ABA Race of Champions, Tulsa, OK
Factory Pryme comes up big when it counts; winning one of the biggest races of the year. We are the 2008 ABA ROC Factory Champions. Amy McYntire scores a 4th in open and a 3rd in class. Doc nabs the third spot after snagging the holeshot, but he bonked the first double in the second straight. The dude is 52 and still boosting doubles. He wins in my book. Cody McArthur is 6th in 13 Cruiser, while little bro, Kyle, scores the third in 10 Cruiser. Wonder Twin, Bridget Walter, is second in cruiser and 5th in class. Wrap it up with Kim Vanderpas with a 4th in cruiser. All in all, the best way to cap off a great year. Way to go team!

ABA MidAmerica Nationals, Blue Springs, MO
The Pryme team had a great race weekend in Blue Springs. They just keep getting better and better. Amy McIntyre (USAC Champ) kicked things off with two wins in mixed open. Doc sat out Saturday with a bum wing, but couldn't resist racing and taking the win on Sunday. Welcome back Joel House!! Whatever he did to win cruiser on Sunday (and a 3rd in class) we hope he does it again at the next race.Tiva Feltman is back and despite a birthday took two seconds in 15 girls. Kyle McArthur was the man in 10X; a second and third with good rider count went a long way towards the team sheet. Bridget Walter was all-podium all weekend long; including a season's best second in class. Kim Vanderpas finally had her own class and showed that she is one of the best; two thirds. Preston Barley, Cody McArthur, Ryan Macdonald, and Marc McArthur
all made it to some mains in the super stacked expert classes.

USAC National Championships & ABA Super Nationals, Desoto, TX
The second annual USAC National Championships and ABA Super Nationals were held this past weekend in Desoto, TX. The Factory Pryme team was in attendance and had a great weekend.
Amy McIntyre took home the USAC National title for 12 and under girl cruiser. She also took care of business at the nationals, making all six mains despite an all NAG moto in class. Doc Graham, with a bum shoulder, pulled off two wins in 51-55 cruiser.
Bridget would have won both days if it weren't for a pesky little thing like having her stem crack going into the first turn while winning Friday's main. A new stem equaled a win on Sunday. Preston Barley has arrived; two seconds in the ultra tough 9X class. Kyle McArthur was right there, too, with a third and fourth in 10X.
Ryan Macdonald was in the 14X main both days as was Marc McArthur in 7X. Joel "Candy Pants" House found his way to three mains. The recent birthday boy, Cody McArthur, struggled, but he'll be back on top really soon. Tiva Feltman came back from injury, testing herself on Sunday; and making the 14 girls main in the process.
As soon as Kim Vanderpas gets a class of her own she'll own it, still managing a fourth racing the young ones. John Powell (31-35 cruiser) made his return to BMX a good one with mains on Friday and at the USAC race. Great to see you back, John.

ABA Cornhusker Nationals, Kearney, NE
The Pryme factory team was in force at this past weekend's ABA Cornhusker
National in Kearney, NE. Overall for the weekend we had 29 main events and
18 podiums (top 3 finish). That is just plain awesome! Highlights include
Amy McIntyre owning the open class and Doc ruling over the distinguished
(older) cruiser dudes. Welcome back to Joel "Candy Pants" House, scoring
four out of four mains, including a second in cruiser on Sunday. Bridget
Walter was all podium all weekend in class and cruiser. Joel, Ryan
Macdonald, Cody McArthur, Kyle McArthur, and Preston Barley all had between
21 and 27 riders in class, so just making the mains was quite an
achievement. Preston finished third in open as well as two class mains.
Cody knocked out a second and third in cruiser while younger brother, Kyle,
took two thirds and two fourths in class and cruiser. As it was, Pryme
finished in the money both days with two fourth place finishes. The next
stop for the team is the ABA's Super National in Desoto, TX (also the USAC
National Championships), March 28-30.

ABA Sooner Nationals, Guthrie, OK
Amy McIntyre double-doubled, winning open and class both days; INCREDIBLE!!
Bridget Walter also spent some time on the top of the podium, winning
cruiser on Saturday. Bridget also took a 3rd on Sunday and a 5th and 3rd in
class, also. Doc wasn't feeling good, still recovering from his shoulder
injury, but he still managed a 2nd in cruiser on Saturday. Our other new
rider, Tiva Feltman, continues to podium in 14 girls, with a 2nd and 3rd for
the weekend. Preston Barley, coming off of his Grands main, made three out
of four in Guthrie. Preston made open both days (4th and 3rd), as well as
taking a 4th in expert on Saturday. He'll be back, making both mains in
Desoto. The McArthur boys were ten for ten when it comes to making mains.
Kyle's best was a 4th in class, and so was Cody's. Little Marc who just
turned expert made both of his 7X mains, taking an 8th and a 5th on the
weekends; good things to come.

Our newest recruit started her season off with a bang. Tiva Feltman rocked
her Pryme gear to two second place finishes. Not only was that an
accomplishment in itself, but did I mention that she was racing two ages up?
Holy Cow!! We definitely picked a winner in Tiva.
Flyin' Ryan Macdonald also went to Florida. Ryan continues to climb his way
to the top of the ladder; building on his success from last year. Ryan
rolled into Florida on a new frame setup and rolled out with a fourth and
fifth place finish in the always competitive 14X class.
14 January 2008
New recruit Amy McIntyre went to Reno to represent factory Pryme.
She came away with a 2nd and 3rd in class, a 3rd and 6th in mixed open, and a 6th in cruiser.
That sounds like a great way to start the year.
