Olympiad Champion; Nicholas Romano is the 50cc overall Jr. Olympiad
Check this out … Kids on Cobras won EVERY 50cc moto @ the Mini Os this year!!!

continued its impressive reign on the Mini Os as Cobra Moto again swept
top honors across the board in the Jr. & Sr.
classes, with two Cobra racers earning the coveted “Olympiad” honors
for their efforts in the MX, SX and Open races.
Beginning with the Sr. 50cc class at the 41st
running of the Thor Winter National Olympics, presented by Pro Circuit
at Gatorback Cycle Park (Fla.), Cobra’s King 50 – the bike that changed
the course of minicycle racing here
in the States nearly 20 years ago – was raced to championships in the
SX class by California’s
Jett Reynolds and in the MX class by Georgia’s Gage Linville. In addition, Virginia’s
Nathan Merricks would race to a 1st place
finish in the 50cc Open SX class, while Reynolds dazzled everybody with
is speed & style in winning the 50cc Sr. MX Open class. And with
that effort Reynolds was crowd this year’s 50cc Sr. Olympiad
title winner!
“Jett had a spectacular weekend at Gatorback,” said Sean Hilbert, President of Cobra Moto. “He’s the real deal.”
Some other new names putting up solid numbers at the 41st Mini Os for Cobra Moto include: Tommy Leclere, Thomas Welch, Mason Naecker and Brock Bennett.
The little guys on the Cobra 50JR bikes were led by New York’s
Nicholas Romano, who swept both the Mini Os’ SX and MX titles and
was awarded the coveted Olympiad title in his division. Fans also got
to see a number of Cobra racers move up from the Jr. division to race in
the Sr. division. Those kids included:
Ryder Di Francesco, Romano, Johnny Weber and Gregory Stewart.
Finally, in the 65cc division – where the new 2013
Cobra CX65 was getting rave reviews at the race – Cobra got an
outstanding performance from local Floridian
Tommy “TJ” Rios who placed 2nd overall in both the 10-11 65cc MX and SX divisions. Georgia’s
Jeremy Seabolt also raced well in the SX Modified division, placing 5th overall.
“Tommy was easily our most improved racer of the
year,” said Hilbert of the longtime Cobra rider Rios. “He rode
brilliantly all week and everyone at Cobra wishes him the best of luck
as he now moves up to the 85cc class.”
Up now for Cobra: This concludes the 2012
competition season for Cobra Moto. We look forward to seeing everyone in
March for the opening of the 2013 amateur national MX season. Enjoy the
holidays and hit the school books just as
hard as your practice track!

REPLAY XD®720: THE SMALLEST EASIEST WAY TO REPLAY IT
Courtesy of
Replay XD
Newbury Park, Calif. – Capturing action-packed, crystal-clear HD Video is now easier and more affordable than ever, thanks to the new Replay XD720. Less than a year after launching the world’s smallest and lightest HD Action Sports Camera, the XD1080, the engineers at RePlay XD® have created a new, smaller, lighter camera packed with features and an easy-to-use consumer-friendly interface – all at a price that provides tremendous value.
The XD720 captures color rich 720P HD at 30/60 frames per second for high-speed action. The system packs a crystal clear non-fisheye, non-distorted 120 degree field of view lens and 5-megapixel image sensor. The sleek two ounce camera is about the size of a tube of lip balm and features a water-resistant, rugged aluminum housing that can withstand everything from extreme sports to hardcore motorsports and is packed with pro-level audio, external audio line-in and is compatible with virtually all the RePlay XD Pro level mounts and accessories.
In addition to the camera's best-in-class onboard mic, the Replay
XD720 also has a secondary audio input that allows users to feed audio
from their own source such as race radios, LAV mics iPods and more.
Filmmakers can mic their subjects for crystal clear audio in every
scenario. The camera records up to 130 minutes of video on a single
charge of its internal Li-Ion battery. It includes a 4GB micro SD card
and supports up to 32GB cards. The system remembers and holds settings,
even when the battery runs down. and a “Quick-Clip” function allows
editing in the field.
The Replay XD720 is incredibly easy to use, setting a new standard for POV Camera controls. Simply flip a switch on the back to select frame rate and audio input options, and then replace the cap - it’s that easy. The Power and Record buttons require one simple touch, with specific vibration feedback and indicator lights for each command.
“The XD720 has simple controls and a compact design perfect for everyone from first-time shooters to athletes that need a compact, lightweight way to capture the action," says RePlay XD President John Spar. "This camera includes the pro-level optics and audio packed similar to that in our XD1080 model, but in a smaller package at an incredible price. It’s in a class of its own.”
The XD720 kit includes the camera, a microfiber protective pouch, ballistic carrying case, 4GB micro SDHC card, USB charge / data cable, Micro USB card reader, micro SD to SD card adaptor for easy file transferring, Car power Adapter, safety leash, and two mounting options. The RePlay XD® exclusive mounts include a HeimLock swivel/tilt mount, LowBoy flat mount, two convex and two flat SnapTrays. Unlike other bulky POV cameras, the RePlay XD720’s small shape allows it to hide just about anywhere. MSRP: $199.99 Available at www.replayxd.com.
Replay XD was designed by a group of racing professionals with over 50 years of experience in the high performance racing industry. The development team saw the need for ultra-lightweight cameras that could capture never before seen video footage from the most extreme racing and action environments on earth. The Replay XD1080 has been put through the most grueling conditions possible and has come out unscathed with crystal clear footage. Replay XD's goal is to bring you the most technologically advanced recording systems available today. www.replayxd.com (805) 480-9800.

This year's lineup once again includes the many National-caliber tracks that have become such an integral part of the Road to Loretta's. From the historic Unadilla Motocross track in the northeast, to the popular track of Washougal in the northwest, the tour will also return to north and south central favorites such as Spring Creek and Freestone MX.
"The Loretta Lynn's Area Qualifier and Regional Championship schedule was founded over 30 years ago with the best tracks and organizers in the country," said MX Sports Event Director Tim Cotter. "It is important that our competitors know that when they attend our events they are going to receive a quality program at a premiere facility. I feel confident that we are continuing that same tradition with the 2013 schedule."
The 2013 Red Bull Amateur National Motocross Championship will take place Sunday, July 28 - Saturday, August 3 at Loretta Lynn Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tenn. For more information, visit the series website at www.mxsports.com.
