Amigos Of Dave Wrap Up

The Amigos of Dave Bike Day took place at Nerang Skatepark on the Gold Coast on the 1st of May, and by any measure it was a great success. The turnout was fantastic, lots of money was raised to help out with Dave's medical bills, and some amazing riding went down.

The riding was great, with the likes of Jaie Toohey and Matt Whyatt making the trip up from down south just for the day. Both Pro Street and Pro Bowl were hotly contested, with close to 40 riders vying for the $3500 in prize money on the line. First place in Pro Street went to Chris 'Danger' O'Donnell, while local boy Chris Courtenay, who just edged out Melbourne based Matt Whyatt, took out Pro Bowl.

Full Results:

Pro Street-

1. Chris O'Donnell
2. John Debono
3. (Five way tie) - Adrian Galaz, Chris Courtenay, Adam Cox, Cooper Brownlee, and Raphael Williams.

Pro Bowl -

A special mention must go out to the Amigo's Of Dave organisers, who put in a huge effort to pull everything together. It was great to see the whole BMX community get behind this event. Dave should be proud, and hopefully the money raised will be a big help for him and his family.

All in all, the day raised close to $15,000, all of which will go directly to funding the costs of David Montoya's medical bills. Dave is currently dealing with a brain tumour, and the Amigos of Dave group was formed to help raise awareness of Dave's struggle, and to contribute to the significant medical bills Dave and his family are facing for treatment of the tumour.
