also, for all the kids that don’t have a class at a local or qualifier and have to be combined with kids not their age or proficiency then usually don’t get good points racing out class. Mean time the other kids may go to a different track and have a class and get perfects. Then when you get to the championship the kid who was combined at all the races got sucky points and then perfect at the championship doesn’t get number 1. It just isn’t fair. Qualifiy for the championship and wipe the slate clean. So everyone has a chance at being number one. It is a win/win situation and it makes sense and you will actually have to earn it at the championship and not just have it given to them.
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀

Just to expand on what Chris just mentioned.
How about having a series for the little kids (an open class) in conjunction with the state races where there is a point system and at the championship they win an XBox or something.
Like the Hyper Pro/Am series but for the younger guys.
I will buy the Xbox (or something else in the same price range) if thats what it takes.
I think that would be good for the younger kids, the only thing that you may have to do is have someone keep track of all the points. With the Pro/Am all the points were taken care of by us and not the state, we did it this way to alleviate the extra work that would have been involved.
So if someone is willing to help with this, I say bring it to the next state meeting and present it to the board. With the success of the Hyper Pro/Am, it should be able to be done.
I don’t know what’s involved in something like this but I would be willing to go for it . If someone would be willing to give me some help to get going, that would be great!
I’m pretty invested in this sport already, even though we have only been into it for 2 seasons, I have 2 young riders, 6 & 7 so I would love to be involved more to help keep the younger generation of riders have fun and stay motivated!
I even have another idea…it is kinda off subject but, it’s fresh in my head.
You all see every where you go.. super markets, walmart, ice cream stores…. They ask you if you would like to donate a dollar to a cause and you get to write your name on a little designed paper type thing. I speak for myself and I’m sure others, I feel like an ass not to give a dollar to a cause.it’s a dollar.
We can do this at all races at registration when they have their money in their hand.
We can put all these donations towards anything…prizes, banquet, whatever.It’s a great way to make some money and after a whole season it could really add up.
I like it!
It does’nt even have to be that big of a prize, they gave away helmets, fox gear bags, shirts, etc.. Whatever, they just want stuff, cool stuff.(and yes an XBox is very cool)
I’m sure we can get plenty of donations to give all of the kids entered something. Big or small, who cares like I said, they just want stuff!( they even get excited about sticker packs!)
One thing that we were really excited about was at the Pottstown Regional/National(I’m not sure which it was) was that they did a 7 & under open for prizes.As a parent of a young rider watching him try to win to get that prize was Great! I think he wanted that more than anything(how many trophies do you really need?)
I’m just repeating what you all say all the time, it’s the younger generation of riders that are going to keep this sport alive and growing they need to be movitated by winning something different!( it’s like christmas to them)
Can they do something like that at any race or do you think the extra races take away from the origional race that they are there for? HmmmJust my thoughts.

maybe have the state meeting schedule written somewhere on the new njbmx website? maybe even with the proposed ajenda so if anyone has info to bring up they can be prepared and make it more informative? even if its just a month and TBA so we know to look for a meeting coming up
does anyone know when the next meeting is?
Where are the meetings held? And I’m assuming anyone can go right?
Can I ask a stupid question? What is flatland? 😕

The Drury inn is BOOKED 👿 👿
I stayed at the Hyatt last year and it stunk compared to the drury so I booked a room at the Crowne plaza http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/cp/1/en/hotel/CMHOC/rooms
Has anyone stayed there ????
They said it’s connected to the conv. ctr like the other 2 hopefully it’s better than the Hyatt !
I booked rooms at both the Hyatt & the Crowne Plaza, what was wrong with the hyatt? I want to know which rooms to keep.
I love reading it all and putting in my 2 cents, even when it doesn’t make any sense.
It’s great to know that when you have a question you can ask it and within a few minutes you can have an answer.(weather it’s right or wrong,who cares it’s usually funny though) 😆Thanks!
what about the marshmallows?
