Awards Expand, Go Online
ATV Sport
To Recognize Best Riders In Multiple ATV Racing
Disciplines
Minneapolis, MN (10/4/2006)
- In its eighth year of People’s
Choice Awards, ATV Sport magazine has altered
presentations to accommodate multiple racing disciplines
and more deserving riders than ever. For the last
seven years, ATV Sport has hosted the People’s
Choice Awards at the season-ending GNC National
Motocross Banquet featuring live voting.
For the first time, awards will be presented to motocross,
flat track and cross-country riders as selected by their
peers on www.atvsport.com. With a multitude of national
race series and split banquets in the GNC circuit, it
became more feasible to offer voting on the Web.
"We started the ATV Sport People's Choice Awards
roughly seven years ago as a way to give back and acknowledge
the ATV racing community and riders. We wanted to continue
what Bryon Goggin started when he first created the
GNC banquet and ‘eagle’ awards,” ATV
Sport Editor Jerrod Kelley said. “We have altered
the award voting process over the last few years and
feel we must do so once again. To coincide with our
upcoming magazine redesign for our Buyer’s Guide
issue, we've decided to redesign our ATV Sport People's
Choice Awards.”
Due to the number of postseason banquets and the need
to remain both impartial and innovative with the awards,
ATV Sport has decided to take them online to allow site
visitors and magazine readers to vote. One of the changes
will be adding other racing circuits (WPSA, GNCC, WORCS,
Super Moto) and riders to the voting circle, as opposed
to only having ATVA MX and EDT National riders included.
In conjunction with the People's Choice Award, ATV Sport
will have some other magazine awards it will announce
in the coming months.
"We are excited we can continue to bring further
recognition to the ATV racing industry and its dedicated
riders with our awards,” Kelley said. “Riders
will still receive trophies and be recognized both on
the Web and within the magazine."
This year’s categories are as follows: Utility
Quad Racer of the Year; Flat Track/Super Moto Pro Racer
of the Year; Motocross Pro Racer of the Year; Cross-Country
Pro Racer of the Year; Flat Track/Super Moto Amateur
Racer of the Year; Motocross Amateur Racer of the Year;
Cross-Country Amatuer Racer of the Year; EDT/Super Moto
Youth Racer of the Year; Motocross Youth Racer of the
Year; Cross Country Youth Racer of the Year.
Each category was narrowed down to 10 selections determined
by the ATV Sport magazine staff.
