GHP Forms Massive Factory Team

GHP Factory Racing would like to announce it’s newest team manager and rider base effectively immediately. It is with great pleasure that we have aligned forces with Matt Zito, formerly of Factory Tabu / VZ Racing. For GHP it means having an opportunity to increase our rider base and effectively build quality frames and race products around quality racers. Having Matt in place to run the Factory Team and manage our rider base will allow the operating partners of GHP to focus on their core business. This opportunity will allow us to continue establishing grass root programs that will reach far within the BMX Community along with giving the partners of GHP time to race at select nationals. Showing not only that GHP is a company of riders, but it’s a company formed by racers and for the racers. Thanks Matt and we look forward to a great working relationship. The team is in preparation for their next race in Redmond, OR.

Matt Zito - New Team Manager for GHP Factory Racing – BIO on Matt and the others formerly w/ TABU Factory / VZ Racing.

My family and I reside in Spanish Springs, NV. - On a personal level, I am married and Zach is my only child. As a family we have started VZ Racing and have supported many racers in BMX and MX. I started racing BMX in 1979 and have been involved ever since. At this point in my life I feel more comfortable working with the riders and organizing our local track which I have helped take over last summer. BMX has been a passion of mine which I have passed on to my son and have tried to give back to the sport as much as it has given to me. With this opportunity of merging with GHP I see that I can help bring a group of talented riders as well as my knowledge and love of the sport to the team. I want the riders to worry about riding and I will make sure that they are taken care of. What I have noticed about the GHP team is that the riders are their because this is what they love and that they share this camaraderie with the team as well as the other riders they compete with. This isn't common with all teams and feel that this will make GHP standout from other teams.

VZ Racing started in 2003 as a satellite team to the Bicycle Authority Bike shop team in Northern NV. I worked with the owner of BA. (Dan Turner) to create a team that supported the local rider who was trying to get to the next level. The team is a dominant force in Northern NV. and have come to be very competitive on the National level. At the end of 2007 we teamed up with Ronnie Jordan of Pimp Biker and Tabu bikes to bring the top 6 riders of the team to the factory level. We came out strong at the ABA Silver Dollar Nationals with each of our riders making their main events. Things looked to be going strong, but production of the frames has been put on hold do to medical issues in Ronnie’s family. Talking with Rick it sounded that we could each use help and that we were both needing what each other had. This merge is a great opportunity for us and I feel that GHP is the missing link to really put Northern Nevada on the map for talented BMX racers.

Extended Line Up w/our merger of teams ..... Stephanie Baldwin/8G - Dakota Baca/11X & Cruiser - Zach Zito/12X & Cruiser - Jim Seevert/37X & Cruiser - Justin Wike/A PRO - Michael Larson/A PRO

Stephanie 2007 NAG 4- came on the local scene about 3 years ago and put fear into all of the boys in her age group. The Balwins decided to go to the grand’s and see what could come of this and now has received NAG plates for 2 years in a row.

Dakota- finished up the 2007 with a broken collarbone and has come back to make mains at Lake Perris in the very talented 11 cruiser class. He was recruited from the local team BMX RUSH because we have seen allot of speed, talent, and determination.

Zach 2007 District 2 on both bikes- Zach is a regular main maker at the nationals and has a ton of skills. Zach has been racing since 2000 and has several state titles. He is one of the little guys to first do the be jumps and technical rhythm sections.

"Hacksaw" Jim, has been making mains since the 80's - There is no one in his class that can go to a skate park, dual slalom, downhill, or dirt jump event and make a main event and compete with him. He will someday be in the history books for his all around talent.

Justin - All power and will make the main when ever he wants. One of the most successful riders to come out of Northern Nevada and match with style. He took off the 2nd half of 2007 and came out to the Silver dollars getting a 2nd Friday and MEQ on Sunday.

Michael "Mayhem" Larson - Mike has ridden for Vendetta, Sharp, and NBL team Olish Farms during the past few years. Very smooth and very fast. He turned pro this year and has made mains in Lake Perris. He is very quiet and focused. You have to see him ride to understand him.

Wallace BMX Day A Huge Success

BMX racers took to the track for free practice and free rider clinics for new racers and local bike shops made repairs to bikes for the spring/summer season.

Several tracks in Indiana ,Florida , Texas and Washington State celebrated with fun activities for the whole family.

They signed up new racers who took the free practice time and free racing in celebration of Wallace BMX Day.

Olympic Hopefuls Among Hundreds on Hand to Compete For a National Championship and Trip to Worlds

Contact: Andrea Smith (Tel.) 719.866.4666 (Mobile) 719.209.8210 (E-mail) asmith@usacycling.org (Website) www.usacycling.org

DESOTO, Texas - (March 27, 2008)--The second annual USA Cycling BMX National Championships are slated for Saturday, March 29 in Desoto, Texas. Several top hopefuls in the newest Olympic sport will compete for a national title and for points to qualify for the BMX squad that will be headed to Beijing in August. Along with the elite level stars, BMX athletes from age five and up will battle for the stars-and-stripes jersey in both the challenge and cruiser classes as well as the chance to qualify for the team that will represent the United States at the BMX World Challenge in Taiyuan, China in late May.

