well, i'm sitting here pondering the meaning of VMX, yes I know it's 2 days till Christmas and I'm a sorry arse, but where do we go from here. I dont get it, I watched mates pass and the void gets bigger, is more of the same the anwser and does anyone see the merit of more class's for the sake of it, the future is in our hands, or am I just a sad old bastard wanting more of the same and less of we do or die crap for every new class.
and i think every race in Aus should be a min of 10 minutes plus 1 lap.
grumpy Worms, and Merry Christmas

Too much rain up your way Trev ;) and more to come. ;) and a Cherry Xmas to you also. stewart
-
Eat some more dirt Trev....maybe sprinkle some fertilizer on it...it'll brighten your day up.. ;D
-
80cc class needs to be added to get the kids to come along...or the bigger kids to hurt themselves ;D
-
bugger the kids, they can have a go when where dead ???
anyone under 35 should be banned until they grow-up, bloody kids!
Cheers Worms, 2 days till Christmas

I agree with you Trev, that any moto at an Australian title event should be at the very minimum 15 minutes long. Otherwise it is just sprint races and devalues the importance of the title . But the best way to fit longer races into an already crowded program is to split the Nats into two events , as proposed to MA by Col Metcher. A split at pre '78 and earlier seems the logical place and Firko has written about this in his column in the latest VMX magazine. I know that I will never ride Evo class at a Nats again, until there is an age group system in place, as it is pointless racing against ever increasing numbers of younger guys that are going to kick your arse every time. I think that the only way capacity age group classes in Evo can be fitted in, is at an Evo and later Nats.
As for the addition of any other classes, one that I would like to see is an Evo fourstroke class. The poms run a twinshock fourstroke class at their events and it seems fairly popular. Its only a matter of time before pre '90 classes will be added as well . I would not like to see kids on 80s at vintage meetings , but if ever they were allowed , they should have to be on period vintage 80cc machines.

The whole truth is that I think Trev ought to get some counselling. I know that he's a good bloke, but whatever it is that he's struggling to deal with (and its clearly not just the challenges facing the sport of VMX) is also clearly bringing a lot of hassles into his life.
I'm not going to lecture you Trev, and I'm not going to entertain any "there's nothing wrong" vs "yes there is" arguments. Everyone can see that you're not in a good place, and its a shame.

;D Nathan
so we are to start a new year with more of the same! Yippee!
Cheers sad old Worms, how does a worm get counselling?
-
Maybe I'm a bit thick but I have no idea what you're on about Trev. Please stop inventing new things to worry about, chill out and enjoy Christmas. :-\
-
you should be happy trev as we all end up worm food :D
-
Cheer up Worms . :)
-
ok ok enough, your cracking me up!
just read 44 VMX and firko's on the money, he see's the light.
and I thought i was allright, bugger me, I will have to go the Doc! or the Dogs.
You guys read far too much into a bit of tounge and cheek!
Cheers Worms
-
Thank goodness for that. For a minute there, I thought I had misread the initial post . I took it as a comment on the state of the future of VMX, rather than the state of Worms mind ???. Seems to be more than a few backyard psychiatrists on this forum ;).
-
Seems like you all want a split in the Nats ,which would solve these issues.You just need to ensure you're clubs and state bodies act on your wishes.This is only a forum ,not a decision or policy making body.PM me if you want a copy of the proposal.Firco's VMX column [current issue] puts the case well.

I hope not.
Try your GP, or there's tons of people to ring.
I'm serious - this is not a shot at you or anything of the sort.
H5E, yep... I don't expect Worms to do anyhing about it, but maybe it will be the first prod in the right direction for him. And at least this way I won't be guilty of not saying anything if he continues on the same path.
-
I find that a good old fashioned trail ride on your fave bike brings some of the fun back into the sport of off road motorcycling. A few like minded mates and a weekend away to play in the dirt, do a few doughnuts and carve up some trails for s#$ts and giggles. It reminds me of why I got into bikes in the first place.
-
ah yes, the path to redemption ;)
can I have 10 minutes plus 1 lap with that?
Now youve got me worried about you Nathan, look, drink 6 Corona's and have a good lie down.
Is doctor Phill in the house?
Cheers, Worms, oh the stress! and Merry christmas to you too Stewart, now where was I?
-
Ok I'll be seroius just for one post! at the sake of annoying Firko.
as we head to another year of VMX, with new committees running clubs, are we all so lazy as to allow more of the same, meaning, get off your arses now and disscuss now with your clubs if you do or dont want changes to the current format for championships, I know I am and I will not sit on my hands,
there is a big void in VMX, and it's lack of direction, and the truth and the whole truth bit is about MA giving some value to VMX for national titles, it's their event, they make the big bucks, they should get of their arses and say, yeah 3 lap races are a sprint not a championship, maybe they should be called sprint titles? MA controll it and MA set the rules so they should be able to make a clear decision, easy really
sorry for the earlier posts that were in cryptic, and to Nathan, I will seek help when you reach 40!
merry Christmas, :'(worms :'(

Trev.....Why would you want to annoy me? There's only a couple of people in this world that annoy me and you're not one of them......YET. I think we all get your message now Trev, apparently you want 15minute + 1 lap motos for the Nats. Cool, we get the message and most agree with you. Now give it a rest......please? ???
Before we even think about the length of the races we need to endorse Col Metchers proposal to split the Nats. Without a split, race lengths are stuck where they are due to the inherent time constraints. You're jumping the gun on your one man mission without considering what needs to be done first. You know quite well we can't fit longer races into the current format so why not use that pent up nervous energy of yours to lobby for the split. ;)
You're thinking waaaaay too hard about this Trev......now go and enjoy Christmas.
-
Ok ,
but would you rather talk about what type of lawnmower :o I've got? or religion or refugees.
Im glad your sick of hearing about it, but I only want 10 minutes plus 1 and not 15, that would kill me ;D
Merry Christmas Firko, the worm shall not mention the war again ::)
-
change from hydro to natural much more mellow ;D
-
but would you rather talk about what type of lawnmower I've got? or religion or refugees.
My lawn mower is a screamingly gay old fella named Warren, religion is the root of all evil and I feel sad for the refugees that died but feel hate for the evil bastards who transport them. Hows that Trev....all more interesting subjects (to me*) than 10+1 motos ad infinitum.
*Maybe Wazza the mower guy's not so interesting but he does a ripper job for $30 front and back including the edges and as attractive as I am, he's never yet hit on me! ;D
-
maybe you need to wear your lycra push bike gear firko that will get him going :D ;D :D
-
change from hydro to natural much more mellow ;D
And never post when you're pissed.... ;)
