Psykopath Road Trip Concludes

July 20, 2006 by BMXNEWS.COM Editors 

“Yep thats right after 44 days on the road Psykopath team rider Nick Valencia and his crew of pros and ams are now back in the bay area. The trip covered all races from UCI NBL and ABA events from Evansville, IN all the way through ABA Vegas this past weekend. Trip riders included Donald Goodwin (A Pro), Alan Hudson (A Pro), Chris Gaal (17-18x), and TM Nick Valencia (22x). Check out www.psykopath.com for the complete write up and entire story including more footage and video downloads.”"The trip started well and ended on a great note for one of the most accomplished riders in BMX, Terry T aka MR. T started off the trip with a good weekend in Evansville In, snagging a double with a win in masters and 30&0ver open wheels. To finish out the trip Terry showed up in Vegas to show that the days of Flat pedals and good results are definitely not over. Nor Cal pull was in full effect as Mr T proceeded to win his semi main with classic style in the turns that will bring back memories of the 80s. Terry carried that semi momentum into the first main with a good start and a 2nd place finish. Consistency paid off and landed him 3rd on the podium. Not bad when you factor in that T is a solid 37 years of age and against the likes of riders less than half his age. Sergio, Alan, a bunch of guys are in their teens and will likely be glad to have had the opportunity to have ridden against a legend. Terrys next race will be Utah ABA and hes staying tuned up for NBL Grands where he will be in the points chase for a #1 plate. Special thanks goes out to all the families and riders that helped us out on the road trip in different states. We slept on a lot of floors and ate a lot of meals and without those riders/families stepping up the trip would have been a lot harder. Jeremy and the trail guys in Illinois, The family from The Hill BMX, NOR CALS Finest Paul Holland for the support in Vegas, and anybody who I may have forgotten. We as a team thank you for helping to make the trip possible. Not to end on a bummer note but in the 2nd main in Vegas Alan Hotpants Hudson took a tough fall that couldnt be avoided and unfortunately sustained a little bit of damage to one of his kidneys. He is doing a lot better already and should be home by the time you read this. If youd like to contact Alan and wish him a speedy recovery feel free to do so via psykopath_industries@yahoo.com and well get it over to him. Thats all the latest from Psykopath and Utah will be our next race so see ya”
