promo is all well and good.. i just think to get kids ( you WERE talking about kids and getting kids into the sport) you have to have more tracks… like 1 in ea county would be nice.. i like the practice track idea but like i said to travel 2 hrs for a kid who saw a flyer in a bike shop…thats going to be a hard sell on a parent. maybe the older riders who drive will do it but for a parent who has 3 kids in other sports the ride from just say budd lake to eht is a hard sell…

you can promote all you want… for example the other day we had dans jr conference in hs ( meet w/counselor and discuss college etc) he asked about the bmx as he is new this yr and dan explained it… “there are 3 tracks in nj, where they are etc..” the guy says you go all the way down THERE?? and he is pretty young in his 30’s too…. he thought it was great but the ques again..”how the heck did you find out about that?”..its the distance that seems to scare people off…

ok get a track in each county maintained by the parks/rec systems ( like baseball fields) a riding tracklike the one in that short clip..then you will see tons of kids ( and older guys acting like kids…lol thats for you brett)
swarming the place…

i really liked that riding park what a great idea
