Post has the most for third straight BMX title
Make it three straight elite supercross national titles for Olympian Alise Post (Saint Cloud, Minn./Redline) after she dominated the women's competition on Saturday at the 2013 USA Cycling Elite BMX National Championships in southern California. Fellow 2012 Olympian Nic Long (Lakeside, Calif./Haro Bikes) captured his second national championship and first since 2010 in the men's elite field. After winning all three motos as well as the semifinals, Post held off a hard-charging Arielle Martin (Spanaway, Wash./Intense BMX) in the final to claim victory.
"Today was a lot of fun," said Post. "It was good racing, all the girls were on point. For me it just felt really great to win three in a row. It's a great accomplishment. On top of that, I made my momma proud. She's been watching from home and wasn't able to make it, being in the hospital. I'm happy to have won for her."

SCOTTY CRANMER BAGS BRONZE IN BMX PARK
Monster Energy congratulates team rider Scotty Cranmer on his bronze today in BMX Freestyle Park at X Games Barcelona 2013. It’s the seventh career X Games medal for the 26 year old from New Jersey. Today’s BMX Park final event saw the top riders battling through their heats with the top six riders advancing to the final, which was set up as an 18-minute jam-style format. The top two runs for each rider counted towards their final score.
“I had to battle not only other competitors, but also the elements – it started to rain just as I started one of my runs and huge gusts of wind kept me from doing my big tricks,” said Cranmer. “It was an honor to share the podium with those guys who I’ve looked up to, and I’m happy to bring a medal home for Monster Energy.”
