uRide.tv Participating in Filming the Ironman Lake Placid, ABA’s BMX Southwest Nationals and ESPN’s X Games

Big events, awesome number of participants and Olympic athletes being filmed by BikeWear World L.L.C. and uRide.tv

San Diego, CA, July 22, 2009 --(PR.com)-- “Taking this to the next level,” says Sami Tauber, CEO of BikeWear World L.L.C. “The game has been brought and we have upped the ante, going large. We will be flying to New York City, Tucson, Arizona, and Los Angeles for some serious sporting events. Bike shops are even anticipating our crews producing video commercials. Time is now and it’s hot!”

The Ironman Lake Placid is coordinated by FORD Ironman USA and is a serious race with several big titles and names participating. According to the race director, “The Ironman event is centered amidst the northern beauty of the Adirondack region, Lake Placid, which is a solid choice as host for the Triathlon. The Lake Placid course presents challenging sections on both the bike and run courses that gave last year's nearly 2,000 competitors a workout to remember. Famous champions include Thomas Hellriegel, Heather Fuhr, Melissa Spooner, Steve Larsen, and Cameron Widoff. The course is nothing short of spectacular. The swim takes place in the pristine Mirror Lake. The challenging bike course winds through the Adirondack Mountains, and is both scenic and tough - what more could a triathlete want? The run is no picnic, either, and offers up some more great scenery, along with some more challenging hills. Put it all together and you have the essence of Ironman ... a race that captures both the beauty and the challenges of the area, and the sport.” With 65 age group slots and 7 pro slots shooting for World Championships in Kona, Hawaii, this will mark an unbelievable venue.

Don't miss what will be one of the Best National Events of 2009. The BMX southwest nationals will be bringing out some serious competition to date. Several of the Olympic riders will be racing against each other and the clock for an unprecedented track ride of the year. The event will be held inside a World class facility in Tucson, Arizona. “It will be interesting to watch and catch up with all of our favorites for sure; like Phil Delizia, Dominique Daniels, and Mikey Day” says Tauber.

“ESPN celebrates an anniversary with 200 athletes for the X Games. The 15th annual action sports competition will be held in Los Angeles July 30- Aug. 2, 2009, and will feature the world's best athletes competing in: BMX Freestyle, Moto X, Skateboard and Rally Car Racing. Daniel Dhers (BMX Freestyle Park), all 15 X Games events, Two-time defending X Games BMX Freestyle Park gold medalist, Rune Glifberg (Skateboard Park, Vert), Nine-time X Games medalist and defending Skateboard Park gold medalist; Kyle Loza (Moto X Best Trick), all 15 X Games events, Two-time defending X Games Moto X Best Trick gold medalist and Moto X World Championships Best Trick champion "Travis Pastrana (Rally Car Racing), Four-time and current defending X Games Skateboard Street gold medalist, James Stewart (Super X), In 2008, Stewart was the AMA Motocross Champion with a "perfect season" - winning 24 of 24 races only the second rider in the history of the sport to do so. Stewart also won the 2009 AMA Supercross Championship. This will be the first X Games appearance for Stewart. In addition to the two new disciplines, two events have been renamed for 2009. Moto X Racing will be renamed Super X where you will see the debut of racing icon, James Stewart, compete in his first X Games. Skateboard and BMX Freestyle SuperPark will be renamed to Skateboard Park and BMX Freestyle Park where you will see Rune Glifberg and Daniel Dhers defend their titles, respectively. Glifberg is one of the few athletes who will celebrate his 15th X Games having competed in every X Games since its inception in 1995. Moto X Freestyle keeps its same name, but will assume a new jam style format that will result in quicker scoring and face-paced freestyle competition.”
