ABA Super Nationals and NBL Daytona Speedway Nationals
April 15-16

This weekend marked a major decision for many pros, as there was an ABA and NBL national going on. The ABA Super Nationals in Desoto, TX was a TV race, while the NBL National in Daytona, FL was the first of two back to back Florida races. Either way there was some great racing and an almost even split of 20 pros at each race. Here is how the Double A Marketing pros finished up in the main events:

ABA Super Nationals

This season, there has been one pro's name on race fans' lips: Wade Bootes. Wade has made a major change in his life by moving to California, and by winning a lot of BMX races. Up till Desoto, Bootes had raced 6 ABA AA pro nationals and won 5, and after Saturday he has won 6 AA mains. Bootes was on fire, and the TV cameras were there to film it. Wade only lost one moto all day and it was the second main. Chalk Bootes up for a 1st in AA and 1st in Pro Open. On Sunday, Wade only raced AA, and finished up 3rd overall. Wade's sponsors include Trek/Volkswagen, Oneal, THE, ATI, Oakley, Answer, Vans, KMC, Profile, Wellgo, Bontrager, Crupi, Kovachi, Powerbar, Marwi, Head Lock, and Maxxis.

Jamie Staff has a turn around season, as he is currently leading AA pro points in the ABA. Jamie has always been a great rider, but this season, things seem to be clicking and he's a top contender.
