Media Release -

Last weekend saw the Grand Final of the CORE Series for 2008 at Kuraby Skate Park, and with more than 100 competitors in BMX and Skateboarding, there was no shortage of action!

With another massive turnout for the last round of the We The People BMX Championships, the BMXers of QLD put on another awesome show for the crowd. In the beginner class, Steve Denny put together a great run in the finals to edge out Jack Stewart and Mitchell Jamieson. Steve used some different lines and put in plenty of technical tricks to take the win. After all the scores were added up, Jason Watts become the 2008 CORE Series Champ for beginner BMX with 2 awesome performances at the first 2 events, backed up by another finals appearance at Kuraby. For his efforts, he won himself a brand new frame thanks to We The People Bikes.

Expert BMX showed up one of the closest battles of the weekend between Dylan Radford and Keelan Troy. In the end Keelan just edged out Dylan in the final run by only 1 point! Tom Brock put together another solid display in the finals to come in 3rd for the day, and wrap up the Expert CORE Series Title. Toms consistent performances through the series, and ability to put together good Finals runs ensured he kept his points lead through the series. He also walked away with a brand new frame thanks to We The People Bikes.

The final round of Pro BMX for the series lived up to all expectations, with some of the best riding we have seen throughout the series. All the Pro riders put in some awesome runs, particularly Chris Courtney and Kyle Ballock, who both made it into the top 3. But, in the end, Nick Cooper proved unbeatable for the second event in a row. His super high energy runs, combined with unique lines and tricks is definitely a winning combination! With this 2nd win of the series, he sealed his CORE Series overall win " with a total of 28 points out of a possible 30! Congratulations to Nick who took home $500 CASH thanks to We The People Bikes. Alex Hiam ended up in 2nd place overall and took home the Runner Up prize of $250 Cash from We The People. Alex is certainly going to be one to watch in next years CORE Series " especially since he is only 13yrs old!!!!
