Wow, everyone is moving in a more positive direction….

That’s real right…not photoshop’d….. 😀

Congratulations bro, it’s a proud moment when you move up a class, win or lose.

crummy old

Hey I resemble that remark!

1 for a track operator.
1 for a member of the board.

I worded this sort of improperly when I first posted it.
Since some of you bust your butts to make sure the riders are rewarded, it’s time for some of the riders to reward those who bust their butts for us.

People are complaining to the wrong person, and quite frankly complaining and doing nothing never gets anything done. People complained about the njbmx site, did anyone ever think to just go talk to Jeff Morgan about it? I didn’t, ’cause I didn’t have the “testicular fortitude” to do it. Amazingly enough when I actually did, Jeff was open to everything, and you’ll see how open come next year.
People complain about where the money goes, well, I attended a state meeting and there in b&w was a detailed expense report accounting for everything.
People complain about not knowing what’s going on, well…complain to me, I have sort of taken on that responsibility.
People complain about tracks in NJ, but do they take the 15 minutes to just talk to the officials at the track? Do they show up to help out, submit track designs? I do…ok well maybe I talk for more than 15 minutes, but I’m old, my mouth moves a lot.
Part of the new direction is less complaining and more doing.
I expect people to start showing up at the tracks, registering and when they get done, immediately asking, “How can I help out?”
If you have a problem or want to know something and don’t know who to ask, ask me and I will get someone who can help you.
I, Me, Brett, want more people actively involved in doing.
And…and this is very important, when you do help, do it because you are just stoked to help out BMX, not because you think you will be owed anything after you help.
Maybe that’s why, even after all this craziness, the people on the board and at the tracks still talk to me, because I ask for nothing but to help.
Everyone who types on the keyboard here, should be doing the same.

[bmiddaugh]

I do what I can to help, but I would like to take that help to the next level.

If you want to step up and be heard on the CJ video, your last chance will be October 1st at CJ. I’m looking for a few parents, some kids, and jumping the back doubles.
Thanks for everything and this vide will be premiering Nov. 18th at the awards banquet.

[bmiddaugh]

You’re doing a positive thing, spelling will come in time…though I know Janeen is cringing. :wink:!

[bmiddaugh]

Until we can get a place to build tracks this will be dead in the water.
I hold out hope only for practice tracks to get kids places to ride.

[bmiddaugh]

I will contact some people I trust completely, in this matter.
Chris and Frank have the best idea. Go promote BMX.
This topic is now
locked.

grab a shovel and broom a mic something besides running your complaint department

done (mostly at CJ, I live nearby)
done (mostly at CJ, I live nearby)
and done (only if Dulock is tired, I’m not stepping on his toes he’s bigger than me)
and zine
and site
and several other things (I can tell ya all about that too, but yadda yadda)
nah, ya know what..after this weekend, I will…
and CJ’s site
and the video for CJ
and working with Jeff on the ’07 site
lol… in fact as I was keeping track of all the stuff here I was working on posting the pictures for last weekends race at CJ and the top twenty winners..
and getting a way to get our spring series points together (just a simple excel thing)
say what you want
actions speak louder than anything, you’re right and I’ve also pointed out when people are out there taking care of the tracks, so they get recognition (one of the things that got me in trouble earlier in the year, thankless job…not unthanked….note to self, have Janeen check grammar more often)
I’m Brett Middaugh
Pleasure to meet you.
Who are you?

[bmiddaugh]

I’ve talked to everyone involved with this track, and they have given me nothing but respect. In order to get that you must give that.
Call an emergency meeting and I will guarentee you will see renewed enthusiasm to solve any matters that are occuring, and if for some bizarre reason it once again takes me showing up to keep everyone relaxed I’ll be there.
BMX
is
all
that
matters.

[bmiddaugh]

hmmm…
maybe this one will be even funnier…
and Jeff Morgan is my Morpheus
(for those Matrix fans out there..)
