Ah, the age group debate...  it was only a matter of time I guess  ::)
BTW I'm getting hungry... anyone got some popcorn?  ;D

Corn markets dropped-no popcorn too expensive  ;D
Age races have been around since 95 ,being a good idea in that the whole family can race ie Clark Family. Keeping the vmx rider numbers up  8), but making a long race weekend.
cheers

Sorry Alison, 1988. It was my idea and I'm bloody proud that it was the main element that drew old retired racers back in to the fold. May it last forever.

I can't agree with canning the age group racing...most of the pre 75 guys (the only group that age groups apply to) are getting on a bit and it is good to be able to race against guys your own age as well....it is not pleasant to be smoked by some 30 year old who has no real interest in VMX...

Im 28, love VMX and u would more than likely smoke me.. can i race please mr?
Maico's, the only way to go.

I think age groups are a good thing.  ;) It's nice to know that I'm probably not going to get t-boned by one of my peers. I also think it's a great leveler in that the bike (or how trick it is) isn't going to make so much of a difference. I just wish that the races were longer so as we can see who's been looking after themselves the last thirty years......and who hasn't.
