Yo Richie,
I feel ya bro, I understand how you feel I have been there many many times…I have one thing to say to you..
Never say never in this life, it will bite you in the a$$…C-Ya at the BMX track sometime somewhere in the near future…
Oh by the way, if you get a crossbar on your bars you may lose that feeling of “oh crap, my bars are gonna snap off” that may make you feel like putting in another 10 years..
But seriously I cannot think of anything better than a full body shave followed by a 50 mile road ride in 5 degree wet, rainy, snowy weather…
FREEZE MUCH?
Ride on brother!

Way to go Rich!!!
Not often someone has a broken rib cage and goes out and handles 111 in the moto’s and a 2nd in the main..I wonder how you would do if you were not hurt? I wanted to say good job! You rock..

I figured I would jump in and add to this list:
Yesterday I did verticle leap jumps..
set 1 = 45lbs dumbbells just did 10 squats (no jump) for warm up.
sets 2-5 = 45lbs dumbbells 20 reps each with 4 minutes rest between sets.
Legs are coming back to life…

Thanks again,

So much for the few short sentences…
This topic is interesting..I have my opinion and it usually gets me in trouble but since we have a nice friendly site here I will give my .02 cents in a few short sentences…
The powers that be in both the ABA and the NBL are simple, blue collar minded people. That is a very very nice description…Basically they are not business people, they are at best little league type of people. Here’s the motto they go by…Have as many nationals as possible as we charge more and can make more money, while were at it lets have 40 classes so we can get everyone from the 5 novice to the 50 plus cruiser rider and everything in between. The result of this is it completely undermines the local programs and the local scene dies off as a result. Bob and Clayton as well as his boss Bernie Anderson the owner of the ABA are to greedy and stupid to see this and they also do not give 2 $hits about the future of our sport. Here are 2 guys (Bob and Clayton) making over $100,000.00 per year as company heads that could not make that much or even close to that in corporate America. They are over paid, old, tired, narrow minded and affraid of change. Heres the solution….Create a new sanction and do it the right way, let the NBL and ABA putts along while the new sanction just makes good decisions and markets our sport. If the NBL and ABA have not figured it out in 25 years they are not going to get it anytime soon…I have not been to a national event in about 2 years and I do not miss it..It’s sad, these people are killing off our sport and we all sit back and watch it happen..It sucks! I have my opinions and given the chance would jump on the opportunity to get involved in doing something to change our sport..Who knows maybe one day, but for now it’s a sad deal..The Pro’s seem content to ride for nothing a month and at the same time ask the ABA and NBL to cut the amount of races back so now you can actually hit up one of your favorite National events and not see your favorite Pro…I have heard so many Pro’s complain about having to many races but at the same time they are making less than $40,000.00 per year..Do your sprints and squats and can’t make your mortgage, 30 plus and live with buddies because you cannot afford to buy a home because you ride for nothing a month…Bitch about it but do nothing about it, this is your typical AA-pro these days Im sorry but again it’s just my opinion…
If we don’t take the sport into our own hands it will not change, not ever..Ok….That’s my vent session, back to your regulary scheduled drama..
Peace
This is cool! I am pumped that I can come here and see the motivation you all have for training, makes me happy I came and spent time with you all…Keep up the work guy’s!

Someone go into the bmxnews thread and ask Greg Romero why he is so worked up about shoulder pads…Could the 1997 UCI worlds in Canada be haunting him when John Purse passed him at the line for the win and World title with a nice set of shoulder pads on…LOL Good stuff..I did’nt say a word..LOL
Can rider1 give a shaving seminar? I do not want to wind up having a complete bleed out in the process..Shave Much? LOL
Hello everyone,
I wanted to say thanks a lot for having me out for the clinic. I have to say this is one of the best clinics in terms of how much interest there was at all times during the clinic. Everyone was into it and that makes my job easier in terms of getting as much information to you as possible. I had a great time and hopefully can return again one day. Thanks Mr. Farside!!! Your passion for this sport is great and all the riders at Egg Harbor should be happy to have someone who goes as far back in BMX as you do..Keep it going and to everyone who attended thank you again…
Work hard, don’t complain, don’t make excuses just get busy. Your results will come based on the effort you put forth, you get out of it what you put into it and that extends well beyond the BMX track if you know what Im sayin..
Good luck everyone!
GH
PS….A big thank you to my velodrome riding leg shaving compadre
