Re: Baltimore Bike Bash 09 MUST READ!!!!!
nah ... every one should have to pay to ride .... its like a dirt track or a race track .... its gonna be a legit place to ride & have fun for the day ....
people use to say thats BS cause the riders are providing the entertainment but thats not what its about... the event is for the riders ! its all about getting everyone in one spot to hang have fun & ride ! with venders , food , music & what ever else to have fun with !
I mean we could do a lot session or street ride with tons of peeps when ever but when you plan somthing out like this its better for media attention & for spectator support ....
**** just costs money to hold an event with the proper insurence & permits .. & space to hold people .....
the bike bash is the only event iv ever heard people cry about .. while almost every event charges to get in .... then tells you you need to pay to ride as well & pay for comps ...lol they rape you !!! you end up paying three or four times lol
but the BBB was always just one cost for everyone coming in ... if you were a rider a stunter or **** a break dancer or a skater everyone payed then did what they wanted too to have fun with what was provided !!
& like kurt said where do you draw the line ??? Id love for everyone to get in for free to everything!!! but what I really hate is when someone gets in for free becouse he or she is special or the new hotness while someone whos working just as hard has to spend money to do the same thing ...
sorry for the rant ......

if you need someone to sell it inside please hit me up. you got my home number. You might be able to pull down funding, we've got months and a few departments will be flush when that trillion wad hits the business. we'll have a window to run up and grab something for the sport.
If I could comment on rider qualifications, it's time for the three biggest events organizers to jointly offer credentials to the riders whose sickness has been proven. After you've qualified to compete at a certain number of any of the top pro events, then you should be a credentialed pro. (the reason it's jointly is so the riders who don't make certain events aren't discriminated against)
I've said it a million times and no one listens, but I'll say it again and no one will listen. there's absolutely no ******* way an amateur should be performing for a crowd. they are not a good risk, and crowd safety is paramount. It's a running joke in other industries, "he's looking for an amateur" means they don't want to pay, not literally they want an amateur to crash into a family. (this part doesn't fit you Johnny, you listen hard and find all the weak spots, which I always need to come up better)
The guys who are top ten should be given preference and higher compensation for exhibitions and appearances, and there should be a standard credential for instructor and judge with written protocols.
****. +1 sorry for the rant. these things eliminate the confusion. also eliminate the need for stunt police, though, and they are pretty ****** wonderful.
