Happy New Year
Hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year. Pretty mellow here. Relaxed at home, went to Disney Land with the Murrays, which was fun. Rode my road bike a lot, which has been a nice way to keep in some kind of shape. It's pretty crazy, I have not touched my BMX since the NBL Grands. So I guess it's the longest time in 25 years I've not ridden BMX, and to be honest I'm not really missing the actual racing part. I'm enjoying it a lot more as a fan from the sidelines, alongside supporting the Team as best I can at the events.
I did just get our 2010 frame so I guess it's time to build it up and have a play around.
2009 was a great year for Free Agent, we really started pointing in the right direction, the guys in house are super stoked on the program and we just got the green light to do more in 2010, which I'm stoked about.
I think with Maris coming in, Cristian and Kyle really stepped it up as well. Cristian had another great year with some big wins and I think Kyle has just proved once again how good he really is, winning the last 4 major races in a row, which included the Grands!
We're changing the Teams around a little for 2010. We will have the main US based Team and then on a separate deal an International Team as well. Full line up and sponsors should be all confirmed in the next few weeks. I'm pretty stoked with what we have got going for the year.
AA/Elite racing is as deep as ever right now. The Olympic vibe for London has already started. TV is back for 2010 thanks to the ABA and I'm really looking forward to the season ahead.
Some old Old/New Pics I got on Face Book.
