The BMX Pros Trick Team gave some of the 200,000 spectators attending the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach a taste of what action sports is all about... The team, including professional BMX riders and a skateboarder, wowed crowds with high-flying stunts, crowd interaction and non-stop action in 9 performances over 3 days.  Check out photos of the event below and check out where they'll be performing next here.

 

My name is Woody Itson and I’ve personally been involved with riding on and managing professional BMX freestyle stunt teams for more than three decades now. During that time, I have to say the partnership we have currently with WD-40 Company for the 2010 and 2011 seasons is one of the coolest deals ever.  WD-40 Company wanted to know how they could help support kids and their passion for riding bikes.  After one meeting, we all decided on a sweepstakes, with the grand prize being a brand new freestyle bike like our team riders use.  Better yet, why not give away five brand new 2011 Mirraco Velle complete bikes, the same brand of bikes that two of our current team riders, Austin Coleman and Dustin McCarty, currently ride and compete on.

We are really psyched to partner up with Mirraco Bikes on this program.  If you know anything about BMX or Freestyle, then you know the name Dave Mirra. Dave Mirra and I met in the early 80’s in his hometown when Dave first started riding freestyle.  Later on in the early 90’s I was lucky enough to sponsor Dave to ride on one of my teams.  Not long after that, Dave went on a winning streak unlike anyone had ever seen in modern day BMX freestyle competition and the rest, as they say, is history.

<****ave is not only the single most decorated Freestyle rider in X-Games history, he is also the man behind Mirraco Bikes, and the guy responsible for designing the bikes they sell.  These are the same bikes that WD-40 Company is going to be giving away for free.  You don’t have to buy anything, just enter your name and e-mail on the WD-40®/BMX Pros Sweepstakes page and hope your name is one of the lucky winners drawn in April.  That’s it!

 

WD-40 will not only help to keep your new bike from creaking and rusting, but it will also help to keep your old ride running longer and looking better.  Download a Tips and Tricks sheet with more maintenance tips, watch our video and enter the sweepstakes at bmx.wd40.com.

WD-40 is proud to sponsor the BMX Pros Trick Team, the world’s premier bicycle stunt team, and helps keep the team on the move.

Watch Woody Itson, Rob Nollie, Austin Coleman and Dustin McCarty show their stuff and explain how they keep their bikes and equipment in tip-top shape.

Hi, I’m Austin Coleman with the BMX Pros Trick Team, and I’d like to officially invite you to join the WD-40 Fan Club’s Action Sports Group! This group is a great forum for both pros and riders to get acquainted, communicate, post photos and share tips and tricks.

In the world of action sports, keeping your equipment in good shape is really important to help you ride longer, and ride better.  Since I've been 12 years old, I’ve literally used WD-40 for hundreds of things on my bike... What do you use it for?

While this group will provide updates on our friends in the BMX Pros Trick Team, we want this to be a place where guys and girls in a variety of action sports - surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding, etc. - can share photos, talk with others, and learn maintenance tips and tricks.

Thanks, and keep sprayin!
