Its Spring Break in Florida and everyone knows what that means - Back-to-Back NBL National weekends at two of Florida’s finest tracks. The festivities kick off March 14-16 in West Palm Beach at Okeeheelee BMX for the Gator Nationals and then things get even hotter in the Sunshine State when the NBL National Series heads up north to the Orlando BMX track for the Easter Classic, March 21-23.

The Gator Nationals will be held at the awesome Okeeheelee BMX Track in West Palm Beach (www.okeeheeleebmx.com), and features two War-Of-The-Stars Pro events and the last two UCI Continental Series races of the season. This means that all of the US Olympic hopefuls and many of the top male and female stars from around the world will be in attendance. That’s three Pro Events in one weekend and with Olympic qualifying points on the line, the Gator Nationals will be epic. “Okeeheelee is one of my favorite tracks in the country and I’ve been looking forward to this race! – You gotta love that red clay and the track always has great flow” said NBL reigning National Champion, Kyle Bennett.

The Gator National schedule is jam-packed full of activities and contests for the whole family including a Friday Night Pennant race, the Intense Build-A-Bike Contest, the BAWLS Bunnyhop Challenge, UGP Open Series, a Pro Autograph Session, and tons of prize draws. NBL events continue to attract national media attention and once again, USA Today Live will be on-site filming for their upcoming show “Gotta Get Gold”. CBC TV from Canada will be shooting footage for their upcoming “Samantha Cools” Olympic feature and handful of national sport’s writers and local media will be buzzing about. Hey, if you just can’t make it to this year’s race, we’ve still got you covered.

A short 3-hour drive north to central Florida takes you to Orlando BMX (www.orlandobmx.com) and the NBL’s annual Easter Classic, held March 21-23. A fun-filled weekend awaits with two days of national race action and plenty more fun for the family. It’s no secret that sun-baked Orlando is a mecca for family entertainment with their endless theme and amusement parks. The Orlando BMX track has their own thrilling attraction this year – an exciting jump-filled, roller-coaster style track that will keep everyone rockin’ and rollin’. Expect another great weekend of national racing to complete the ’08 NBL Spring Break.
