Ok...not all of them. Matter of fact, most are pretty awesome, but it's a couple of a--holes that seem to ruin the flavor. Over the last 5 years, the local BMX racing scene has been growing, with a lot of the work being done by a few. Those who's Moms and Dads who have donated their time out there know....
Ron Ping for example was a guy that loved BMX. I can't tell you how many times I'd show up to the track and it be race ready in the middle of the week and you could find Ron doing something to spruce up the track, i.e. painting the fence, mowing, etc. The man's gate that he built from scratch still is in use! I don't think he did it for the glory or fame...it was something the man did for the love of the sport.
Fast forward 10+ years. You have a few that still live up to the legacy he left behind. Yet, there are a few douche bags that want to crap all over everything. Over the 27 years I've raced out there, I've seen them come and go. All they care about is lil' Johnny and that's it. It's not about making the program better, or making BMX better...it's pure selfishness plain and simple. These people think because they have deep pockets, that others are going to just bend over and let them get a free ride...ha!
Anyway's...I just needed to vent...
BMX...a three letter acronym for fun!!! whoooo
