TORONTO BMX JAM: BEZANSON 1st & BANASIEWICZ 3rd

If you were anywhere on the internet Sunday & Monday you've seen the insane footage of Drew killing it on the Toronto BMX Jam course. DK's Drew Bezanson with 1st place,  Daniel Sandoval 2nd, and DK's Brett Banasiewicz for 3rd.  Congrats to these guys for shredding in Toronoto. 

Some words from Drew:
"Last weekend was the annual Toronto BMX jam. 70 plus Pros came out and the ramps were better quality from years in the past. I ended up having a great weekend. I loved the course so I just rode and did the stuff I wanted to do. Keep the fun aspect in it and I ended up Qualifying 1st, finishing 1st and won Best trick. The weekend couldn't have gone any better and it was all in the name of fun. "

There are tons of awesome clips and edits from the weekend floating around: here are a couple highlights.

DK & BOX COMPONENTS TEAMS UP / MARC WILLERS ON DK

Last week, the staffs of Cycle Group Inc. (CGI) and DK Bicycles spent the day in a rented meeting room in Fullerton finalizing the details of a one-year deal that makes DK the official frame sponsor of Marc Willers and the BOX Components Test Team.

 

Negotiations with DK started last year, when the company was among a half dozen frame suppliers that approached CGI about sponsorship.

 

“We’re excited and really looking forward to working with DK. The company has a long history in BMX going back to 1979 and a very strong presence in the sport,” said Toby Henderson, CGI’s founder.

 

“We were very fortunate to get several offers to sponsor Marc and BOX Components. But in DK we found a strategic partner not only willing, but ready to work with BOX Components as we develop new and innovative BMX products,” he added.

 

The day after Toby and Bill Danishek, DK Bicycles’ director, agreed in good faith to work together, DK product managers started the process to build Marc a frame.

 

“All of us are really excited about all the possibilities of working with BOX Components. Toby’s successes as a product designer and innovator are a big part of why we wanted to team up with the brand. It’s also great to have a rider like Marc Willers on a DK frame. We’re looking forward to a long-term relationship,” Bill said.

 

As it turns out, both companies were on the same product development path. DK began working on a 20-millimeter frame last fall. With BOX, Toby plans to continue developing 20-mil BMX components, which he successfully introduced

some 18 months ago. Marc Willers won the 2011 ABA National Number 1 Pro title, 10 ABA Nationals and two Supercross races using Toby’s 20-mil products.

 

Coincidentally, Marc’s good friend and fellow New Zealander Corey Stafford is DK’s rep in Australia. It was him who urged DK to develop 20-mil frames and components. The deal means DK can focus on building frames and bikes while BOX supplies the 20-mil parts.

 

“We’re working on a lot of new products and technologies for BMX. We’re very lucky to have a partner like DK that is willing to work with us as we develop our line,” Toby said.

BOX Components also will provide support to the members of DK’s factory team, including Barry Nobles and Tommy Zula, whenever possible.

Marc and the BOX Components team’s other sponsors include Promax, Fly Racing and ODI.

Welcome To The Team: Barry Nobles

Time for big news: DK is proud to announce a new member of the Pro team.

With tons of buzz & talk on the forums, there has been a handful of speculation that Barry Nobles might be riding for DK. The rumors are true. Barry Nobles has found a new home with DK Bicycles in 2012.

 

“I can’t think of another rider who is a more appropriate pick for the DK race team. Barry reminds me of the good ol’ days when Robbie Miranda and Neal Wood ruled the tracks and trails everywhere. He has the best attitude, tons of moto style, and has always done a really great job representing his sponsors.  DK is more of a family than a team, so when a new rider comes aboard it's usually for the continuation of their career. I’m proud to welcome Barry Nobles to the DK family.” – Trevor Gay, Marketing Manager/TM, DK Bicycles

With DK making its way back into racing, you can expect some more heavy drops coming throughout the year. Look for Barry in the DK pits repping Black & Green this year.

