Good Go-Round in Guthrie for A/B/M
*Breaking News*
The rumor mill is abuzz this morning (February 3) with news that Avent/Bombshell is under new ownership. Stay tuned to BMXNews.com for more on this story as it develops.Now back to our regularly-scheduled program…
The National Factory Avent/Bombshell/Maxxis team is off to a great start. Six National riders made the trip to Guthrie. In attendance were: Jarrett Kolich (AA Pro, pictured above), Mikenna Koth (12G), Desiree “Boobie Girl” Roede (14G), Wyatt “The Sheriff” Bell (6X), DJ Stephan (13X), Jon Jon “The Pink Panther” Rapp (14X).
Jarrett is off to a great start this season, taking a pair of fouth place finishes in Reno, and making both mains in Guthrie. It appears that his injuries are behind him and hes flying 110%!
On Saturday, Desiree had a crash with another rider, and, after a trip to the doc on Monday, it was discovered that she had broken a bone in her wrist. This isnt going to slow her down for the Oldsmar race, though, as she has already gotten the Dr. to agree to re-cast her. She is also bringing her bars in a bit, so her fingers will be positioned just right for racing. She is one tough cookie!
All made the main on Saturday propelling the team to a third place team sheet finish.
