Reply To: Hey guess how many riders helped

I’d like to see some of these older guys who show up to practice and then don’t race, stay after the races and help out to get things done at the track. That’s the whole point of everything that is trying to be done in BMX racing. I know they always want to help when the track is getting rebuilt with the jumps and all but having them do more than that would be good for the sport.
I’ve heard some people say that the 17-25 guys don’t wanna do stuff, they just wanna race and not have to deal with the inner workings but if anyone is gonna respect ya, you can’t just say, I want this and then not do some work.
We need that age group to set the example on and off the track.
I’m not really bagging on em, but I think we need some ideas on how to make them realize they are really needed to work on the track.
Does anyone have a sort of clue what I am talking about?

The answer to my question is yes, a couple riders were there and it’d be cool if there was a lot more.
