Mr. Pawson you realize of course that people who donate to NJBMX Inc. will have their name put on the new website. —

My solemn oath to The Legend is that I will be back on the track this coming year.

The real question is,
who wants to party at the house built by people who love BMX?

[bmiddaugh]

THe program was Craig’s idea and the artwork was by Lee Matos of MadMedia Blitz who came up with the state logo this year.

Riders Choice was
Male Jeremy Knapper
Female Taylor Farside
Stirley Awards
Male- Victor Behm Sr. (RIP bro)
Female- Lisa Heath

Those are all I got, I also tried to mention whomever I could remember which is everyone,
next year, if people want me to do it, I’ll write stuff down.

I also and I am so sorry, wanted to thank the Gleasons and their daughter Kelly for their help in the early days, but I forgot in the middle of everything so was not able to make a public announcement. Kelly passed not to long ago and she should be remembered for her contributions made in the early 80’s in areas such as….
scorekeeping,
and clerking.
RIP.

For the first time I actually did do something that required taking in money.
The calendars.
I told people if we could get at least 15 people to buy them I could get the price down to $15.00.
Guess I should tell everyone they cost $10.80 a piece to make, (no big secret go to cafepress.com and make yourself an account and you too can make calendars, lol)
Ok, mack where’s the $4.20 profit going?
Well, I promised CJ 2 bucks from each calendar sale goes to their track.
So that’s part of it.
I think the other 2 will go to the state, they will get a donation from here as well.
I have a few left that I have to get out to people, I’ll check the names tonight and give them a call or email, if I don’t hear from them by Jan 6, I’ll have em at CJ. Then in Jan, I’ll give CJ what I promised them, and at January’s state meeting, I’ll give them a donation as well.

Unless you grew up with BMX around you and were friends with people like Charlie Huber, Bob Warnicke, the Gleasons, James Cerullo, Fran from Clifton Speed Center, Harry Myers….you”ll never understand my motivation.
Ever.

I am, also, MORE than willing to show people how to do what I do, get calendars going, DVD’s, websites, whatever it takes to make BMX (BMX racing, freestyle, flatland, yadda yadda) bigger and better.

I think the biggest thing though, right now, is someone needs to open a new track in the state of NJ…

I actually think that this year, the Cranmer’s deserve the biggest thank you as we would have lost a track this year, had it not been for their family stepping up.

So at this time, I say thanks to Scott, Donna, Scotty and the rest of them.
And I will also say that there will be more thank you’s coming.

2008.
Will be the year.

Trilogy is officially part of NJBMX.
Scott Cranmer is still Commissioner.
Lisa is still Secretary.
Lots of forward progress has been made.
The awards are cool.
And it’s my belief that we’ve stepped beyond the dogma of the past.

It’s also my belief that nothing would have gotten done the way it did this year if not for the board that NJBMX had.
Rock on.

[bmiddaugh]

hehe,,,yea that’s me man, looking to clock the dollars.
More on that later….

But anyway to quote my brother Scooter

you dont think its the fact that he probably make advertising money from this site?? I think hes smarter then all of us and started a bmx site right before the olympics. $$$$$$$$$ snow boarding shawn white……… olympics $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ get my drift there has to be another motive

Call or email any of the people under the “We Recommend” part of the front page and ask them if they’ve ever given money to me or for that matter product…

(I sorta think Scooter is busting my chops but that’s just me.)

[bmiddaugh]

I don’t know about the Smith one man, I just checked the old site and it isn’t there…I’ll check my email to see if I have a copy of it..
Man, I would love to hear from all those guys, they are not a part of the history of freestyle in NJ, they ARE the history of freestyle in NJ.
Damn, it’s crazy to think how huge flatland was BITD.

[bmiddaugh]

Life is a competition.
No doubt.
But not in the area of win – lose…that is short term thinking….
It’s more in the area of good – evil.
Everything you do moves you in one direction or another.

Glad your mom is ok — bro. Reason that cars break apart nowadays is to take the brunt of the impact and distribute the force that is created during the accident.
Ever wonder why Indy Cars bust all apart when they crash as opposed to doing what they did back in the 50’s and 60’s, it’s because of the wrecks and what they learned from them.
Check out some of it some time it’s real interesting.

[bmiddaugh]

Dude, you told ME that you wanted to move back to novice earlier in the year…and what did I tell you.
“Ya better not unless you wanna get completely hammered.
“
Last place in expert always feels better than novice man, come on now. —

[bmiddaugh]

I think I see at least 2 gentleman who have an honest interest in doing the right thing…
—

Congratulations to all jacket winners.

[bmiddaugh]

ha, not far from the perception of things from some people last year….
but times change.

[bmiddaugh]

We should get that shit rolling again bro, do you have some homies you can contact?

[bmiddaugh]

Perhaps an off the cuff meeting with those new people who want to step up and some of the “old guard” this weekend in a neutral area may help things.
Outside the state meeting of course.
