DNA Energy Drink/BTO Sports.com/BBMX Race Team has one of those nights in San Francisco.

San Francisco- In front of a near sellout crowd in San Francisco California, the DNA Energy Drink/BTO Sports.com/BBMX team experienced the agony of defeat after many weeks of great results in the AMA Supercross series. The teams riders, Shaun Skinner in the 250 class and Matt Boni in the 450 class both failed to qualify for the main event. It was especially gut wrenching for Boni as he had made every main event thus far in the series, one of only two privateers to have done so.

Skinner was in qualifying spot when he got landed on by another rider. His helmet was cracked and Shaun was dazed pretty good. " I usually don't pitch sponsors products after a crash, but I am 100% sure that in this case that the new FLY Formula helmet that Skinner was wearing saved his head from a major injury. The helmet did more than its job and Skinner was able to walk away after having his head landed on by a 200 plus lb motorcycle. Thank you to the FLY guys for keeping him safe" reported team manager Forrest Butler. When contacted for a quote for this all Shaun would say was "I race motorcycles?"

Boni was on it in the heat but went off the track after colliding with defending sx champion Chad Reed and knocked out of a qualifying spot. He got back on it and was working hard to get back into the main when he sucked another rider up into his rear wheel. As you can imagine the bike stopped and he was done. In the LCQ he didn't get the jump and was dealing with the approximately 2 million dollars of riders in salaries that were in that race. He tried his best but came up short, the team was out of the main events and the tears flowed. Not really but that sounds good.

The tears subsided when one of the teams sponsors, Bel-Ray, threw a really cool after party for the guys.

There's no way that DNA Energy Drink/BTO Sports.com/BBMX can go racing without the help of their sponsors and would like to thank the following companies:
