OK....

 

Nawww. he was there

 

thats not what i mean, but thats personal buisness that i won't indulge on this forum...

 

Oh GREAATT....

 

What you trying to say?

 

ok thread derailed. back on track. why did the show suck again?

 

Here we go again.. I have never seen anyone satisfied with the way a show has been ran as of yet. Everyone has something to bitch about their own opinions on how "they thought" it should of been done. The show sucked because everyone involved sucked.. OK..Fine.. Its done and over with. You cant go back and fix it. Yes it should of been more organized. This show is just one of the many to come that people with bitch about. I know I wont put my name on the line anymore just for it to come around and bite me in the ***. It was more stressful than fun for me to be involved. But there isnt anything I can do about it now. And as far as people saying the show was rigged...Are you F*ckinig kidding me?????

 

your right you cant go back and fix it, but you can make damn sure that it doesnt happen again the same way... the more people complain the more voices are heard from the "promoters" and futrure "promoters" . For example, if I were to ever promote something like this, I would not make it a competition, but instead all teams get a flat fee per rider that shows up and a contract will be signed and we will make a mock competition. So its not so much fixing what has happened, but making sure it doesnt happen again....

 

I Agree 100%

to be honest with u if u ask everyone that went to the VERTICAL OUTLAWS comp in maine i dont think anyone complained im back out this thread

 

Vendors got ****ed too..

I was actually a vendor there doing airbrush tattoos, paid over $300 to go in, then they booked 2 other airbrush tattoos and a henna artist.. Wasted my whole ****ing weekend to lose $150, i packed up early on Sunday. Cool part at least got to watch the stunts then.....

**** John, Scott, and Steve.. Cyclepalooza was a joke and they're laughing all the way to the bank.

 

Finally something I agree 150% with.

I had more fun riding with everyone at biketoberfest this year than anywhere I have ever been. (and as far as I know no one got paid to ride)

If Promoters want to pay teams to show up at this kind of event then cool if not I'll still go. I'm in this becouse I love to ride, bottom line.

I'm not trying to get rich, be famous, or anything like it. I have been with Redline for about 6 months and have meet some of the coolest people I have ever known, and made some friends for life. I hope to meet pleanty more of you at Stuntwars this year.

 

what a bunch of ****

 

[QUOTE=korno1]
copy that...there was also about a years worth of preparation for that event and it was run about as smoothly as any event i've been to. good payouts, prompt payment, great crowd...take some notes

 

I was going to sit back and keep my mouth shut...but I honestly don't gave a crap anymore!

Funny thing is that this is how it was originated...a show. Then some 18yr old BW gets involved because her daddy is associated with the Dixxie Choppers. Ofcourse this frustrates the **** out of me as it would any team, but as I am the most layed back melo guy I roll with it and attempt to make the best out of it. That quickly went down hill as well when she teams up with another self sintered BW with deaf ears. But like I stated eariler, we already spoke with parties heading this event and they will be rectifying the know problems to help make future events more enjoyable/organized.

Another ironic situation regarding this fiasco(sp?) is that ALL the redline members besides me are dedicated judges(not fillers) appointed by Gixxie. Could this be because I made attempts to help prevent a disaster from happening by being honest since day one. I made a "jokingly" comment that "girls belong in the kicthen not organizing a stunt show". After that Gixxie sends me a lenghtly PM and from that moment on I believe I was "sent to the shed". This is just a theory though.

There was a lot of shady crap going on which made it tuff to sit back and gritt my teeth throughout it. Crap like this makes it tough to have fun in the sport and I am on the verge of tossing in my gloves and being done with it completely. My bank account and home life are suffering because of it....[b]and all for what...the million dollar question.?. Sucks when what originates as a fun "show" turns into something that has me questioning if I should sell me bike and call it quits .

 

Jimmy, i gotta lot of respect for you. you are one of the few that doesn't run around runnin' their mouth about other people so for you to speak up on this issue i know it bothered the hell outta ya. no reason to call it quits though. i'm just now remembering how fun it is to ride. for awhile there it was a chore and i got tired of listening to bitching all the time. but that has since been rectified and i enjoyed riding this past weekend. look forward to seein' ya out at lakeland!!

 

damn you got put in time out

and Steve....
