The Bridge - Joplin, MO

Now, if you are not already aware, we just hosted JoMoPro at the Autumn Ramp Park on the north side of our facility this weekend. It was AMAZING! Over 200 riders and numerous spectators came for the weekend action that ranged from Intermediate, Expert, Pro, and Girls Park compeitions, Intermediate, Veteran, Expert, Masters, and Pro Flatland competitions, the "Best Trick" (which ends up being a section of the weekend when we watch the "BMXers" do nearly impossible tricks), and free shows out in front of the building of both Park and Flatland tricks. These people know how to have fun while riding a bike and came to Joplin, Missouri to do just that this past weekend.

But why?

Why do we sponsor huge events for all sorts of different groups of people from all over the world? Why was JoMoPro a success in the eyes of the BMX world? What makes the Bridge/Foundry/Autumn Ramp Park different from many other venues?

Here it is: We really, really want to love people because we love Jesus.

We just want everyone to know that we exist to "attract and welcome all youth and connect them to Christ" in the Bridge (and in the event that 200 BMX riders might come to Joplin, we want to attract and welcome all of them and connect them to Christ also!).

Thank you if you were here this weekend! Thank you if you prayed for this weekend! If you were not able to make it, hopefully you can come next year to JoMoPro 2011!

Until then, love Jesus & love people!
