Team USA and the RiderDown Foundation - “BIG Winners at MX of Nations 2010”!

Lakewood,
CO (Sept 24-26, 2010): 
RedBull FIM 2010 MX of Nations, Thunder Valley Motocross Park -
The racing was exciting, the best of the best were there, the crowds
were huge and Team USA did not disappoint. The excitement
continued all weekend in between the racing.  The fans swarmed
the pits and vendor areas with one of the more popular attractions
being the RiderDown Foundation tent.  Here, a dozen volunteers
were manning the booths on a number of fronts.   

 A
big winner with riders and race fans alike at RiderDown’s booth was
the Concept
2
rowing challenge. One of Concept 2’s popular rowing machines was
signed by Team USA and decked out in Team USA graphics produced by
139designs.com. Fans
competed to see who could get the fastest 500 meter time. Winners
received generous gift certificates from S.I.C.A.S.S. 
Racing
and their choice of RiderDown gear. In addition, all participants
received a gift for their efforts.

Ron
Rennke
of Grand Junction, CO supplied a beautifully restored 1982 KTM 495
for a silent auction. Legends like Donnie
Hanson,
Gary
Bailey,
Danny
LaPorte
and Chuck
Sun
stopped by to check it out and sign this iconic KTM.  The winner
of the bike was Doug
Williams
of Las Vegas, NV. 

Certified
Chiropractic Sports Practitioner, Sarah
Schmidt,
of Evergreen, CO donated her time and expertise. The on-going line
of race fans needing that sore shoulder, back or neck adjusted became
a testament to her healing touch.  

Thunder
Valley and David Clabaugh
were big supporters of RiderDown as well.  As the track owner,
David has been a very dedicated RiderDown supporter ever since the
first Outdoor National held at his track in CO.  He has always
made it a point to make sure there was a place for RiderDown at all
of his events and this year they went a step further.  The crew
held their own silent auction with autographed race gear and event
souvenirs from competitors around the world to benefit RDF.  During
the opening ceremony a check for $1000 was presented to the RiderDown
Foundation.

About
RiderDown Foundation:
With a nationwide network of volunteers ready to lend support and
assistance to injured riders, RiderDown is actively giving back to
the amateur off road community. As a non-profit, 501(c)3 charitable
organization, RiderDown has been delivering on its mission of
“Helping Riders Up” since 2005. Dedicated to helping responsible
off-road motorcyclists and ATV racers who have been injured, proceeds

unnecessary medical charges.  RiderDown Angels visit injured
riders in the hospital and at home, offering a friendly voice during
difficult times.  To find out more about RiderDown and ways you
