A BMX surprise appearance
June 2, 2008
I got a great email from Catherine Anderson, who caught our Olympic BMX story. Here is an excerpt:
We are in the process of opening up a BMX track in Manteca. The American Bicycle Association will be coming to build it in July and we are hoping for a grand opening in August.
You may want to get in touch with my husband Jon, who is a past BMXer and placed 3rd in the World Championships. Actually, my husband was in your story. He’s the BMXer in the blue jersey racing the track old school style.
It’s a total coincidence that old video of Jon ended up in the story. In case you missed it, here is another look. Watch for Jon Anderson!
Deirdre…thank you so much! you have actually made my day! We are very excited about Bmx being in the Olympics and thank you sooo much for your great coverage of our sport and all sports going into the 2008 Olympics in Beijing!
