VMX designed to enjoy past era's in a pleasant, controlled enviroment, that leads into club, state (in some states) and national championships. but the main reason a majority of riders take part is simply fun. I've never seen anybody knocked for being the slowest rider at a meet, maybe a bit of fun over a few beers but that is it. Everybody just wants people to come along and have fun in a controlled environment. i myself am introducing my step son (25yrs) to VMX and he can't wait and he's alreasdy been lined up as a sack of potatoes on a sidecar.
VMX doesn't need changing it need to be remembered for what it is to a majority of people, just damn good fun, I am the worlds worst rider and mechanic, with a wife who takes a damn good photo. I am the most popular person in the pits when she is there, and nobody talks to me when she isn't!!!lol
Over here in the west, you still get the bickering and politics, but we still all turn up and enjoy it. There will probably 20 plus bikes will head over to the Classic championships in Nov from both clubs (VMXWA and Pre85MXWA), we are already working out ways to raise some cash thelp those who decide to attend. How many of those will be competitive, just a handful, but the rest of us will damn enjoy every minute of mud, blood and beer and have a great laugh, build comaradery and great memories. Thats why we ride
enjoy people, remember enjoy!!!!