Ronnie Dugdell storms home to win Queensland State Titles...

DK factory rider Ronnie Dugdell has put the last 18 months of injuries behind him to claim the #1 spot in the heavily contested Elite Men’s field at the Queensland State titles held over the weekend in sunny Bundaberg, after having numerous operations on his elbow and also a broken collar bone Ronnie has been putting in big efforts to be back at the top of his game.

 

With Ronnie looking relaxed in the pits pumping tunes thru his Skullcandy UPROCK headphones and sipping back on Bioflex Recovery it was time to get the main show on the road.

 

When the gate dropped it was a two horse race between Ronnie Dugdell and Joel Clark, with Joel having the inside line coming into the corner he come out first and held Ronnie high on the berm , and with that Darryn Goodwin slotted into 3^rd, Ronnie made a dive into turn 2  but Joel still had the advantage heading down the 3^rd straight, this is where Ronnie made his move carrying a lot of speed thru turn 3 and running Joel down in what would have been the closest finishes in some time. When the dust had settled it was Ronnie who had won by a fraction of a second to claim the number 1 spot.

 

In other news from the state titles DK rider Cherie Simpson finished 4^th in Elite Woman, Mitch Hoad (12 boys) and Team Manager Corey Stafford (30+elite masters) both made finals but had big crashes finishing at the back of the pack.

Team Rider Blake Moore Race Report....Penrith Super Nats

 Penrith Open Supernats!!!!!

On the 3rd September the Penrith Panthers bmx club put on a huge event last night. Racing started at around 4 as they recently installed lights to their track, it was the perfect race meeting to test them out, along with fire works after the finals.

The pro open field was stacked with some really fast riders from around NSW. In my motos I got a 3rd, 4th and a 3rd.

I also raced my age class winning all motos and the final.

It was now semi-final time and from what I can remember it was, Luke Madill, Tom Hubert, myself, DK Team Member Dan Willis, Micheal Jobson, Ian lancaster, Micheal Young and Nathan Harlow in order crossing the line. I was really happy with how i rode up towards the finals.

Before the Finals the local Penrith cheer group put on a show in the middle of track, and they were pretty good.

It was a long wait to the final as we were at the end. In the final was Luke Madill, Tom Hubert, Dan Willis, Myself, Ian Docherty, Alex Lloyd, Leigh Darrel and Jordan Lecher. I had a pretty good gate from lane 6 sitting in around 5-6 down the first straight, then i got a little shut down by Ian docherty and DK Team Mate Dan Willis that forced me to be spat out the back, i had a really good run down the second straight and went in 7 but my third straight was pretty sketchy after being held out by Leigh Darrel. It wasnt the best lap but Luke Madill just got the win followed by Tom Hubert, Ian docherty, Alex Lloyd, Dan Willis, Leigh Darrel, Myself and Jordan Lecher. All in all it was a good event and some really good racing.

Id just like to thank DK Bicycles Australia, Loosekid industries, Skullcandy Australia, Goodlife Health Clubs, and Bioflex Nutrition.

Anthony Dean's Latest blog...

.............................................................................................

Anthony Dean Blog from the UCI Supercross in London...

After a long awaited week and the big build up, the Olympic test event has finally arrived. Riders had the chance to walk the track and all I can say is its massive, from corner jumps to hips to a box jump. The track is by far the most intimidating yet. Group A practice were up first with all the top dogs set to test out the fresh built Olympic track, I was looking forward to putting my new DK professional to the test. 

 

Practice went well for all, not to many crashes and in all the track flows quite well. For myself I felt great out there a little nervous at the start but as practice went on I felt more and more confident and comfortable on the new bike. Love it. Tomorrow is another 40 min practice session and then the Time Trials begin. Be sure to check back tomorrow and I will have an update to let you all now how it went. 

 

Thanks for reading, 

 

Anthony
