Tustin, CA – September 21, 2009 – Ride BMX, the number-one BMX magazine, announced the nominees for the 13th Annual Ride BMX NORA CUP Awards presented by Fit Bike Co. today. The winners will be named during a live event on September 24, 2009, at the House of Blues, Las Vegas.
The NORA Cup Awards honor BMX’s top riders, presenting seven awards to professional BMXers in the categories of Number One Racer, Number One Flatlander, Number One Street Rider, Number One Ramp Rider, Number One Dirt Jumper, Best Video Part, and Video of the Year. The award winners are determined by polling professional BMXers.
“From Olympic medalists to the most hardcore street riders in BMX, the 2009 Ride BMX NORA Cup Awards will surely be one star-studded event that’s guaranteed to get wild and crazy.” Keith Mulligan, Editor in Chief of Ride BMX says. “NORA Cup is the one time a year where the biggest names in BMX riding and industry converge to pay respect to the best riders of the year and to celebrate the sport and lifestyle we all love. With legendary presenters and the World Premiere of Fit Bike Co.’s new video Stay Fit capping off this year’s show, it’ll be the party of the year.”
Chris Moeller, CEO of Fit Bike Co., states, “Everybody in the BMX biz is slammed trying to make ends meet on a daily basis, 12 months a year. Sure we attend events and talk about the state of things from time to time, but NORA Cup is the one place the entire industry comes together to look back on another crazy year and celebrate being in a business we all love. Even if we’re competitors on or off the bike, we’re all a part of something larger and to me that’s what NORA Cup is all about. And getting hammered.”
In addition to the awards, Ride BMX is pleased to host the world premiere of the newest Fit Bike Co. video, Stay Fit, featuring Mike Aitken, Eddie Cleveland, Chase Dehart, Edwin Delarosa, Brian Foster, Chase Hawk, Van Homan, Justin Inman, Dakota Roche, and Tom White.
