I can't believe the Grands are next weekend. We have a bunch of Utah riders that are in NAG contention. Let's bring home the 7 foot trophies. I believe we have 5 Utah riders that are tied for NAG 1 and the only thing separating them from being on top of the charts is rider count. Good luck to everyone.

BEST OF LUCK to all of you making the trip.
I'll be in Vegas coaching my Lady Utes (volleyball) in the Mountain West Championship tourney. We leave Tues and get home Sunday. I'll try and tune in the forums, and the aba to get some info on the finishes.
Brandon Smith- Go for it man! You've had a great year! Good luck at the big dance! Thanks for keeping the class respectable!

Good luck to all heading to OK this weekend!
We have a very very good chance of bringing home quite a few NAG plates to Utah.

Good luck to all heading out there.
I'm betting on Utah getting 13 NAG top ten's this year???

Alvey - I think you are right! I think we have high odds of hitting 12 - 15 NAG plates in Utah this year!
I also think that Jordan, Brandon, Heather, Mike K., and Bennett are listed in the top 50 for the national rankings in ALL age groups combined.
This should be one pumped Utah event!

I so wish I could be there!
Good thing there will be a LIVE webcast! I saw an AWESOME quote by Lee Geddings over on Vintage that went something like this...
If you finish 2nd, it's probably a Utah BMXer in front of you.

Jason-
Where can I view the Grands live? I use a Mac, with flip4mac media to correct the worlds WMV problem. Do you have to pay to watch it streaming?
Cheers!

There is a link to their site on the front page, or you can click here:

The ABA might also post a more specific link directly to the webcast, but I dont' see anything yet.

I caught the motos for Brandon Smith and Heather Allred. Both we're killing the comp, winning their motos by 4-5 bike lengths. NICE!!
I think Mitch Ropelato qualified in his 1st moto also....

IT guys don't let IT guys' parents have slow internet
The webcast has been in and out for me all morning. When it's on, it's great. The multiple camera setup is really nice, though it gets tough when 3 motos are on the track at the same time.

There aren't a whole lot of options here in Central Utah... I've only been hassling my Dad for a few years to upgrade from their 128k DSL. They now have "512k"--speed tests got a consistent 441k from SpeakEasy's tester.
Still WAY too slow!
Sorry, I'll help derail ANY conversation and turn it into a geek conversation.

It's hard to tell on the broadcast, but I think Rope, B Smith, and Mike Kelly all took 2nd in cruisers. I think Anna Newkirk took 3rd or 4th. I'm sure there will be some official results posted soon.
Heather Allred just won girls cruiser.
