Nic Long, our newest addition to the Haro/Rockstar race team, and Dennis Enarson have been good friends since they were young. Dennis used to race on Nic's fathers team, back in his early years as a racer. Now as team mates once again, they both topped the podium today and made us proud as usual. This afternoon at the Dew Tour in Salt Lake City, Dennis brought home the win in the BMX Dirt Final with a 92.54. With his win, he got a ton of cash and what looks to be some custom painted wake board??
Meanwhile in San Diego, Nic was competing in the UCI Bmx Supercross World Cup. With over 150 riders entered in yesterdays time trial, only the top 64 were to qualify on to tonight's main event. Nic qualified easily into the top 64 yesterday after only needing to use 1 of his 2 attempts. Tonight, he started his night off with a 5th in the first moto, 2nd in his next moto and I believe another 2nd in his 3rd moto. From there, he breezed on through the quarter and semi finals into the main event. In the main, Nic didn't get the start he was looking for and nearly swapped the second jump. That didn't stop him though as he kept it wide open and moved up through traffic and to the front of the pack. In the last turn, the door opened for a high-low pass and Nic was gone, bringing home the overall win and a custom painted guitar from Troy Lee Designs, but not before stopping for a quick puke and rally session! Congrats boys, on your new wake boards and guitars aha.
In other news, one of our racers [Jason Rogers] got his bike stolen out of the back of the Haro truck here in San Diego on Wednesday. Today at the Dew Tour, Ryan Nyquist got his bike stolen, too! So not only are Haro Bikes topping podiums from Salt Lake to SD, they are highly desirable among thieves. Haha. Haro bikes can't be stopped!
I'm out, 8am flight to Vegas for Interbike [gun please].
