those of you who know me know i am going to say whats on my mind..what you see is what you get. no bs. i really dont care who agrees with me or not. i have been involved in the sport ( as a parent volunteer) for over 11 yrs so that gives me the right to say my peace…
ok as i am reading this and referring to the other post i see that some people are reading WAY too much into that post… it appears that 2 riders made a mistake by not informing the other rider in the moto that they would not be racing… the lone rider got screwed by not having anyone to race…he then posted a topic on it on the official njbmx site and the person in registration responded as to why it was combined the way it was, discussion ensueing after that…. i didnt see that the registration people were “acting as the lone person in charge” or whatever…i think you all need to chill out and stop jumping on the first person that offers an explaination you dont agree with…
there are many faults in the system…the people in registration dont make the rules they just explained them to whomever asked the question.
your anger would better be directed to the powers that be…the nbl. they made the race class/ race open for ams rule…( i am assuming)
the direction this topic is going is not(in my opinion)contributing to the growth of njbmx. ( new ppl here every day) this is not little league and you all are reminding me of those overzealous soccer moms ( thats right the reason my son and many bmxers chose individual sports.
i am starting to feel like i am listening to a 4th grade argument in gym class…”i was first..no i was here first”..yada yada.. it gets old…
just my 2 cents, sorry.
thats all i have to say on that.even though i am a parent( not a rider) and that according to some people this does not give me a right to an opinion on the subject…facts are parents fork over the $$ for their riders ( 75% of the rider population i think) so that does give us the right to voice an opinion.
Best post I read all morning!!!
