Ok guys, since everyone has been having fun with the Pro-Am this year.
Who would be down to run the whole series on flat pedals?
I know Legend’s answer, but this is a serious question I am posing to the guys who are spending their hard earned sheckles and risking their necks.We might be able to bring in more sponsors (shoes) and we could promote it even more heavily as an “out of the ordinary” pro-am series.
Please don’t argue about clips, just yay or naying it is cool enough.
July 31, 2007 at 8:15 pm #48617s4lnjMemberalthough i only ran one so far– i plan on entering a couple more– training hard and hitting the whole series next year–
and i run flats anyway

nuff said.
August 1, 2007 at 11:12 pm #48647njracerMemberI like the idea. Anyone contacted DC yet? They already have an alliance with SE on the old school tip. Lets hear from the guys who race the series. Farside? Fast Phil? Knapper?
August 1, 2007 at 11:15 pm #486484130forlifeMemberim going to stay silent on this topic because we all know how i feel about clips
August 1, 2007 at 11:48 pm #48651bmxer901MemberEven though I love my clips, I think the pro am should be flats only. Everyone always talks about how the clips give an advantage over flats. Well why not elimanate the clips and make it alittle more of a challange for some.
August 1, 2007 at 11:50 pm #486524130forlifeMemberEXACTLY!!!!!

August 2, 2007 at 3:20 am #48666sickryder83MemberI jump better and race almost as fast on flats, but i like racing with clips better. I think a seperate series would be cool. I don’t think the hyper series should be no-clips though. I think that it would deter some people that don’t feel comfortable with riding flats, and ultimatly make it have a smaller turnout.
August 2, 2007 at 4:08 am #48670pabmxrcr708MemberI don’t care
clips or flats
i like racing with clips i dont use flats alot
but i would race the series with flats next year
either way idc
August 2, 2007 at 4:12 am #48671pabmxrcr708Memberbut what about doing something about the cost for Am’s
about the money like get a discount for ams to race
its like a national for ams
20 dollars for class
20 dollars for pro/amthats 40dollars cost 50 dollars for a national
we should have a discount with class if we race pro/am???
August 2, 2007 at 10:32 am #48672RaidenHaydenMemberTim, if you were a pro then it would only be $20, and is something that should have been changed. Unfortunately, it seems that the state board, or I should say ceertain members are set in their ways. With all that has been done, I thought the counts would be higher already. I think a few of them need to not interfere and let some real changes be made!!!!! As far as the clips, I was worried about jumping with them, nut I like them for that too!!
