*** FMF BMX Team Report Pasco Wa ***

Pasco, Washington -- 03/25/2006
The FMF BMX team headed to Pasco and showed
up in force. Before getting there it was starting to look
like we could be in trouble as Josh Klatman almost didn’t
go because he came down with the flu the week of Pasco.

As Thursday came his temperature broke and the Klatman’s
made the trip. Josh then went through the weekend having s
ome rough luck on his cruiser with a 7th and 8th place finish.

On the 20 inch he did a little better with a 3rd on Saturday
and 2nd on Sunday. Just wait until he has a strong and healthy
week.

Dan Bushnell was feeling pretty good until someone went
down right in front of him in practice on Saturday morning
and he went down on his ribs. He said it only hurt when he
would breath so he would hold his breath and go for it.

Saturday he came home with the win and after a close battle
on Sunday he got a 2nd place finish. A couple days later Dan
found that he has a broken rib so will be out for awhile now.

Nick Berger after missing a lot of last year due to injuries
has been coming on and looking good. Saturday he pull
off a win in Cruiser and followed that up Sunday with a 6th.

Class had some tough luck and he just missed getting into his mains.

Then with this race being up in Washington the Canada crew
made the trip to complete a good strong team. Rosemary
Adams showed up strong after missing Reno this year she
wanted to show us what we missed.

To show us she powered through with a double double.
She was out front all weekend and it is looking like she
could be the girl in the class that will be tough all year long.

Then the Mechielsen duo of Drew and Hayden completed
us and made us proud. Drew continued off where she left
off last year as she led her class all weekend.

She even got a 1st place finish on Friday in Cruiser.
Not bad for an 8 year old in the 10 and under cruiser class.

She then also got a 4th on her cruiser on Saturday and switched
to open on Sunday and won that. She also won both days in class.

Hayden had a little rougher time but
brought home a 4th both days in Cruiser.

In class he was looking good but came
up just short of the main both days.

This year the team picked up Girl Pro Cassie
Bushnell and she was looking pretty fast.

Cassie is an honor student at University of Washington
and still finds time to train and ride. She had moments
of looking real good and came home with some pro
money after finishing with a 5th on Saturday and 4th
on Sunday.

In the team competition we had the finishes but just
didn’t have the group counts for the top finishes.

We did come home with a 5th on Saturday and 4th on Sunday.

We would like to thank our sponsors FMF http://www.fmfbmx.com
and Fly Racing http://www.flyracingbmx.com It’s great to have some
of the best in bikes and parts I have ever ridden and of course looking
good with the Fly leathers and safe with the Fly 606 helmets.
