#RememberThis- 2006 Jack Frost Classic

Load up the car, BMXaholics the ’06 NJ season has
begun! Janeen was able to dial in a classic 72.535 degree day for the Frosty
wonder at EHT. Old school riders,
new school shredders and newbs were fully ensconced in the racing action as
practice got underway at the classic Egg Harbor track.

Wandering the pits, KB racing could be seen dialing in it’s team
for the year, looks like the teacher, Kevin Mark, will be doing some schooling
this year, Hyper was as usual repped big time by the Farside contingent and
his assortment of “hyper” active racing rippers. Speaking of Rippers,
from an old dog like myself, I haven’t seen such an abundance of SE
bikes in the pits since the heydays of the mid 80’s, what is Todd Lyons spiking
those paint jobs with? Gotta admit it was cool to see so much floval tubing
flying on the track that day!

As usual 90% of the racing was done by those 19 and under and about 10% was
done by those 20 and over, but I would have to say that 100%
of the B.S. talking was done by all
those 35 & over, dang fellers, we might as well not even get on the track,
we wear out our lungs just shooting the nonsense between us!

Super mouth Paul Roger came down to flow the mic, but unfortunately
the PA got heavily vandalized not too much before the race and wasn’t quite
up to the task on race day. I’m not raining on EHT there but putting a call
out to some dude who can lend a hand to EHT and get that PA system back up
to snuff for the first State Qualifier in April, volunteer fellers, it feels
good…
On the comeback trail…Crazy Craig Wilson, bailing and wailing
in 35-39 cruiser, give him time folks and you’ll be seeing another old ripper
out there. 35 & Over novice, John Wolkiewicz, first race back and second
place! Props to the geez and the blue PK!…Another vintagebmx.com guy Rich
D’Amico rolled up on the gate and put the foot down in the old mans newb class!
Welcome back you pyschos!

Jammin Jimmy Moore put the stomp down in the 18-21 Expert class
tearing it up for PPB. Usually you’d expect Flying Phil D to be in the lead
here but he was saving some for the money in the open class!
Max Edgdorf rocked in 15 Ex, but Vinnie Mannino was heard to say that when
he gets him on CJ’s new first straight at the regional things will be winding
up much different than at the JFC, (ok, maybe
he didn’t say that, but Vinnie is gonna lay some smack down boosting the dubs)

Torquing Taylor Farside was blazing in her motos but had to play
bridesmaid to Blazing Tiffany Bontorno from MA in the main. The girls classes
were really perking up at the JF and we even had a full on ladies cruiser
class. Come on out ladies, BMX needs more femme fatales at the track to keep
us men in check, hehe..

Speaking of the Farsides, I’m seeing a lot of families out there
racing together, Suhonen, Hamblin, Cafiero, Roarty, McMurray to name just
a few. It’s rocking to see BMX become such a generational sport! Rock on BMX
familias!

I saw a lot of returning beginners this season! Welcome back!
Might be time to start thinking about hitting it on up to the novice class,
so’s the
new crop of crazy newbs can roll on in and start shredding on their walmart
skoots!….Speaking of beginners and walmart bikes, Roosting Rich F got together
with Hyper to have 3 races of their X-Games Moto-X bikes. I’ll admit when
I saw Rich talking about those things, I thought the main Hyper agent had
gone ballistic, but after seeing the young dudes and dudettes, (yea, we got
a lady on one of those bad boys) tear it up on the track with ’em, it looks
like they would be a great move to bring in brand new fresh
riders to the sport. Major props to Farside, Hyper and EHT for donating the
bikes and time to have the races and get some new interest rocking in the
sport!

Speaking of rookies who moved up and are shredding it! Jeffrey
Heath, no guys not the OM Jeff, he’s already to much of a terror, I speak
of young Heath.

The young Heath bar stepped up into the novice class this season after going
about the rookie class last year, 3 firsts in his motos and a 3rd in
the main says something to all those staying in
beginner past that first year, step it up and get rocking! No
fear to plow through a new class! KICK IT Jeffro!

Young pedaling padudelars? Jeremy Smith stomped cruiser and Expert
class… 8 years old and all that power! Dagnabbit all! Matty Cranmer took
the second, with all the style that you expect from that last name, the Cranmers
are on a steady diet of air and they are catching plenty of it! The flying
dustmop, Paul Filippone blew apart 10 Ex with a full on perfect for that class.
The longer the hair, the faster the kid. Pop F also catches plenty of volunteer
time at HCBMX!
Last regular class proper of the day, Tom McMurray, dad, racer and all around
cool dude, not one ‘tude near this guy, humble and well…dagnabble it pretty
near impossible to catch! Welcome back, have fun this year! And congrats on
the 1st in 35 & Over Expert.
The open classes, 16-29 and 30 over….whew doggie it’s ricearoni
time….

In 30 & Over the racing was all over the place! Farside, Ciancio,
Kelley, Wilmot. Any of these guys could have ridden home a richer man but
only one did. At one point Jud went thud and did a gnarly endo out of the
first turn, rumor had it that visions of some crazy internet thread at vbmx.com
were going through his head during that flipatude….London Wilmot came down
from MA to defrost at the Jack Frost and proceeded directly into 4th place.
Kelley Kelley wound up looking pretty good but infortunately he was
looking from behind the orange jersey of Hyper flyer Farside. Rich decided
to step it up 1.1125 notches in the main and take home a few dollars for his
trouble. Seriously all the 30 Over guys are great individuals and rock the
house in their own right.
16-29….1/4’s!
Dang fellers, these gents are HUNGRY. Pros, ams, and in between it is the
class to watch and take down notes, pass them to your friends and study it
again!

I’ll start by letting you know who won, Lance McGuire and Mike
McGonigle went 1 and 2 for the state of MD. Toasty fellas! I have to tell
you no bragging, no nonsense, no B.S., Phil Delizia is THE guy to keep an
eye on. He got 3rd for the day in open here at JF, but I saw this man charge
and I mean American Express Platinum Card kinda charge down straights and
pass riders left and right like they were standing
still. The skills on this guy and the good attitude are going to eventually
turn into heavy bank for him and I hope he remembers his jersey roots when
the payola hits. George Hoernig from Inopia also tells me Phil skies heavy
jumping variations and what not, so the man is multi bike lingual, and I can
tell you one last thing, he can just about pedal up and over telephone polls.
(Yea, I’m NJ bias so Phil gets the big props!, hehe)
Overall, the day was killer, the race was
fun, ran mostly on time, definately run very quickly and efficiently and the
shirts were killer looking…Ok, I have a soft spot for baby blue since I’m
an old school SE nut job. I will admit though that I would rather see a return
to giving away trophies at big events like this, because that
gleaming hunk of metal means a lot to a kid, but that’s just my opinion though
I’d definately like to hear yours in the forums.
Looks like 2006 is off to a blazing start here
in NJ and who knows…maybe this winter, we’ll see some indoor action. Keep
your eyeballs glued
to brokenspokes.net. NJ is about to set the freaking BMX world ablaze!

Ride on, my BMX brothern and sistern! See you in April at the first State Qualifier!
