Therefore, the portraits on our currency notes are of deceased persons whose places in history the American people know well'. Dude was the 22nd AND 24th President, appears on the $1,000 bill, and it's doubtful many American people have even heard of Grover Cleveland. Hopefully you should be so lucky as to have a Grover

The second day of racing in the UCI BMX World Championships saw the landscape of the challenger classes reshaped by several moments of high drama that saw medal contenders crash out of contention in a day of thrilling racing dominated by France, Australia and the United States in front of packed stands under overcast skies.

On October 23, leading action sports event producer ASA Entertainment (ASA) will bring the industry’s hottest BMX stars to St. College, Pennsylvania’s Bryce Jordan Center for the ASA Big Air BMX Triples (Triples). Top BMX pros of X Games fame will take on the challenge of a 195-foot long wooden course consisting of a 25-foot high drop-in ramp, two 25-foot wide jumps and a course-ending quarter-pipe, all while grabbing ‘big air’ to perform their flips, flairs, whips and spins. This head-to-head competition pits each athlete against their equally talented rivals in two-man battles, forcing them to throw down their most spectacular aerials stunts in quick succession to best their opponent and win the event title.

Athletes who have regularly competed with great success at previous Triples events have included: Brett Banasiewicz (South Bend, Ind.), the 15-year old who made history at the Augusta Triples event on June 19, where he executed the events’ first ever double front-flip and won the title; X Games 15 BMX Gold medalist and 2010

Day 3 is in the books. The weather forecast looks like rain for tomorrow as the younger riders start their racing. The track crew started to cover the final straight when I left but hopefully the weatherman is wrong. Pietermaritzberg has not seen rain in quite a while so it might be a good thing to wash all the dust out of the air as well as the ash from all the grass fires. Each day more and more elite riders appear around the track. Its a pity that riders like Mike Day and defending champ Donnie Robinson are injured but
