Team ABM geared up for Nationals
The entire ABM team are aiming to qualify for World Champs in the USA next year.
TEAM ABM, a newly-established team with some accomplished riders (ranging from six to 17-year-old girls and boys) will be participating in the Nationals BMX championships at the Lahee Park BMX track on Saturday, 2 and Sunday, 3 April.
The youngest rider, who can also be the most competitive, is Chloe Reeh. This weekend marks her first national competition and 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.
“Being an Olympic hopeful for 2020, we know he will do South Africa proud. Manqoba, Ethan and Georgie all represented South Africa last year in Belgium and the entire ABM team is aiming to qualify for World Champs in the USA next year. Most of our team members are trained by former world champion, Tyron Johns,” said Jenna Reeh of Team ABM.
