KUSI News 'Action Sports Report' at the Kearny Moto Park


Today Holly's KUSI News 'Action Sports Report' was at the Kearny Moto Park!

BMX is a fun and safe action sport for people of all ages! Statistics have proven that BMX racing is one of the safest of all sports today. Part of this is due to the mandatory safety requirements. All Riders MUST wear long sleeves, long pants and a full face helmet.

We had some young guns out on the track this morning ripping through the course and doing stylish airs over the jumps just as the sun was coming up. Ahhhh, what a way to start your day!


On Saturday, Nov 21st at the Kearny Moto Park, there will be a Fundraiser for Erin Schaefer who is a 7 year old BMX that was ranked top in her field before she was diagnosed with cancer.

If you would like to learn about what BMX is and how to get started, just press these words!

Holly's KUSI News 'Action Sports Report' was at the Embarcadero in San Diego where she talked with Brent Teal and Bryan Pate, the creator's of the World's First outdoor Elliptical bicycle, called the ElliptiGO.

Brent and Bryan came up with the idea over 4 years ago since Bryan had incurred many injuries due to the hard impact from running and doing triathlon's. Since Bryan is an athlete and Brent is an engineer, they decided to put their minds together and create a fun, low impact alternative to going indoors to the gym and doing aerobic exercise with being outside and enjoying the sunshine and fresh air.

KUSI News 'Action Sports Report' at Swami's Beach in Encinitas



The surf is "TOTALLY UP" today! Swami's World-Class waves and location made it a great place to be this morning as it was packed at the crack of dawn with big and beautiful sets coming in.

Holly's KUSI News 'Action Sports Report' this morning not only had big waves, but there is also a big debate going on as to whether the 'Women's World Longboard Championship' contest should be held here in Oct. 2010. The community believes the large crowds, the negative environmental impact to the reef and delicate sandstone bluff, and the fact that local surfers would be banished from the break on those days, are all reasons the contest shouldn't be allowed.

Read here about the history of Swami's and the controversial debate.
