Silver Dollar Nationals

Nothing beats the end of silly season and the beginning of a new chase for the No.1 titles.

- 

The USA BMX season opener never disappoints and Saturday’s 304 motos was evidence that folks are ready to race in 2017, in a BIG way.

This race also marked the first time in a long time that AA-pros are able to race at non Pro Series events. The new Pro Open class will be available at every round of the USA BMX National series outside of those designated as such. Every Pro class was represented with Keely Kortman holding it down for the Women, Vet Pro Champ Cristian Becerine representing the elder statesmen, the AA trio of Nic Long, Tyler Brown and Jacob Peebles and of course the A Pro’s.

On Day one Nic Long came in with a vengeance and dominated the one lap main event. Dr. Holeshot Becerine looked as if he would get to turn one before the Olympian but tucked in safely for the two. Tyler Brown nabbed the three aboard his new DK Elite frame. On day two Long would again take the top honors. JET Racing honcho Jacob Peebles finished in the two slot and Supercross’ Mike Swearingen took home third place honors.

The Shriver sisters got right down to business on Saturday in Mixed Open a fired off three wins in a row for their new team Throdwn. If you haven’t heard, Jim Buchanan’s team and SSquared parted ways at the conclusion of the 2016 Grands.
