Rider Down Foundation at MXON

Lakewood, CO (Sept 24-26, 2010):  RedBull FIM 2010 MX of Nations, Thunder
Valley Motocross Park - The racing was exciting, the best of the best were
there, the crowds were huge and Team USA did not disappoint. The excitement
continued all weekend in between the racing.  The fans swarmed the pits and
vendor areas with one of the more popular attractions being the RiderDown
Foundation tent.  Here, a dozen volunteers were manning the booths on a
number of fronts.   

 

A big winner with riders and race fans alike at RiderDown's booth was the
Concept 2 rowing challenge. One of Concept 2's popular rowing machines was
signed by Team USA and decked out in Team USA graphics produced by
139designs.com. Fans competed to see who could get the fastest 500 meter
time.  Winners received generous gift certificates from S.I.C.A.S.S.  Racing
and their choice of RiderDown gear.  In addition, all participants received
a gift for their efforts.

 

Ron Rennke of Grand Junction, CO supplied a beautifully restored 1982 KTM
495 for a silent auction. Legends like Donnie Hanson, Gary Bailey, Danny
LaPorte and Chuck Sun stopped by to check it out and sign this iconic KTM.
The winner of the bike was Doug Williams of Las Vegas, NV. 

 

Certified Chiropractic Sports Practitioner, Sarah Schmidt, of Evergreen, CO
donated her time and expertise.  The on-going line of race fans needing that
sore shoulder, back or neck adjusted became a testament to her healing
touch.  

 

Thunder Valley and David Clabaugh were big supporters of RiderDown as well.
As the track owner, David has been a very dedicated RiderDown supporter ever
since the first Outdoor National held at his track in CO.  He has always
made it a point to make sure there was a place for RiderDown at all of his
events and this year they went a step further.  The crew held their own
silent auction with autographed race gear and event souvenirs from
competitors around the world to benefit RDF.  During the opening ceremony a
check for $1000 was presented to the RiderDown Foundation. 

  

About RiderDown Foundation: With a nationwide network of volunteers ready to
lend support and assistance to injured riders, RiderDown is actively giving
back to the amateur off road community. As a non-profit, 501(c)3 charitable
organization, RiderDown has been delivering on its mission of "Helping
Riders Up" since 2005. Dedicated to helping responsible off-road
motorcyclists and ATV racers who have been injured, proceeds are used to
provide assistance to riders and their families when faced with medical
expenses and related issues.  In cooperation with their partners in the
field of medical bill review, RDF has saved injured riders thousands of
