promote bmx in general. — getting people out to a big race is one thing, getting kids away from thier playstations and onto a bike is another, or hanging around 11 moto locals that they have to drive an hour for is another.
seriouslly– with the olypic thing on the horizon, tracks should be sprouting up like pot plants in jerry garcia’s yard. the powers that be, could be running with this while they have the chance. i personally don’t think that the olympics are a save all, but to towns that don’t understand what bmx is, they can say ” well well well, an olympic sport in our town….”
if we want racing big– we need more tracks– bill has put in the time and work and has one in the works. there is a practice track that will be up soon. we are heading in the right direction. but how can we expect parents who aren’t into riding themselves to drive an hour to get somewhere to even practice, when they can drop thier kids off 5 min from home for more conventional/mainstream sports.
the cards are stacked against us, they realy are