Several of the world's top BMX athletes are scheduled to compete, including the number-two ranked rider in the world and current USA Cycling BMX Rankings points leader, Kyle Bennett who hails from nearby Conroe, Texas. Donny Robinson (Napa, Calif.), the number-four ranked rider in the international standings, will be back to defend his 2007 national title while U.S. Olympic training center resident Mike Day (Santa Clarita, Calif.) will try to move up from his current third-place position in the USA Cycling BMX Rankings. The 2005 UCI world champion, Bubba Harris (Goodyear, Ariz.), will also be on hand as he continues his comeback, adding depth to a strong elite men's field.

On the women's side, the current USA Cycling BMX Rankings points leader, former ABA BMX World Champion and multiple-time UCI 4-cross Mountain Bike World Champion Jill Kintner (Seattle, Wash.) will be looking to continue her quest for Olympic gold, along with Pleasant Grove, Utah's Arielle Martin. Martin, the silver medalist at the 2006 UCI BMX World Championships, is in a very close second in the points chase and is ranked eighth in the world. Currently the top American woman in the 2008 UCI BMX Rankings, 18 year-old Amanda Geving (Largo, Fla.) will compete for the coveted stars-and-stripes jersey along with fellow Olympic Training Center resident and long-time BMX champion Kim Hayashi (Chandler, Ariz.).

The USA Cycling BMX National Championships is 14th of 17 women's races, and the 16th of 19 races on the men's side that factor into the 2008 USA Cycling BMX Rankings-the primary factor which determines the Olympic Long Team for the 2008 Games in Beijing.

The USA Cycling BMX National Championships also provide an opportunity for "Challenge Class" amateurs of all ages to qualify for the team that will represent the United States at the BMX World Challenge in Taiyuan, China in late May.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society ® Fighting Blood-Related Cancers - Since its inception in 1949, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® has been committed to finding cures for all blood-related cancers, but has not been able to effectively portray the breadth of its mission under a banner that emphasized a focus only on leukemia. Additionally, the Society is deeply concerned with the dramatic and unexplained rise in incidence rates of lymphoma during the last half of the 20th century. So on February 1, 2000, the Society unveiled a new name and logo. The new name, The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® , along with a tag line, Fighting Blood-Related Cancers, was crafted to clarify the diseases that the Society fights.

We`re the same organization with the same mission. But we want everyone with a connection to blood-related cancers - patients, physicians and supporters - to understand that we are committed to fighting all hematological malignancies, including leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

The Society was further moved to implement the name change by a startling rise in lymphoma incidence rates. Statistics from the National Cancer Institute show that from the mid 70s into the 90s, lymphoma rates rose by more than 70 percent, which made it the third fastest rising cancer in the country during that period. Today 454,000 Americans have lymphoma. In 1999 alone an estimated 64,000 new cases were diagnosed. New cases of non-Hodgkin`s lymphoma are rising by 1.1 percent per year while death rates are rising by 1.8 percent each year.

Unleash the G33K: BAWLS Guarana Launches G33K B33R Flavor Inspired by Fans

Miami, FL – March 24, 2008 - Introducing BAWLS Guarana G33K B33R – the first-ever high-caffeine root beer, inspired by root beer fans everywhere who want to let out their inner geek!

Yesterday’s geeks have the last laugh in today’s world, running the nation’s most successful companies, starring in blockbuster films like “Superbad” and racking up six-figure salaries as professional video gamers. Geeks have even claimed their own culture, complete with nerd-core music, geek-centered retailers and even drinks!

Founded by then college student Hoby Buppert as a class project, BAWLS Guarana is an eleven year-old soda company known for its line of high-caffeine drinks named for the “bounce” they give you. Enjoying a cult-like following among techies and students, BAWLS Guarana’s refreshing, caffeine-packed sodas are a staple at video gaming events – the company sponsors more than 1000 of them each year.

A rarity in the root beer world, G33K B33R packs a caffeine kick equal to a cup of coffee and nearly three times that of traditional sodas. Written in “Leet Speak,” a language popular among techies where letters are substituted with numbers, G33K B33R’s refreshing, root beer flavor is spiked with guarana to deliver a natural caffeine kick perfect for anyone in need of a “bounce.”

Release your inner G33K with BAWLS Guarana G33K B33R, in stores April 1^st! For more info, visit www.bawls.com.

About BAWLS

BAWLS is the brainchild of entrepreneur Hoby Buppert, CEO of Hobarama, LLC, who named the beverage for the caffeinated “bounce” the drink packs. Widely distributed to local supermarkets, convenience stores (7-Eleven, Speedway/SuperAmerica), Target, Microcenter stores and gaming venues; BAWLS is a premium, non-alcoholic, carbonated beverage made from the guarana berry harvested in the Amazonian Rainforest. The caffeine found in BAWLS Guarana contains the same amount of caffeine as coffee and nearly three times that of traditional sodas due to a naturally occurring form of the stimulant found in the guarana berry. BAWLS’ unique refreshing flavor tastes like a citrus infused cream soda and its popularity continues to grow among caffeine-deprived, refreshment-seeking techies, students, professionals and athletes in need of a Bounce.
