp Woodward will present the Top Recruiter from each region with a free week’s pass in 2009 -

The 2008 Camp Woodward Top Recruiters are:

* West - Aiden Holt, 6 - Estrella Mtn BMX, AZ (8,600 pts)
* Midwest - Dakota Buenneke, 12 - Detweiller BMX, IL (6,800 pts)
* Northeast - Joey Lynn Henderson, 11 - Kingston Point BMX, NY (5,300 pts)
* Southeast - Sarah Gross, 12 - Cape Coral BMX, FL (2,800 pts)

The tracks were even more involved this year and all of the regions were more active than ever. Throughout the season the NBL awarded Top Recruiting Tracks monthly with complete bikes from Intense BMX and Free Agent BMX. Congratulations to all of the active tracks – you’re efforts helped grow the sport.

The Bring-A-Buddy Program has become an integral part of the NBL's grass roots programs and this year's result indicates that the sport is growing. The program is sponsored by Intense BMX, Free Agent, Camp Woodward, Kenda, UGP, THE, and Sinz Racing in association with BMX Plus! Magazine, BMX World Magazine and BMX Today. “We truly appreciate the huge effort our tracks and members made this year. Our sponsors helped make the program even more exciting and the riders enjoy getting to choose their own rewards - It's a win-win situation for everyone” said Kevin O’Brien, NBL Marketing Director.

The next program is set to launch in early 2009 in time for the school year. For more information about the program contact your local track and get ready to recruit and win! Visit the NBL website (www.nbl.org) and click your way into the Bring-A-Buddy section to see the final standings and prizes.
