Zane and Sage Bader, along with
their youngest brother Ace, are
fortunate to have found a calling so
young in life. “They have been so
passionate about their sport,’ says
their mother, Hannah Bader. Their
passion is BMX racing, and Zane, 15,
and Sage, 13, parlayed their love of the
sport to qualifying spots on Team USA
in March of this year in Albuquerque,
New Mexico. The brothers, and the
family, will travel to Belgium, July 23
through the 28, for the BMX World
Championships. The brothers also
have an entrepreneurial spirit to them.
“They have to earn part of their fees,”
Hannah Bader says. Part of that is the
making and selling their handmade
greeting card brand of “Extra Happy.”
Another part happens Saturday with
the Bike Swap & BBQ Fundraising
Event to help defray costs. This is big
for the BMX community in the Pacific
Northwest, where weather hampers
efforts to train year-round. It’s also big
for the Bader family, who moved to the
Creswell area about a year ago from
Hawaii. “They’re just starting to be more
serious about this,” Hannah Bader says
of her sons.
The Bike Swap & BBQ fundraising
event for the Bader brothers is 10 am to
2 pm Saturday, June 15, at the Emerald
Valley BMX track, 2715 Leo Harris
Parkway, across from Autzen Stadium.
The bike swap is FREE. The BBQ and
the “Fun & Funky racing” at 12:30 pm is
donation. – Dan Buckwalter
