Is this another thread destined to end badly? Out of respect to Bruce and his love of VMX and the VMX community, let's move on please. If you feel strongly about the Memorial Trophy and when it should be featured, contact the club directly. Let's keep this thread a positive celebration of the CRC.

Graeme is correct we need to keep VMX NSW positive and move forward.

Moving forward to where Damo??? More meetings that clash, 3 half arsed clubs.

Juniors at VMX meetings AND on modern bikes is just plain WRONG!!!

The committees of the 3 clubs (Penrith, RetroMX & Heaven) need to get together

and get VMX in NSW on track because too many passionate people will be lost to

the sport. Victoria and Queensland have it sorted, and this forum is the only place

to have your say that is until the thread gets locked down. Phoning a committee

member just doesn't work, I've been down that path.

Juniors are the future of VMX, face it.

How many mums and dads can afford their "kids" to have two bikes each ? ( modern and late )  I cant.

I think a lot of guys here need to grow up, race their bikes and have fun for a change.

The 30 somethings are the future of vmx not 14 and 15 year olds. Their the fella's
that want to race pre 85 - 90's now and if you think dirt bikes are expensive buy
your kids a socer ball.    John #185

You sure do have a lot to say George.....Turn up at a meeting..Introduce yourself as George and i am sure we will all listen to your recommendations

Until then buddy you are just another tossa in cyberspace

[ted]

John #185...maybe you`re right, maybe you`re wrong.  But there was a family there with 1 junior and 3 seniors...do you say no juniors and maybe lose 3 seniors.

[palooka]

Ted I'm not against the kids riding, just saying their not the future of vmx. Haven't seen
to many kids at a vmx meeting on RM80T's or YZ80K's etc......both bikes which I raced
back in the day.     John #185

Good point John and i agree ( took a mate on the weekend and he said " How come the juniors don`t ride old bikes" )

Put simply, Heaven don`t want Pre 90 as I and the other 6 guys that put our hands up ( and got our names recorded ) at Canowindrea last year found out.

My proposal to the ( incoming powers to be ) was to embrace Pre 90 and run it in the Pre 78 section of racing and subsequently be inundated with extra flaggies at tracks like Lakes and Canberra ...obviously fell on deaf ears

Hey Ted that ship has sailed

Thing is juniors grow up, turn 16 and make the transition to seniors & race old bikes.

Begining of last yrs season saw one of the clubs jnrs enter the senior ranks. He kicks the arse of half of the senior evo riders on the grid

Next year another jnr will join the seniors on a pre85 250 - heaven help you.

My young fella is a jnr for another two seasons but is already talking about racing his dad in seniors. He has a 81 250 or 82 125 to pick from.

Then my youngest will start in juniors and the cycle continues.

To say juniors don't hold a place in the future of the sport is an understatment.

And then the old guy gets pissed off being beaten by the young dude.
VMX is about old blokes racing each other on old bikes, simple. In vmx
anyone under the age of 30 is a junior IMO. It's about reliving our youth.
