January 15, 200620 yr Look who made the big time reporting the Amp-ed SX series. Ah, the millionare super-stars with names like RC, CR, JM, KW and JS, the big purse money events, the flowing champaign in the winners circle..... oh, and the paid trophy girls. Shan has hit the big time for sure. Edited January 15, 200620 yr by City Trials
January 15, 200620 yr citytrials, it's good to see Shan at SX! We made round one and had a blast, I'm also 5 dollars richer with RC winning, who I had bet on this week. Going to Supercross is a good eye opener for trials riders. The professionalism, commitment and intensity of the competition is on par to what it takes to win the world trials championship. Current US trials puts the fighting sprit to sleep in our riders! At Supercross you can see that will to win everywhere, even with the back of the pack riders. It's little wonder that youngsters perfer Motocross to trials! They go to supercross and see a future, a chance to be a star and earn a fortune. If trials could offer just a little of that hope for success, I bet it would attract a lot more youngsters and their familes.
January 15, 200620 yr In my opinion, it is folly to assume that we should atrtact as many youngsters as we can to trials, because, taking my local scene into account: - we already have 100 plus riders per trial. Queues at sections are long enough! - the more people who latch onto trials, the more who take it into their own hands to use ground for illegal practice, endangering continuation of the sport. Sure, we need to ensure the sport continues, but its current popularity doesn't threaten this.
January 15, 200620 yr Congratulations Shan. Nice to see you're getting the bylines. Thanks Craig for pointing it out. How about if we keep this topic a congratulatory one instead of mucking it up with other BS?
January 15, 200620 yr Sorry, didn't know keeping our sport alive and healthy was considered BS! Last word on the subject!
January 16, 200620 yr Ringo, your the best! Congratulation Shane for breaking into the big time. How you going to keep him down on the farm, now that he's seen..............

January 17, 200620 yr Sorry Ringo, I'm working right now with a bunch of supermodels doing a jenes photoshoot. So Broke Back mountain is out for now! Maybe another time? We did go see Aventures of Narina last night, great movie. Helps me keep my English accent! cleanorbust, how about sending some of those riders to the states? We could use the extra riders!
January 18, 200620 yr Very cool, I'd heard that the supershort model munchkins from The Wizard of Oz were pimping kids jeans. Glad to see you've got some work there dude.
January 18, 200620 yr Speaking of muchkins, I worked with the actor who played the head of the lollypop guild on a movie called Monstersquad. He was about 60 years old at the time and we used him to double a 5 year old girl. He looked really funny wearing a dress and smoking a cigar! As for the Supermodels, not my type! About 6foot 2inches tall and maybe 110 pounds. I believe girls should have curves!
January 18, 200620 yr i can see it now,ringo and beav at the drive in together maybe we could make that into a movie.well call it love story.
January 18, 200620 yr HeyBagger, Ringo is the loyal opposition! Without competition you have no horse race. It would be like winning a national championship without any real contenders competing against you. How hollow of a victory would that be?
January 19, 200620 yr Clean or bust, which club are you a member of? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm in UK (North Yorkshire). For some reason I appear to have been assumed to be American!
