The 2009 ABA BMX racing season has been a crazy and exciting one so far this season. Almost every ABA BMX event this season has been up in rider participation and attendance. Some events have been the largest they have been in the past 10 years. The UCI events, the USAC National Championships, and the ABA BMX Nationals series events have been a who's who in the BMX racing world. We've even seen some world class dirt jumpers make the jump back to their roots and get back out on the track. Heck, even everyone's favorite BMX hero, Cru Jones has been spotted on an ABA BMX track in 2009!

Morphine Industries signs Addison Sasso to Street/Park/Dirt Crew. Addison got our attention through Morphine Industries’ Guru and Crew T.M., Marlowe Buelvas. “I have been riding with Addison for a while and have watched him shred everything in site. He needed to get hooked up with a company that would get behind his riding and help him blow-up”, tells Buelvas. “Addison has always been riding busted up bikes/parts due to his “go-for” it approach, like his 17 step bar-spin bomb drop, so I though he would be a great fit with Morphine Industries.”“We are stoked to work with Addison on new parts as we make a big push into the Street/Park/Dirt market. He is a great rider with a fearless style of riding that is evident from his recent exposure in Ride, Props 72, Banned 3 and Sunshine Sports Channel.” continues Buelvas.
“The Morphine Industries’ guys have been great and I’m juiced to be riding their parts and look forward to repping them in the streets”,
