Tidey, FWIW, Colin turned Novice last week at Flemington. I had told him it was up to him if he wanted to move up voluntarily. He gave the go ahead on the way to the track. As luck would have it, he ended up racing his younger brother (6 Novice) and an 8 expert (he finished 2nd).
Hey, that looks almost as long as Flemington!
Thanks Ant. Sometimes its gotta be put into perspective. Its BMX, if it aint fun, your trying too hard.

I HAVE A HERO…
He doesn’t pull holeshots,
clear triples,
or have a full factory sponsorship…
MY HERO DIED FOR MECraig, my kids are running 41-16 gears-they are 6 and 8. Colin (8) can pull 42-16 at HC, but he says he likes the 41. The 8 year old is on 150mm cranks, I just ordered a set of 140’s for the 6yr old to try out. Dotek cranks are only like $30 from Dan’s or J&R. They were both on 155’s until a few weeks ago. I am certainly no expert at this either, alot of it has been other people’s advice and some research and alot of trial and error! If you bring him out to HC he can certainly try out my kids bikes. Kyle has a mini, Colin has an expert which he is finally growing into. Both Haros, FWIW.

“14 Draught Beers on Tap”…any questions!
Pete, you looked pretty good from my point of view…wait a minute, thats not what I meant 😯 Pretty fast? I see enough of your backside on this site, you old school racers are starting to pee me off!!! Don’t worry though, I am learning this race thing and one of these days…just watch yourself pal!
Its great to be able to race with and learn from you guys. Wish I would have been there BITD!
LorenThat sucks. We found a brand new blue mini cruiser Sunday AM on one of the baseball fields, returned it to Chip n dale. Nothing else though. Good luck!
The family and I are going. First time out for us. From what I have heard, a great track and alot of fun.
LorenTidey…not your fault. When the gate drops the BS stops. Unfortunately, I stopped too!
Proposed ammendment 1: All tracks(NJ first, obviously) shall have lanes clearly painted on starting hills. 😡 Dont ask me why this is important!
LorenWe all had a great time. I got POed, yelled, apologized, got POed, missed gates, protested and generally had horrible results, but you know what…I had a great time, the track was excellent, the people were great. Thanks to all who made it a great event.

BTW, Craig hitting the motorhome had to be the highlight!Last year was my (and family’s) first state awards, but we all had a blast at the Incline. I thought the hoodies were great. The 3 racers in my family all bought jerseys even though we had no intention of going to the Presidents cup. We try to wear them whenever we go to a non state race since we are not on any team. Overall, I thought it was all good.
Speaking of the Presidents Cup, the only suggestion I would have would be a bit more cooperation/organization among NJ racers that are going to the race. I havent been to one, but it seems like everyone just goes on their own and sees who shows up. Even a simple contact list of whos going might be good. May even encourage people to go. Sort of like a team! I think as a state, we are small enough that we could/should all work together as a family.
Its the people like Lisa that make this sport. Thanks Lisa 🙂
