i haven’t been on here in a while so, whats with all the moderators and the fact that we can’t talk about what we want under this topic that everything has to be where the dust is coming from
You are more than welcome to talk about what you want…..just start a new thread.
Let’s keep on subject….the question is where the quarry dust is coming from.

It is the intention of us to use that PA whenever possible if allowed by the tracks that we are having an event at.
Wasn’t the PA system bought for the state series?
Aren’t the tracks running a state series?

Anybody that is 16 & up could have raced the pro am and qualified. Look at the ages 11-15 or even 12-15 look at their moto count. Im sure that the parents dont want to spend all that money to get nj1 out of what 2 maybe 3 riders. The only reason why victor has done the state series everyyear is simply becuase hes been nj 1 on both bikes every year but I think 1. Whats th eproblem with giving the kids more comp and prepairing them with what they need to push themselves farther.
I think its a good idea to have opens again, not putting down anyone for trying. But like what was said in another thread, they are already there, people just need to use them. But unless you can convince parents from other states to drive 2-3 hrs or maybe more to race in an open you are going to just have the same riders racing class as you have racing open.
You are also looking for people to have to pay more to race an open series, they would need to race class and open.
Another way to get the younger moto count up is to go out and recruit riders, promote the sport of BMX. The more riders that are brought in, the more riders to race.
I hope that there can be opens run at the state races because it would add to the excitement. I would also say maybe look at what Kevin posted about doing trophy dashes, could be another way of getting the riders to race different riders without the added expense. Something to think about.

How many of our “qualified” pro’s raced the cup this year?
How many of the 129 qualified riders raced the cup?
You can only lead a horse to water, you can’t make him drink…..
If I remember correctly the Pro/Am was a series that was put together to keep the older riders involved and not to just give them other riders to race.
I believe that there was something like 7 pro’s that were qualified to race the president cup this year for NJ, more than has been in along time.
First you say you know who did it, now you say your not sure. You need to make up your mind.
I have now officially grown tired of this thread.

I didnt say I have the video, i said I saw the video. When I was rushing around trying to figure out what was going on a parent that was filming their kid cought it on tape and showed me. It is at the bottom right corner but is still in plain sight. The only thing that is not in plain sight is who it was. That is where witnesses that saw the kid around his bike and playing with his front tire came in. Ive seen it done where it has taken a few minutes to blow out. The only way itl blow out right away is that if you stab it all the way through the tire and tube. If you get it through mostly the tire it wont blow right away.
Wow I didnt know I would be bashed for bringing up someones tire beeing slashed. Where was this site when we first started racing 6 years ago. people would have a bunch of questions and know why bmx has gone down hill so bad. I wish you were around last year when my 13yr old brother was beeing theatened to get killed by a 36yr old man at eht. Then someone would have maybe stepped up and said it was wrong instead of ignoring it.
Lets hope this isnt what people see when they tune in to the olympics.I don’t think that anyone has bashed you. You posted on here that you know who the person is that slashed your brothers tire and then you say you saw the whole thing on video. Now you say that you can’t see who it is and that people say they saw the person around his bike.
Do you understand that anyone could have done it. I wasn’t there but why would you come on and accuse someone of something that you did not see them do.
I don’t remember anyone posting on this site when your brother was threatened that they thought he deserved it or say anything bad. Once again I was not present to the event but I still do not think that it was appropriate that a man would need to threaten anyone that young.

….. After that he pulled his hand out of his pocket makes a sudden jab movment toward the tire. Than he walks off quickly and you hear a bang than he runs.
Wouldn’t the tire have popped when the person jabbed the tire and not after he walked away?

…. We know who did it and victor has to race him again, so it should be interesting.
Sure hope that nothing bad happens to the person the next time they race since you just posted it for everyone to read…..

…. DAMN reading this pisses me off!!!!!!!!!
I don’t know what happened and maybe before posting you should find out both sides of the story…..
Rumor that was heard down in VA was that there is a new State Clerk for NJ in 2008.
Can anyone confirm this?

Cathy’s resume had been sent to the State Commissioner a couple of days after the Banquet/Meeting.
We have talked about this for sometime after the State Clerk resigned and Cathy decided to give it a try.
We will see what happens.
Good to see new people stepping up…..
Any news on this topic…..
