This weekends American ABA BMX National event was held in Fresno California on by far one of the best tracks in America. The track was downhill with a pro line on the 2nd straight and also on the 3rd straight. There was a moment of silence at the track on Saturday as BMX legend and Beijing Olympian Kyle Bennett #88 was laid to rest. RIP Kyle an inspiration to many!

Day one of racing I lead from the start and took the win with Brooke Crain 2nd and Danny George 3rd. Day two of racing
