I remember the Jag worlds at Indy on the concrete, when they televised it, that was the song they used when they broke to the commercial, AWESOME!!!!!

Working on it Rod

[RaidenHayden]

Oh yeah, and just make it fun for the kids, no matter who runs it, and it will grow. That was my point

[RaidenHayden]

Rod, you me and Pawson just need to go riding and hit a bar afterwards, all will be good!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NJ disclaimer

No Ant Dogs were hurt in the making of this vid, and rubber fish were used so as not to offend anyone!!!!!

Yep, Football, and Nascar both at one point were run by the participants, however somewhere along the line, someone came along and took it to the next level, and both have more spectators than BMX, and more corportate sponsorship, hence more money for growth, than BMX. And if you look at little league football who runs that? Not the players, but parents.

My point is that, if it is just fun to go to the local track, the local scene will grow, and the rest will take care of itself. I think one day someone will come along who will figure out the formula the will expand the sport, just as in football and nascar

OK here goes, I think all of you kinda missed the point, and no this isn’t pot shots at anyone. Like I said “anyone wonder why”, well not because riders took over, but what is missing that seems to still be in just plain frestyle and riding, is FUN!!!!

To some degree I think Brett and Ant are right, riders need some more say, but Mac is right, having riders run things isn’t the answer either.

The answer is make it fun, and have a good product (track, sanction), I think if you got a businessman who could market the fun factor of racing, it would be huge. Remeber, the people that really got the sanctions and tracks going in the beginning weren’t all riders, they were riders parents, bike shop owners and firemen (Bob Osbourne), what did they know about BMX then, nothing!!! But they knew that their kids were having fun and others saw it, and it grew!!

At Howell last week I had a blast, I want to go back, why FUN!!

All of you think about that, cause that IS what the riders want.

We are just getting ready to close up the operations center now!
