Yeah… its shows with all his NBL and state bashing that he does

And what point is that, it seems that this is just another desperate attempt of his to bash the NBL

Define this “bashing” thing that many people like to speak of.
Pointing out deficiencies, problems, inconsistencies and the like is not bashing.
Asking questions is not bashing.
The inability to have a discussion and argue and defend a point usually leads one to fall back on saying they are being “bashed”.
I have been “bashed”, I have been told I was stupid and an idiot to my face at a nbl board meeting for the simple fact that I was bringing forth a grant to the state. Which I would like to add has been given. I have been told what we are attempting to do here, which is give the masses a place to voice their opinion and let their thoughts be known is the worst thing to happen to BMX in NJ.
The facts are plain and simple. The nbl has dropped the ball, Bill is going to go in a different direction with his track and this time there is a place where people can go and get an unbiased opinion on what is going on. If someone thinks something sucks at Bill’s track when he gets done, well guess what, he will take it into consideration, not stick his head in the sand and say everything is fine. I have a feeling Bill’s…no I’m sorry, it is actually his wife Diane ALSO an ex-BMXer who will be running the track, track will be built and ran for the AVERAGE rider not as a practice track for the “nationals”.
Bill asked a lot of questions, was vocal with his opinions and now he and his wife 2 REAL BMXers have gone and done what we should all be doing, opening a place for the riders to ride.
Bill was flown across the country to build tracks for the aba, LOCAL tracks.
We, the riders know that nbl, aba, does not matter, it is the people running the tracks that matter. We will go and promote the tracks that welcome the riders, and WE will show people how this is done.
BMX was started by rebellious, creative teenagers and it will be RUN by those same teenagers who are now adults.
In closing I tire of this word “bashing”. Although I am sure that England would have loved to have used it against Thomas Paine.
ya’all be cool.
