brett you can just say it was done for “medical reasons”…

looks like a good reason to wear race pants/leathers

looks like that random gate was giving a few some trouble.(arielles blog) apparently mtb-ers had some experience with it already( jill) and some of the other countries as well( why didnt usa have our guys/gals on it before is beyond me) plus she mentioned the european women all train/race on supercross tracks so that clearly may have been an issue. that track/starting hill was wild. too bad about bubba he has hit some bad luck this yr for sure. congrats to dr! if anyone finds a vid of the elite main that is smooth( the one i found posted is choppy as hell/ stops and goes dosnt run all the way thru) please post. thanks.

you only need 3 state quals and 10 locals. if you have more than 3 state qualifiers you can always use 1 as a local you can also use a bob warnicke race as a local too.

look on the njbmxforum site all the way to the bottom is the “state series requirements” list

sorry not diaz it was shanaz reade…boy that chinese news announcer has got to go!!! lol

[bmxmom156]

look on each track websites schedule just glancing i can see at least 4-5 races left for ea track betw now and oct. eht even has a double race this thurs ifyou want to do a 2 for 1 race night.(their last thurs night race) flem this sat, they have at least 3-4 im sure pottstown website has thiers up too… cj has 4 races left as well… there is no excuse for not getting them in theres still time left.

if your knee is still not up to racing just roll the gate to get the race in.. this yr they made the championship in oct to help folks out with getting locals in im sure it was a lot easier so hopefully they keep it that way. just do the last qual in eht in sept to be sure.

dave how many qualifiers have you done so far?

[bmxmom156]

the music /sound system is the attn getter along with the announcing…

[bmxmom156]

also thanks to the other sponsors that kick in the extra $$ at every race..it seems to be getting more and more popular plus the extra raffles and prizes are a plus…

dave go to the nj forum

http://www.njbmx.org/forum/index.php

then go to the top one says state series

then go down to ‘state series standings thru 7/11’ im sure they will have howells added in and up fairly soon. nancy already has the team standings updated as of today.

i dont know why i cant find it on the nj bmx website, but this is where i go to see when its updated . janeen puts it there i guess its easier having the state results all in one place.

brett i asked about this exact question this past weekend at howell…

at any nbl race you are required to race class to race a money open …no matter if its local, state, regional or national.

the key word being money open. if you look at the grands registratoin there is 16 over money open and also “amature open” which is no money open.

i was told that the pro am series was just that …a series with a points total and required amt of races. for those who didnt do the required amt of races in class in order to race the $ open there will be the “amature open” class for them to race. just what i was told.

this is what ct does with their” warrior open series “which is very successful. check out the finishes/ points totals at http://www.foothillsbmx.com they have over 20 ppl who do some of the races at some point in the season but only 10 did the required amt and raced the championship for the $$ in the end.

[bmxmom156]

when is the next one does anyone know?

[bmxmom156]

bill glad to hear thats what it was instead of something else… its supposed to be the worst pain ( next to childbirth of course..lol)you can go thru… did you pass the stone? my husb likes tanquray i will tell him to keep the stock up for ya…

[bmxmom156]

airport ff- will anyone from your area who is involved in getting this track started be at the howell race this weekend? might be a good idea for those who havent been to a larger( larger than a local) race to come and see how organized they are and how well it is run. (maybe meet the commish, etc other parents involved)

just a suggestion

[bmxmom156]

the toboggan ride down from the great wall of china looked pretty cool… except for the slow lady in front….haha

[bmxmom156]

brett read arielles blog/ video…i think she said on the 1st day they were walking around there was this grandmother who was “marking her spot” on a tree while holding her grandaughter by the thighs( i can only imagine) who was doing the same. apparently they dont even do what we do here in usa( plastic baggy the droppings of your pet) but they do it as HUMANS.

like i said their cleanliness/hygeine habits leave much to be desired

the video clips are short and very interesting she is going to try to post every day. start reading its really cool. now i know 1 place i will cross off my vacation list forever….
