]]> 44 Tim DaSilva from Milton, Ontario was a superstar BMX racer that was bound for the Olympics one day. His passion lead him to designing and building the ultimate BMX track that he felt would take riders to a new level and play a part in the growth of the sport he loved so much.
Unfortunately, during the building of his track an accident occurred and Tim passed away while building his dream. Since then his friends and family came together and finished the track for him. The track opened up last year and was well on its way to success.

Tim died in a tragic accident while building his dream; a BMX race track; a place for children, youth and their families to enjoy, exercise, companionship and the spirit of competition. His family has taken solace in the fact that his dream had become a reality and a unique recreational facility that anyone could enjoy.

Gould fought hard to bridge to the leaders but by the second lap was alternating the front position in a small chase group of four.

For the men, the rider to watch is Mike Day. With a string of successes over the last three years including the 2005 NBL #1 Pro, 2005 UCI Worlds 2nd Place, 2006 UCI Worlds 3rd Place, and the 2007 UCI Supercross 1st Place, Mike has been on a tear leading up to Olympic qualification. The fastest rider on Olympic style tracks, Mike has won every time trial on the UCI Supercross circuit for the last year and a half. Crediting his monster speed to his longer than average legs, Mike also clocked the fastest time of any athlete on the Beijing Supercross track during last year's test races. To say he has an advantage there would be an understatement. GT BMX Race Team Manager Eric Rupe had this to say about Mike, "Hands down, Mike Day is the best rider in BMX racing today. He makes it look so easy and effortless, as if he's just play riding. Nobody can match his skill... NOBODY."

With good weather, the Dean Moor track looked well prepared and ready for qualifying. John Mitchell qualified in third place and Paul Holmes took sixth. Race one was initially red flagged after a crash blocked the track. On the restart, John took the holeshot and began to create a gap between first and second place. Paul Holmes was in fifth after the start but very quickly moved into second place with an excellent display of quick cornering and tidy riding. Half way through, he came off his quad and rejoined in fourth place. Quickly catching up, Holmes then passed Tordoff and made his way up to Winrow. As Holmes and Winrow battled for position, Tordoff passed Holmes only to be retaken on the last lap. Meanwhile, John won the race about 40 seconds ahead.

The Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Qualifying Series (WQS) 6-Star event narrowed its field down to 96 competitors today, moving one day closer to crowing this year’s 2008 Honda U.S. Open champion. The heat of the day was the high-flying shootout between ASP WQS combatants Jadson Andre (Natal, BRA) and Torrey Meister (Kona, HI), both exchanging consecutive near-perfect rides in their Round 2 clash.
 
Andre earned an impressive score of a 9.23 in the opening seconds of his Round 2 heat with a series of powerful maneuvers to get the round started. The young surfer from Brazil then followed up his excellent score with a perfect 10 out of 10 point ride for punting a massive no-grab frontside air on what looked to be a closeout wave.

But when General Motors unveiled the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Monday afternoon, it was the car's fuel economy numbers that were front and center.

It's the return of a once-popular model that has been out of production since the 2002 model year. V6 versions, which GM expects will be the biggest sellers, are expected to get 26 miles per gallon on the highway. That's about the same as a V6 Ford Mustang, while boasting the same horsepower output as a V8 Mustang.

]]> 64 Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 3 August, 2008 : - - Somewhere, Indonesia; - Bruce Irons (HAW) has defeated fellow finalist Fredrick Patacchia (HAW)  to claim the 2008 Rip Curl Pro Search in rifling four-foot (1.5 metre) lefthanders ‘somewhere’ in Indonesia. Stop No. 6 of 11 on the 2008 ASP World Tour, the Rip Curl Pro Search saw a marathon day of action capped off by a stunning barrel shootout finale between the young Hawaiians.

Irons, who took down reigning ASP World Champion Mick Fanning (AUS) and Dream Tour sophomore Ben Dunn (AUS) en route to his Finals berth, came from behind in last 10 minutes of the event, grabbing an 8.33 and a 9.33 to scalp his first ASP World Tour victory.

“One of my goals when I joined the Tour was to win an event and I wasn’t sure if it was going to happen since I’ll be stepping away after this season,” Irons said. “But the waves pumped this event! This is what the Dream Tour should be like all the time. I’m definitely stepping away from the ASP Tour at the end of this year, but I’m not retiring. I’m still planning on competing at Pipeline and Teahupoo and at venues that I can get into.”

]]> 65 BEIJING -- If we've learned anything over the past few days, it is that anything can happen at any time. It's a lesson we're supposed to pick up as kids, the first time we're blowing away a group of fifth graders in a race at recess only to trip 10 yards from the finish. The reality is, sometimes our expectations get the better of us.
 

 

As we watched the previously undefeated U.S. women's softball team step onto the silver-medal podium Thursday night, or the men's and women's 4x100 relay teams drop batons on their final handoffs, or Tyson Gay and Shawn Johnson fall short of the expectations thrust upon them before arriving in Beijing, we shouldn't have acted so surprised. Some days, David beats Goliath. Clean triumphs over dirty. Heart succeeds over strength. It is why we watch sports.
 
And it is the reason BMX will succeed at the Olympics.

No money. No Trifecta. I couldn't come up with the cash to make the trip. I wasn't too bummed. I know there will be plenty of coverage. Hell, everyones a photographer these days and BLKPRJKT is hitting up a bunch of heads for pix. Its all handled. Maybe I'll go next year. Well, since I couldn't do the Trifecta, I came up with a plan. I decided I was gonna do what I enjoy most, load up the ride with friends and go on a mini skate mission. I would choose that over covering an event any day.

I happen to know more then a few skaters that are down to mission at a moments notice. A few phone calls is all it takes. Moose and Linc were up for the challenge. This time the mission was The Central Valley. My friend Tom had been teasing me with text messages with photos of some really good pools he had going. I would get him on the phone and it would always end with "I'll come up when it gets cooler." but not this time. I told him we only had a day and we were coming in hot. He said no problem he was ready.
