I shall ask for this to be present at the january meeting because I am sure I will need it to get the donations from the foundation I have solicited to give us money for the things we need.

[bmiddaugh]

This is how we do this.
They have till the 15th to get the majority of the track done…
They=Chris, Rich, Dave…whomever…

At that time, we will start calling things out.
Money, loaders, dirt, whatever got fucked up that could have EASILY been avoided.
And you take them apart, it’s sad but what do you do… just let people run roughshod over stuff?
That is NOT right.
7 days.

[bmiddaugh]

Sounds like this place..lol

[bmiddaugh]

I’m at a loss to understand this at all.
A. Willing people are there.
B. He has the contacts to get equipment.
C. He has dirt lined up.
D. He has an experienced operator.
E. He has several people who have an idea how a track should be built in this day and age.

This has been going on for apparently a week now.
What has been the course of events?

[bmiddaugh]

Rich
can you direct me to some websites where there are costs for daily rental of earth moving machines?

[bmiddaugh]

who wants to go to eht’s yahoo group and put it out there?

[bmiddaugh]

LOL,
Tell less you’ll be there if you can run the machine….better yet grab Dave and Whiley and push up on him. Go to his house tonight, I’m serious.

Vinnie and Scott are making an attempt to alleviate the “situation on the nj board”

[bmiddaugh]

Dealing with Les is rough.

Why?
WHY
WHY freaking why?

What is the problem?
There are 5 in shape bad ass 35+ men here who know their shit and you are all being pushed around by an dude who is a fisherman!!!!

I don’t hate les but he is stuck and needs some pushing…

[bmiddaugh]

Rich….
quite frankly you are not mature enough to use a front end loader on a BMX track.
Sorry.

😆

[bmiddaugh]

eht will only be solved by dealing with les and linda directly.
This can’t be done by one person, whether it is Chris or Rich.

If Dave, Whiley, Rich, s4lnj(Dave) all get together and roll up on les and say
“look, we want to fix the track right, we all talked and it seems a loader for 2 days will cost 1,000 and that is what we need. can eht supply the funds to get this done?”
If their reply is no.
Then you have to ask the question directly to them.
Why the hell not?

Ya gotta push up on them…

[bmiddaugh]

Rich, in your professional opinion is this because there is not enough people there to help or they do not have the proper equipment to do the job?

Bill,
How long and how many people does it take to build an aba track for a national?

[bmiddaugh]

It is my point of view that no one questioned anything going on in BMX for a long time.
People seem to have come up with an “ask someone else the rules”. Instead of asking themselves, “what should the rules be?”

I was told at one point this year that I was not, at 40 years of age, mature enough to handle a BMX racing website. I took these lumps because I felt it was best for NJ BMX, who cares if my ego gets beat up a bit in the process.

I really have no understanding of the way things are run in this “racing” part of the BMX world. Freestylers forge ahead and progress and try new things, I figured racers, i.e. BMXers had the same ideals.
They do, but they look to others for “permission” to do what is, without a doubt in my mind, the right thing.
This “revolution” started at CJBMX, because the riders, the track operator and volunteers, and those who actually STARTED the whole damn thing, took it upon themselves to act in unison to start a wave that will progress from Howell, across NJ, and will not stop till the people who are running BMX listen to those who ride BMX.

Yea, I type a lot, no I can’t be at every track raking every turn, but SOMEONE out there has to be looking out for BMX and making the people who ARE raking turns, racing, announcing, and doing the doing, feel like they ARE DOING SOMETHING SPECIAL.
CJ took a chance and opened up to what I was about with open arms. The people on this site have the same ideals and they are ALL OVER NJ. Welcome them and things will take a quantum leap in a positive direction.
How many times this year did I hear, “we don’t have enough volunteers”…
How much promotion was put into getting people to help.
0
I hear “I’m ready to quit”. Damn, even I say it…but I say it because I WANT POSITIVE CHANGE to happen sooner than later and it gets very frustrating waiting for those who don’t want to do what they are doing to get it rolling.
If you’re ready to quit because you get critiscized then quite frankly, Bill is right, you are not mature enough to handle being in charge.

Because being in charge puts you in a position to GET YOUR ASS CHEWED OUT, by the general public.
I should know, I was the chewee in september (did I just make a star wars referance?).
I sucked it up.
Cause it didn’t matter.
BMX mattered.

[bmiddaugh]

Look, I talked to Jessica, (jaylamoon) and she was all defending them and I softened her up to the point that she said she could get a meeting between all of us.
I also said to her, just tell les to loosen up and get the guys the machines they need.

Use the 1,000 and do it right.
I am guessing nothing has come of that, cause no one has the balls, to say WTF are you doing?

I will say this right now, when CJ does its track changes I will make damn sure that it is posted here, cjbmx.org and if the site is allowed to be up njbmx.org.
with a plan
pictures
and writeup as we go along.

[bmiddaugh]

LMAO

[bmiddaugh]

Dale, Vinny and Scott have some news, I can call ya later.
I really find it petty that they have gone to those punk ass yahoo groups to hide.
