Rockstar Games Presents the 39th Annual Harlem Skyscraper Cycling Classic on Sunday, June 17th12:00 EDT Thursday, June 14, 2012 NEW YORK (Business Wire) -- Rockstar Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), is pleased to present the 39th annual Harlem Skyscraper Cycling Classic on Father's Day, June 17 at Marcus Garvey Park in New York City (121st Street and Fifth Avenue). Now with an expanded program and national status for the professional race component, the historic community event provides a unique opportunity for cyclists from all levels and age groups to converge on the streets of Harlem in a day-long celebration of cycling filled with competitive, high-speed racing, music, food, and family entertainment. After continued support and recognition on the professional circuit, the David Walker Memorial Race, has been awarded national status and is one of only four races nationwide named to the two national criterium racing calendars, NCC and USA CRITS, for 2012. Some of the world's finest professional riders including two-time Tour de France stage winner, Leon van Bon of Holland, will be taking part in what promises to be an outstanding sporting event. The race will be televised live on NYC Life TV, Channel 25 in New York City, and streamed live online on Rockstar's official event page at www.rockstargames.com/skyscraperclassic. “The Skyscraper is a perfect example of a strong USA cycling national criterium calendar event,” said Micah Rice, USA Cycling Managing Director of National Events. “As an NCC stop, the professional men's race will attract some of world's finest racing talent for an unparalleled display of speed, power and skill on the iconic streets of Harlem.” “I am excited that the USA CRITS Series is coming to New York City as a part of a great American tradition on Father's Day,” stated USA CRITS founder Gene Dixon. “As the longest running event on the series, there is no better place to define the sport of criterium racing.” “New York City, as it grows into a world-class cycling community, needs and deserves a showcase national race: they now have it,” said Race Director John Eustice. Founded in 1973 by David Walker, a Community Affairs Officer with NYPD's 25th Precinct, the Skyscraper was designed to attract children to a cycling safety and racing program through the excitement of professional racing, and to offer amateur riders a chance to race in a beautiful urban setting. Mr. Walker's vision continues with Bike New York's Learn to Ride program, which will be available, at no charge, to children from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. during the amateur races. Additionally, a BMX stunt show by Baby Bean Productions will take place, including BMX racing instruction for children. Registration opens at 11:00 a.m. on Father's Day, followed by a series of children's and amateur races starting the day's festivities at noon.
