Title: Sportsman of the Year, it's a No-Brainer
Post by: Craig Gernhardt on November 09, 2007, 04:51:04 PM
The AMA had 400 different champions to choose from. To say the our little 'Wisconsin Wonder' didn't earn this nomination would be disingenuous. Let me be the first to say, good luck Patrick.

AMA Sports Athlete of the Year Nominees:

Trey Canard, Elk City, Oklahoma, Motocross
Zac Chapman, Weatherford, Texas, Road Racing
Michael Lafferty, Estell Manor, New Jersey, Enduro
David Pearson, Las Vegas, Nevada, Hare & Hound
Patrick Smage, Elkhorn, Wisconsin, Observed Trials

We are back and quite surprised and pleased to announce that Patrick  did indeed win the top athlete award  which is the final and most prestigious award of the evening  ,  in 30 years the only trials riders to be on that list are Bernie, Scottt Head   ans Geoff AAron     .  We will  try to post picture of Pat and his fine awards  on Smageshercosales site soon.  The Endurocross was  very crazy  Phil had  the 6th fastesthot lap out of 36  extremely well known riders  but in his semi heat Kieth Wineland got pretty sideways off of a big double log jump and hit Phil in air  as the landing pretzeled Phils front wheel he was done for the night   go to cyclenews for  full story on the coverage.   cheers
