Okay we all know beacon does not”support the track” I For one do not like the fact that they will sell you a bike but you can get no racing info. The one thing that will change this is everyrider going in there and asking do you have thhis do you have this? I know they had a team at one point. I have talked to alot of people with no bmx knowledge and they say that it is a bad business move to let another vendor come with a trailer and sell stuff. I have nothing against andy( hell i wish he owned beacon) but he is not there every sunday.
I have been anti beacon but that is going to change. If we can get beacon to promote the track,that will be a big help.
beacon always had a very competitive state team a few yrs back… in fact daryl used to work on the kids bikes and be backed up with repairs/ builds etc. i dont know what happened. they used to have a deal when you could bring in dans ad and they would match any price ( without shipping) it was pretty good since i always thought they were overpriced compared to other shops… what about the dad who goes for the first time to that track and has to deal with changing the infamous 1 1/8 cruiser tube? what a nightmare, would be nice to be able to go in and have some assistance or a quick change during a race day.
i have no idea what happened.
Man if I had a track behind my shop talk about support .I match dans all day come check me out . No bmx racing in stock but get anything lots of freestyle !!!We are not super close to the track but I think well worth the trip
beacon sucks
How to convince Beacon BMX does not suck.
$$$
Easy enough.
some people you cant change f em once they go out of business maybe some one with a heart for what a gold mine they have right behind them may take over
yea would be nice to have a high gear right there next to the track…
hint hint….. :wink:!
Uh, if they went out of business would the track remain??? Might be shooting yourself in the foot
why do you say that? do they own the land back there or something?
The Gleasons own the land.
CJ as Dale said, “Ain’t going nowhere”.Rod, I believe that beacon LEASES that store from the Gleasons….now if High Gear felt like expanding and had a feasible business plan from someone who truly had a heart for BMX, I bet if I introduced them to Carol she would be willing to listen…
Just a thought.
Again…dang you guys just aren’t hearing this.
There is no more $$ in racing, so they are not gonna care…
Do any other freestylers care to elaborate on the years 1990-1996?My point was Deb, if the shop owned the land, why would you want it to shut down as some stated
The other end of the whole Beacon debate should have served as a wake up call, in simple terms, they are saying that BMX just isn’t worth their time!!! Hello, make it worth their time, or any other shop
exactly… i was hoping that they didnt sell the property with the business/shop… whew!!!
