BMX HEX adds more excitement to the ABA
GREAT NORTHWEST NATIONALS April 4-6, 2008.
In about two weeks the BMX world will converge on a brand new
venue for the 2008 edition of the Great Northwest Nationals. The
event, presented by Team BMX Oregon and the Oregon Sports
Authority, will be held at the Hooker Creek Event Center in Redmond,
Oregon April 4-6, 2008.
This entire facility is spectacular and the arena will be one of the best
ABA will visit all year. The Hooker Creek Event Center, a multi-purpose
indoor arena, is the largest of the buildings at the Fairgrounds that
constitutes some 279,000 square feet of space under one roof.
The space will allow for a great track with tons of bleacher seating.
