Firko, you can't claim to be supportive of an era that you also describe as beige...
The backhander shows how shallow your support is.
Bill's beige/all the same description is just as wrong in Pre-95 as it is for Pre-75 - and time spent riding or working on the bikes makes that obvious.
It is very clear that despite some grand statements and the occasional token gestures, the sport of VMX is only about Baby Boomers - anyone else is merely tolerated, but only if they behave exactly the right way...
Congratulations people, you're making your wish come true...
Thats ironic , i have changed the colour of the statement i wanted to highlight to beige and its virtually invisible
Allright ill bite what are the big differences then Nathan ? i raced all through that era and cant remember anything significant except the seat cover revolution .
This era (1990 on) of MX in Australia was very exciting. I was Race Secretary/Series Co-ordinator for the Shell Advance/Sunshine State MX series. We went from about 200 entries to 400 plus. It was the era for Queensland that produced riders like Andrew McFarlane, Troy Carroll, Michael Byrne, Mick Cook etc and there were just as many in other states.
To say it was beige is insulting. There are a lot of riders and ex-riders out there from this era. It was also when the Thumper Nats was at it's best.
If this wasn't your era no worries, but don't insult it.
