The meeting on the 10th is gonna be pretty big, not like the little thing at my house, that’s why I picked applebees as the back up.
We have EVERYTHING in place to do what we have to.
Craig you’re right, this has the potential to get REAL FUCKING NASTY, and if we just blow it up here, it’s not gonna work.
Bill, if this was me by myself trying this, it wouldn’t work, just like it wouldn’t work with just you or just Farside or just Richie Rich, (he is apparently down with the nickname…wish I could shake that douchebag one I am hung with…lol)
But 6-8 guys who have now know the rules (by-laws), have backing and have finally had it with the bullshit…well now that’s something.
And I ain’t saying they are just gonna roll over, I am saying that things are gonna change.
Because if you think that I will just go and do all this with you guys and get blasted when we are doing the right thing then you need to talk to Rod. The time to plan is the 10th, the time to act is in january.
And they better hope to hell that they do no try to play this meeting in secret or some shit, because there will be a whole new forum created just to deal with “NJ BMX”Thanks Rod,
I just realized that you probably know me longer than anyone here. Man…back to what 87-88? I don’t lie…so I won’t sit here and say a video game is in the works but I will PROMISE everyone that we have the backing to do what needs to be done, and enough motivated people to do it. My experience is primarily with freestyle where the attitude is “go the hell for it”. It took me 2 years to figure out how the nbl and NJBMX work, in that time I’ve listened and learned a lot.
And I have it figured out.
Freestyle- No rules, go for it.
Racing- Rules, follow them to get what you need. You have to follow the rules. That last sentence is very important.It also helps to have the media on your side and as long as you play by the rules the media is cool with what ya do. As long as you play by the rules.
Maybe the way the board is running things means they dont desever tracks….but I definately believe NJ deserves tracks.
Tons of em.We have done more in 8 months than most have in the last 5 years.
The january meeting will be a landmark event for everyone.
It will be where Janeen becomes
Clerk of course and thats all.
Nancy learns that keeping track of the books will be done promptly and correctly.
Lisa…will get a voice.
Scott will be shown we mean business.
and filippone, will be either unelected, put in his place or maybe we just make sure that when we leave there is PROPER representation of US.Landmarks, everything that we have been doing has led up to this.
I mean it when I say Rich and I have people that trust us to get things done right and to give us money to do so.And the thing I believe most from watching all you guys over the past year is that you have finally found your voice and are no longer afraid to “piss people off” in person. Dale showed me that on november 19th. We’re ready…which is probably why they are stalling on the meeting.
But I WILL be sure to get my point across to Scott and Vinny on Dec 8th at the CJ awards.Yes.
It costs money to have an event.
Flatlanders are more than capable of putting something together, but they lack the motivation to do it.
They are content with just riding, which is fine as well…Rod, Jacqui contacted me, I was gonna put her in touch with Animal, do you think that is cool?
I guess all opinions should be held until we see how all you guys do down there…
I mean if everyone shows up to work on this it should work out ok, no?I don’t think Chris is going to turn anyone away from helping, so therefore whatever day you can show, go and see what is going on.
I just wanted to say it’s great to see Dave step up like that, he’s a super nice dude and I’ll slip him a little something in the email tonight to say thanks!
Is it a “winter” thing or a temperature thing?
Temps have been pretty mild lately.
um…if we call this “warrior” anything it may have a tough time getting participants…lol…
warriors…come out and play….
I think it’s time to revisit that BMX must evolve thread and start to take action.
I think Rich just touched me, because I feel the same way.
Carolan and Lamb were right.
We have enough motivated men and women who know all different points of view and have the best interest of all of BMX at heart.
No more waiting till the next meeting.I think older experts are ok….now come on guys, did we not all look up to Ellis, Loncarevich..etc BITD?
Jeesh….that’s what I was thinking of when Dave said that…
every friday and sunday baby…
can HC do friday nights?
I mean we could make it just a “open spectacular” with some cool stuff to bring in newbs..
maybe an hour of 2.00 practice, bring your kid, talk to the top guys and watch them get busy.LOL. (dang it man, you weren’t supposed to look it up!)
Friday nights….
yea….
I like that, that sounds like the shit!
Seriously, under the lights, some music, make something like an event.
Friday night open spectacular series?
