Great seeing the status quo being kept up Loren . Great job.
I am sorry but it says here Jim Thorpe was a player.The president Jim Thorpe, a former football and track star at the Carlisle Indian School (Pa.) and a double gold medal winner at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm, played for the Pine Village Pros in Indiana
HOLD ON THERE PARTNERS
It seems the NFL was created by the players. little NFL history1920
Pro football was in a state of confusion due to three major problems: dramatically rising salaries; players continually jumping from one team to another following the highest offer; and the use of college players still enrolled in school. A league in which all the members would follow the same rules seemed the answer. An organizational meeting, at which the Akron Pros, Canton Bulldogs, Cleveland Indians, and Dayton Triangles were represented, was held at the Jordan and Hupmobile auto showroom in Canton, Ohio, August 20. This meeting resulted in the formation of the American Professional Football Conference.A second organizational meeting was held in Canton, September 17. The teams were from four states-Akron, Canton, Cleveland, and Dayton from Ohio; the Hammond Pros and Muncie Flyers from Indiana; the Rochester Jeffersons from New York; and the Rock Island Independents, Decatur Staleys, and Racine Cardinals from Illinois. The name of the league was changed to the American Professional Football Association. Hoping to capitalize on his fame, the members elected Thorpe president; Stanley Cofall of Cleveland was elected vice president. A membership fee of $100 per team was charged to give an appearance of respectability, but no team ever paid it. Scheduling was left up to the teams, and there were wide variations, both in the overall number of games played and in the number played against APFA.

The American Professional Football Association changed its name to the National Football League, June 24 1922
walmart is evil
I agree totally. Its time for these people to go.
Happy Bday pabmxrcr708 😀
Thank you everyone !!!!! I had a great day. 😀
if you sit and let this just unfold . BMX WILL GO RIGHT BACK TO WHERE IT WAS IN THE TOILET. Just where Janeen and Linda and Morgan want it. That way they can skim the floaters. They need to go!
I would like to know what ridenlow has done for NJbmx. Since they are so quick to judge the people who are doing things. I ask you what have you done so far that has made an impact on the racing scene. I have seen a 5 thousand dollar grant brought to the organization by the riders. A new website created by Brett Middaugh that was stolen by Jeff Morgan.That is intellectual property by the way Jeff. A nice statement by Janeen. I laugh every time I say that. Being an artist, I have never felt the need to stake a claim on my intellectual property. That issue has not been finalized yet. The Hyper pro am that people are totally stoked about .
So ridenlow I challenge you to have the testicular fortitude to introduce yourself and state what you have done.
ChristineIts obvious that riden low is one of those slimy people that was at the meeting or informed through the grape vine on Saturday. It seems that they all hang together. Jeff Morgan Matt Danick Janeen should all resign these people are a cancer on NJ bmx. I also think Linda Vanderhoff should step down and let new people continue to grow the sport, The days of sour puss, chain smoking ,sneaky, nasty, people are over.
I call for resignation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Just for the record Brett has been asking for his officials license every time he goes to the track and there is always a reason he cant get it… Such as we cant find the paper work .. That was last weeks excuse. Stirring drama on the Internet is what The old guard does best. Brett Ant dog, BMX mom, Rich farside and many more have have made great changes in the past two years if you haven’t noticed. It was done with little or no help from the board and if anything, certain people on the board have done nothing but try to prevent positive change. Mostly out of fear of losing their stupid power trips.
That’s why if the track was made into a great asset and not just a waste of space the towns people will fight to keep it… FOR THE KIDS….Making friends in the town also helps.. cause most times its who you know.
