Yeah Brett, that guy has been on my “get to” list for too long, time to track him down.
What Brett is referring to is an old high school aquaintance of mine got into sports marketing right out of college and is currently the CEO of a major sport franchise. He is on the business side with expertise in sales & marketing, not the player side. His #1 job is building the “brand”. I do not want to give who this is away, cause there is no guarantee just how far I will get with him once I do track him down. But, if I told you the deal he brokered that put two monster names together for an event that everyone on this sight knows about, it would blow your mind. No giving it away Brett.
I know where he lives and I know where his office is located. I just gotta reach out to him in hopes of renewing an old friendship. If nothing else his insight could prove most valuable.
I’ll keep you posted.
What?…no clips?
…and Buddha’s got a lot of “equity” left to sweat off! :wink:!
Just bustin’ Greg. 😀
Eric – Brett had pointed out that in the past CJ used to race double sanction – ABA & NBL on different nights. Do you see that possibly happening again, maybe getting tracks to run BMXL on a different day? Could it be done?
I know there was a thread on here about the contracts that a track has to sign, so we don’t need to rehash that, but just wondering if that is an option.
I’d like to see him clear the doubles at CJ with it!
Nice build Paul. Sweet.
Post the pics!
Eric –
I don’t if it counts, but back in the 80’s, I think it was 1984, one of the 3 networks did a Kids on Kids special featuring BMX as one of its three stories for the show. It was filmed at Braddock. I think it was ABC or NBC. I gotta believe that wasn’t the first time something like that was done. I keep telling myself I gotta track it down. I was fortunate enough to be featured in two of the race clips used on the show. Very cool hearing “Crazy Craig in the lead” on national TV.

Wasn’t once enough?
…and Brett…I don’t think 35 Expert is gonna be easy. :wink:!
Brett –
Did the Black Suburbans ever track you down?? 😆
That was some funny stuff Jess.
Jess – can you post the link to that thread?
George, for some reason I had not ridden ANY bike for 10 years. Long story short, when I showed up at EHT for the Jack Frost, its a miracle I made it around the track without medical assitance, and somehow did not come in dead last in 35-39 Cruiser.
I finally built a new 20″ in May but decided based on my skills at that point, I was better suited for Novice. After being off the track for nearly 17 years, I did not see any problem with it. Pete Woghelmuth did the same thing, as did Brett Middaugh (he was back first). I busted up several body parts getting back up to speed.
Every National I got better, and almost wished the season was 1 month longer, I might have made it towards the top of the National rankings, but now I am officially back in Expert where I belong. And its just like BITD – once you move up – you rise to the challenge.
