Well the week before the national things kicked off with Rennen Intense factory team putting on a BMX camp before the race, The Rennen crew are good people, and its always good to learn from some of their top riders such as A pro Allen Currier, 17-18 expert Austin loebe.,17 and over woman Courtney Applewhite,26-34 expert Pat Parker and the head guy running the show London Wilmot. With 30 riders each day at the camp, it was a success the camp started out in Bethel @ bethel Supercross and then headed over to New Paltz and finished up back at Bethel. The kids had a great time and seemed to learn a whole lot. Always have to give a big Thanks for anyone willing to help the younger riders learn how to ride like the pros. Thanks for Rennen/Intense for putting on a great camp!

The Constitution Classic started out with the Amateurs with Pros having their race later on in the evening for the Pro Spectacular. Some good racing took place in qualifying rounds and some of the top riders were doing what they do best and that is staying out front. Some Notable Amateurs were Rennen Intense’s Austin loebe having a perfect all day in the main event until he clipped out in the Main Event and ended up 4th,Day 2 Austin got in and got out and ended up Winning making up for the day 1 clip out. Mike Caldwell battled with Max Edgorf all weekend long, But Caldwell came out front both days with Edgorf going down right before the finish line battling with Caldwell. The 26-34 expert class was a good one to watch both days Lance Mcquire battled with Standards Johnny Pinnsonault and Rennen/Intense’s Nick St Lawrence, It was like a main between these three guys in motos, but Saturday in the main it was Mcquire with the win and St. Lawrence took day 2. A stand out for sure was Rennen/Intense’s Justin Knapper the kid was flying all weekend. 16 expert was a good class with the likes of  GT/Action Sports Dylan Perez, Mount Pleasants Mike Schneider and Rennen/Intense’s Victor Behm The win went to Schneider both days with Perez and Behm swapping the 2nd and 3rd both days. Look for Behm and Schneider to be battling it out with Damien Cherepko when it comes Grands time as Dylan Perez will be in the 17-18 class by then.Rennen/Intense’s Shawn Diprete flew all weekend as he put his intense out front both days. Should we call this past weekend a Rennen/Intense show case it seemed like every moto and main Rennen had a rider out front, Must be them Powerbars. Courtney Applewhite dominated 17 and over woman both days as she Eliminated the rest of her class.

3 o clock rolled around and it was time for the pros to get ready for the Autograph Session then for warm ups then the start of the Pro Spectacular at the Constitution Classic. There was some really good racing in rounds as some big names showed up for Elite Series stop number 9.

Elite Men Haro/Rockstars Nic Long made the trip from Cali as he took the win both days, Kovachi Wheels Matt Kelty was flying as he put his Alienation wheels to work to get on the podium both days. Madera’s Tyler Faoro just picked up his new sponsor OPTIMUM NUTRITION As the main event gate dropped for Elite it was Intense’s Danny Caluag who was leading the whole lap until the last straight where Haro/Rockstars Nic Long took the win. Speaking of Danny C he pulled a 2nd place day 1 and Clayborn’s Barry Nobles took a 6th day 1, and a 5th day two. Barry’s a good guy and a class act so look for him for a national title run at Grands. SE’s Javier Colombo was there and he was flying. Colombo pulled a 4th day 1 barely missing the podium, and day 2 found himself in the 6th spot, Morphine Industries Mike Kapes pulled a 7th day 1 in the stacked main event, but day two had a little bad luck as he didn’t make it to the big show. Fast PHIL DELIZIA looked good all weekend in the main event.

Super EX-  With a total of  18 riders. Coming into this race Dan’s comp Weston Pope was the man to beat sitting 2nd in the nation, Weston rode really consistent all weekend bringing home the big check both days another rider turning heads was local pro Rennen/Intense’s Allen Currier he lead his intense to a podium day 1 and a 6th day two. Jason Larev for Morphine did his job day 1 by getting a 2nd and having some bad luck in the Semi day 2. ECP’s Matt Beatty had some badluck day 1 in his semi, but redeemed himself day two by getting on the podium with a 3rd. All Tow Wrecking crew Mike Henderson pulled a 4th both days after day 2 he was 5th in his semi and had to make a good move in turn 2 to get the 4th spot. Other names that made the trip were Road Kills Danny Smith, Addison Bikes Johnny Culbreth, Champion Nofear/Intense’s Chase Campbell, Bulldog bikes AJ Bontorno, Standards Scotty McMahon, and Sun Bru’s Justin Joy

Elite Woman-We all know the name Dominique Daniels-Grand Canyon University, she has been just about unbeatable all year. Dom made the trip and put her Speed out front for two wins. Former World champ Jamie Lilly-TLD/DNA energy has been helping out at Ohio Dreams Sports Camp and it seems to be helping her as she took the 2nd spot day 1 and 4th barely missing the podium day 2. Gt’s/Action Sports Alaina Henderson was there all weekend trying to get to DD, Day 1 in the main she was going for the pass on first straight and got tangled up with Lilly and fell, she would be back for day 2 as she took the second spot. After getting Top ten in the USA’s International Pageant BMXmania’s.com Donna Snow came on up to Trumbull, was riding well all day, but went down in the main event and broke her wrist and arm we want to wish Donna a speedy recovery, Sunday since she couldn’t ride she was interviewing people for a local group that was filming the racing. Get Better Donna!

Ashley Lynch repesenting Cyclecraft looked fast both days by getting on the podium day 1 with a third, and day two with a 6th place finish Standard Army’s Allie Dragoo was in the house, As she barely missed the podium day 1 and day 2 seemed to get a little squeezed and ended with a 8th, we wish Allie the best as she will attend Marian College in Indianapolis for Cycling. GHP/Fly’s Madison Pitts look super fast as well, after getting a really good first straight in the main event day 1 she had to avoid a wreck on the first straight, but still came out with the 5 spot, day 2 Maddy put her GHP to a podium finish by getting 3rd. Congats Maddy!  Making the trip from California Pat’s bike shop’s Michelle Patterson rode well all weekend as well.

Vet Pro- In the Vet class it seemed to be a two man show the whole weekend. GT/actions sports Joey Albright was leading both days, until the last straight where ECP’S Percy Owens passed for the win at the line both days. This race was very good to watch, even in motos where they battled it out. Look for Joey and Percy to battle it out with the rest of the Vets come Grands time as they both try and go for a NBL National title. Other Vet pros were BMXmania’s.com Brian Streiby,Stampedes Chris Keller and Stampedes Matthew Silvia
