ABA Mile High and NBL Cajun Classic Nationals June 12-13, 1999

Round 12 of the ABA Pro Tour and Round 11 of the NBL Pro Tour were held this past weekend. The ABA National event was in Denver, C.O. and the NBL race was located in Baton Rouge, L.A. The ABA national was greeted by nice weather and a good track, while the riders at the NBL race faced rain and muddy conditions. They wound up only racing one day and the NBL then doubles the scores. No matter where the race, the riders were battling it out, trying to obtain the biggest one day goal in BMX, winning a AA Pro national. Here is how the Double A Marketing Pro's in attendance did:

Robert MacPherson was the MAN in Colorado. Robert skipped Santa Clara two weeks ago to rest up for the long summer stretch of races and it seemed to pay off. On Saturday Robert stood on the podium on the 2nd place spot for AA. Sunday, Robert took his results one step higher and was victorious in AA. That is no easy task and that is Robert 4th AA Pro win of the year. Robert also placed 2nd and 6th in Pro Open. Robert currently sits 2nd overall in ABA Pro points. Robert's Sponsors include Diamond Back, Answer, Crupi, ATI, Vans, Tioga, Bell, Knucklebone, Oakley, Odyssey, Powerbar, Marwi, Profile, Revenge/Champion Nutrition, Headlock, and Troy Lee Designs.

Matt Hadan was consistent as usual and was in the AA Pro mains both days as well as Pro Open on Saturday, where he scored his best finish of 2nd place. Matt finished 7th in AA both days and is well on his way to having a great season. Matt was riding a new polished Torker frameset and it shined as bright as his performance. Matt's sponsors include Torker, Crupi, ODI, Airwalk, Oakley, Redline, Tangent, Powerbar, Headlock, Araya, Troy Lee Designs, Marwi, JNCO, and Revenge/Champion Nutrition.

Randy Stumpfhauser took advantage of the rain and mud in Louisiana as he placed 3rd in AA Pro and had it count twice. He also placed 7th in Pro Open.
