No shiat craig. Im 8/14 also.
I just say no to 40-44 and we create a Vet Pro Cruiser class 🙂Welcome. I remember seeing the young guns race alot at Flemington.
Danny was a name that was announced alot. It seems like all the hot Flemington (Petes Track) riders rode for Mr Stix or Petes Bike Shop.I seem to remember Danny riding for Mr. Stix. Just so long ago cant be sure. Post some pics of him when you find them. I swear he also rode a red and white with black checkered jersey also.
To be honest though the races went so fast I was usually in staging and missed alot of race action. So my memory could be off.
Tons of BMX Pros have used steroids over the years. I hate cheaters.
I personally believe most Pro baseball players and cyclists use illegal performance enhancing tools.The problem in BMX is its too expensive to police it. In cycling you cant win with out it (Roadie types) and in football and baseball how can you force entire teams of athletes with payrolls of like 1 trillion dollars to stop taking something that can help their team win.
When Mike Schmidt and Reggie Jackson and others allegedly started taking them, baseball shoulda have cracked down. Now its too late. The records that have been sacred for 100 years are now worthless.
For those that never lifted tell tale signs are extreme size growth in one year. Stretch marks, joint problems or liver problems. Wearing long sleeves to cover up stretch marks or your rapid size growth to make it less obvious.
For athletes like baseball players with a huge calorie burning lifestyle rapid muscle growth is impossible. Want to see who juiced BITD look for those signs and see their High School photos. Some guys like Greg Luzinski and Harmon Killabrew where just big ol boys. Others had a little friend. Another way to tell who was guilty is how they talk about Bonds. It is clear that Henry Aaron never juiced.
BTW when you see Aaron Rowand play he went to college downt he street from me. Go Titans (yeah some of them juice 🙁 )Dave will be back hes a BMXr at heart.
Beside how else can he start making his P… Bars?See if you guys just would have let Dave wear spandex at the track none of this woulda happened. Besides he had to get into road bikes, the BALCO pharmacy called and his shipment is in.
A guy I met thru work is there. His son is like 8X and top ten NAG. and is soo close to a factory ride from Redman or Answer. He said it is awesome place for a race. The Hotel and tack are in the same building. You can eat at one of several restaurants, even go see a movie and never have to leave the facility.
Im on myspace also but lol almsot never ever visit it till a thread like this comes up.
I also started racing Flemington in 1979, so my roots go back like Bretts. I never really left the sport though and raced in every decade.
I dont believe riders from SJ or the Jersey shore should be worrying about helping a track so far away. They would be better off getting more tracks going closer to home.I used to sometimes help rake or sweep turns at Vineland or Deptford. But I never worried about helping them run it since I believe thats up to the locals and more importantly up to those taking in the money.
Ive volunteered to announce and little things like that as you can, are enough.
Ive passed out trophy cards at ABA nationals with Gork. But I bet not a single person knows that. Sometimes riders do help and no one notices.Turnout is small for many reasons. Remember that big Track out here in Socal that got bought for around $100,000. I told you guys, if you scroll back, that he was making a bad move. Well I was talking to someone who has been out there and its still getting like under 10 motos a race. This is in SoCal the birthplace of modern BMX. Its ABA.
Just think had he used that 100,000 to buy 3 pieces of property in NJ and build 3 tracks. Bet he’d make more money AND he would actually own the land he could later sell. He coulda made all three BMXL tracks and helped start something big.I heard an interview the other day with this rodeo clown. No one would invest in a Professional Rodeo Association so he and 19 friends each chipped in just $1,000 and with that 20K started a now Multi-Multi Million Dollar Sanction. http://www.pbrnow.com/home.cfm#home
When I said rodeo clown I wasnt joking. He was just a rodeo clown but liek the other 19 investors they loved Rodeo and knew the sport and believed in what it could be. They think it will get even bigger then it is. He said he wont be satisfied if its not routinely on ESPN or ABC like other sports.What if a bunch of us put some money together along with some silent investors. Started a sanction that bought land and built tracks that had ramp areas. We held races and freestyle contests and our investment is partially if not fully backed by the land (Assuming it appreciates or we sell it as a business and not unimproved land).
Tap, Tap, Tap, is this thing on? Sorry, I’m just feeling as if life is coming to an end for me. NJ Pros that used to race like Charlie Litsky and Lee Veale
have already passed away. Tons of people complain about BMX and yet everyone just continues to feed the into the ABA and NBL and not into new venues for BMX. Will I die and never see BMX become popular. I want to die knowing at least I tried to change BMX. I can tell you if someone doesnt step up BMX will not grow they are simply doing it wrong.Hey thanks. The track was lengthed some. BITD there wasnt an S turn and if I remember the one video of it correctly after turn 3 it was the finish straight. The 4th turn was added after the early 80s.
$5 each plus shipping but if you cant afford that, then tell me what you can. Since your a friend of Robs.
BTW they are like new.
I will also throw in one free ’92 issue in GO Tear Sheets.
Tear sheets are what the magazine gets for proofing. Uncut and unstapled with registration marks for the printer.I have some Id sell. But I live in Cal so there’d be some shipping also.
