This isn’t meant to bust anyone’s chops or anything but I’ve just been wondering about this for awhile.
When I came back and was invited to my first state meeting in Feb of 2005. The people there were asking Jeff Morgan where the state champion jackets from 2004 were. It seemed like the order wasn’t placed or something. Anyhow I know these snafus occur now and then but I was just wondering how this happened. Can anyone tell me what was going on that might make those jackets so late? From all the planning that goes on for our current state stuff it seems like this was a major oversight.
I just don’t want to see any boo boos like that happen again.WHy ya gotta be like that!!!!!
Sounds like corruption
I will say the jackets were really cool we got that year
Haaaaa, probably, because they are not or never were members, they may be on one of the yahoo sites for NJBMX, discussing brownies
from what i remember, there were two people doing the jackets that year. the ball was dropped. the order was placed and jackets were sent as soon as they were received
i think what happened was in the beginning of the yr someome stepped up to the plate and was in charge of the jackets/ state awards/pres cup jerseys..then as the season ended this person was no longer in volved with the workings of the state and low and behold there was no one doing the jackets/ ordering getting sizes etc so jeff stepped up and took over with whatever info was given him. i think that year the pres cup jerseys were forgotten about as well maybe the same person was in charge…?
this is what happens when someone offers to help then for whatever reason they dont come thru…. maybe thats the reason some of the state “old timers” are reluctant to be as enthusiastic as most of the newbies on here….( by that i mean new to the workings of njbmx) after being burnt a few times by people who come out with guns blazing to have that job put back in thier lap again…well its hard to let someone new take over certain things…. i can see thier hesitancy with this type of thing.. commitment is tough to come by and finishing what you started is even harder it seems in the world of bmx…
Or, maybe as some of the new timers are finding, that when they offer, it’s yeah great, then the great wall of china comes up, and halt
just trying to maybe shed some light on why things are the way they are… so as not to repeat history over again…
i dont remember but i think it was just well intentioned volunteers who just maybe got in over their heads…
brett did you get one of the older cj satin jackets with the big embroydered flying insane wayne racing on the back?
haha that was the best!! danny has one thats like a super duper XXXS the design goes all the way from the collar to the waist band!
at the time they were the jacket to have… hey everytime dan looks thru his old bmx stuff box he takes it out and says its the nicest jacket he has….well flemington one year did those varsity jackets with the leather sleeves..they were pretty cool too…..
