Gilbert, Arizona—August 5, 2008— The ABA (American Bicycle Association) announced today that voting has commenced for the 2008 ABA BMX “Hall of Fame”. Each year since 1985, a select group of BMX (Bicycle Motocross) riders and/or industry veterans have been nominated. Once again this year the ABA BMX “Hall of Fame” committee has chosen the nominees from “Early BMX Pioneers”, “BMX Racers” and “Industry Members”.
The ABA BMX “Hall of Fame” is the who’s who of BMX and it consists of riders and industry members who have made notable contributions to the sport. Although the voting is open to the public, nominations are done by committee. To be honored by the committee and be added to the ballot is important, but the public chooses the final winners.
This year marks a change in voting as the ballots will be available online at www.ababmx.com. The voting will be available to the public from August 5th through September 5th, 2008. Voting is restricted to one vote per person and you must leave an e-mail address for your vote to count.
