Craig, what are ya talking about I literally blew up!
My appendix..that is… 😆CJ gives out the CJ Ferry award every year to someone who helps out above and beyond at the track.
Maybe each track should start something like that and we should just make a big deal out of it at the State Awards…like:
These 3 people (or more if more tracks come into existence…hehehehehe….he)
exemplify what it means to be a BMXer, who truly cares about the sport.
You can get little 8×10 plaques made up online for like 15 simoleans custom engraved.
Or….this would be a good thing for track directors to learn how to cooperate with each other, they each nominate a kid, then we sit em down with a moderator and let them chat it out themselves.
I am still a believer in productive, semi argumentative discourse.
As long as people can keep them thar egos in check.yea its got to be a hard decision…its no like it used to be when riders went to every track chasing points and everyone knew them…
how bout if each track has a rider of the month/ or week based on the criteria( sportsmanship, moving up a class, helping other riders, etc) then at the end of the season all these riders were put in a pool and the riders who race the championship voted for a rider of the yr from this list? i think someone organized this several yrs ago…
or each track can nominate a rider for the rider of the yr from their own rider of the week/month list( so there would ultimately be 3 to choose from ) then all the riders who race the championship voted on 1 of the 3… this would give you a rider of the yr.
as for each track announcing when riders just move up i dont know how registration works exactly w/moveup points… but i would assume they are the first person to know who moved up then the kids sign up for a local…if there is a clipboard at registration for parents to add thier child to then whoever is announcing can just grab it when they do the announcements before the race starts. then brett/ whoever takes the pics would have the ongoing list of new “move ups” to acknowlege. you can even add any riders who had a bday since they would be racing a new group of riders as well… jsut a thought.
dont forget the 10 novice class move ups we had 2 who are now 10-x one had first race as a 10x on tuesday night. had to move up 2 weeks before the grands.
but thats ok ! :wink:!no 22-29x?— i was pretty sure i had all my races in. i could be wrong– either way i’ll be there tomorow.
thanks again for all the work you have put into the state series this year— as well as bmx in general.
yep that’s me– no problem– thanks
can’t be perfect all the time
Thanks Janeen. I appreciate the kind words. I just want to be able to race the President’s Cup and help represent NJ. -Chris
