bmxmom156Memberno racing for him for now. i believe he is in the airforce. from what i heard he is doing very well. i was told officers training or something like that? i am not familiar with military info but just what i was told.
bmxmom156Membervictor is getting a great deal, more than most i am sure… any level of sponsorship is awesome, esp in this day and age.

those were the days….
“moto #1 on the hill, big wheel races… in gate 1 we have…litte petey hes only 3 and he got first place last week….”
bmxmom156Memberyes that is correct. the payout is for top 3 cash($30-20-10) depending on your finish. dan is very good friends with a rider who gets pd for his top 3 main finish. not entry fee( $45-50)
bmxmom156Membercmr does this depending on how you finish you get cash… i believe you have to finish top 3…it may be like 30-20-10 or something like that.
there are others im positive.. i will ask dan when he gets home
remember cybercycles? they did it at one point.
when we had our national team(njr) i used to pay for everyones entry regardless if they were a main maker or not.if we got entry fees pd for by a sponsor( corporate) for a particular national anyone who raced that race had their race fee pd. regardless of our team finish too…i remember back then kids used to come up to us and ask if they had to make the main to be on our team… i was suprised…apparently it is still the custom today
bmxmom156Memberagree with the above… in the past the factory teams did sponsor their riders that way…
there are factory teams that pay for main finishes ( team sheets finishes etc) depending on how the rider performs, then there are factory teams that dont do team sheets at all. they rely on their riders promotion to sell bikes, etc and dont have any pressure on them as compared to above. then there are the far and few between that sponsor riders like dr and kb and pay for plane fare etc…..i think thats what brett was referring to.
there are many national teams that are not considered “factory” teams but they still pay their riders for their main finishes.. i am hearing more and more tms doing this. personally i think it puts too much pressure on the riders ( esp the young ones) but thats just me..kind of puts a $$ worth on a rider then what happens when he falls and didnt make the main? how to explain this to a younger rider?? its not like he didnt try his best…

carley young welhelm bikes( sp?)?bmxmom156Memberbmxmom156Memberi think what it means its worth different things depending on what you use the race for
such as a regional used for national points( you are allowed 2 correct) is single points
but if you use a regional for regional points its worth quadruple points.
if the chart you pasted is stretched out with the columns/ heading above it …it would make more sense.. i dont keep track of regional points anymore but i know in the past certain races like state and bob w were worth more than a local( double ?) and then championships were worth triple? something like that.
so a regional is worth different points depending on what you use it for… thats all. dosnt seem like anything has changed if i am reading it correctly.
i could be wrong though. call the nbl office tomorrow if you want to know for sure..
bmxmom156Membercongrats to victor..hes worked hard for the ride…. good luck in 08!!
bmxmom156Memberlove the fireplace
