In about 30 days the BMX world will converge on a brand new venue for the 2008 edition of the Great Northwest Nationals. The event, presented by Team BMX Oregon and the Oregon Sports Authority, will be held at the Hooker Creek Event Center in Redmond, Oregon April 4-6, 2008.

This entire facility is spectacular and the arena will be one of the best ABA will visit all year. The Hooker Creek Event Center, a multi-purpose indoor arena, is the largest of the buildings at the Fairgrounds that constitutes some 279,000 square feet of space under one roof. The space will allow for a great track with tons of bleacher seating.

Also, during practice on Saturday ABA will host the 2007 ABA Canadian National Series Awards Ceremony! Here is more exciting information about the event:
