The Team ABM BMX team

TEAM ABM is a newly-established BMX team with some accomplished riders (ranging from six to 17-year-old girls and boys). The youngest rider, who can also be the most competitive, is Chloe Reeh. This will be her first year racing, and she is hoping to show the boys how it’s done. Caide and Eithan Goveia – Caide being the dare devil and Ethan being very clinical in his approach to riding – make them both well-established riders with SA Colours and titles under their belts. Georgie Grassie is a dynamite young lass who also has Colours and titles behind her name. She is also talented in numerous sports and not afraid to race the boys. Christopher Axford, a determined and passionate rider, is only in his second year of racing, but after winning the KZN Championship last year, he is hungry for an SA title. Lastly, the oldest and elite rider, Manqoba Madida, is hoping to travel to the World Champs this year, provided that enough funds are raided to assist him to represent South Africa. Most of the team members are trained by former world champion, Tyron Johns.

Team Update 26 April 2016

This past weekend our team went into the 3rd round of the Club points event of the year held at Giba Gorge. The team were geared up after a successful weekend at PMB the weekend before and were ready to dominate. With that being said, there was no holding them back. They each showed their own skill and determination to get the overall results that were a clean sweep. Chloe’ rode the pedals off her bike, growing every weekend and showing us that she is hungry for a win. She finished with a 3rd for the Day in the girls 7-8 Novice. Caide, Had a solid day of riding and was fighting for first place for most of the day. With great drive Caide secured himself a solid overall 2nd for the Day in the Boys 11 -12 Expert. Georgie, had a great day too. After literally eating dirt in practice she bounced back and stuck it out with the boys. She stood her ground and held her own, giving her a 2nd overall for the day in the boys Under 16 Expert. Girl Power! Ethan, also had a cracker of a day. Mr Clinical, went out and showed how it is done as usual. With an extremely tough class that was split into two gates, there was great competition, but Ethan finished with an outstanding 1st overall for the Day in the Boys 16 Expert. Great Job Eth. Christopher, Chris had a dominating day too. It was great to see Chris in his comfort zone and getting the job done. He took no prisoners even when they started leaning over onto him, but he still managed to secure himself a fantastic 3rd Overall in the Boys 16 Expert. Manquoba, Now this was one of the classes to watch. The top 3 were in a class of their own and our boy was up there. Mangies didn’t hold back, and didn't make a mistake once. He made wise decisions that not only kept him safe and on the bike, but also guaranteed him a 3rd overall for the Day in the Men’s Super class. All in all I am so proud of our team again this week end. Standing on the side of the track, watching them not only ride together, but Race together, cheer each other on, Congratulate each other and be there for each other.  That alone makes me proud to be Our team manager. That is what a team is.  Thank you again to our amazing sponsors. Without the great generosity our team wouldn't be where it is today. Gazebo World, For the amazing set up. It is Truly out of this world. Refreshhh! You have kept us not only looking factory with our team shirts, but Refreshhhhed over the past weeks. Thank you! Thor/Parts Unlimited, for our unbelievable kit. The amount of kit that has been given to us is amazing. And our Riders look amazing. 100% Goggles, nothing more than you are 100%. Our riders Love their goggles and wear them at any opportunity. ABM insurance brokers, without ABM we wouldn't be. Stay strong, Stay one. Stay Team ABM! Well Done guys. And keep up the good work!
