Congratulations to all riders who attended the NBL Grand Nationals in Louisville, Kentucky over Labor Day Weekend. I can tell you that this event is something special. It was our first Grands and to see over 2,000 riders in 453 motos is something I will never forget. Westmoreland BMX was well represented with at least 12 riders. Results are up on the NBL Website.
Attending were Jessica, Joshua, and John Baker, Mark Bell, Scott Haberer, Cory Hoak, Mark Olczak, Michael Pittas, Hunter Vogan, JJ Wisneski and Corey and Cody Zell.
My hat is off to any rider that attends this event. The competition is fierce.
