Message: [QUOTE="Saratoga, post: 182119"] Here is how my club decides whether someone needs to be moved up. 1) If they get a bad start or fall and then move through the pack to win they get bumped. 2) Lap times are compared to the next class up. If the lap times are the same or better, they need to be bumped. If you are finishing 30 seconds faster then second place, you probably have enough speed to race with the faster class. If several people including parents think you need to move up, they might be right. Also, if others are not jumping the same distance as you, eventually you will land on someone. The really bad paralyzing injuries I have seen are caused by someone landing on someone else. Do yourself a favor and race against faster guys that will do the big jumps before you land on someone. You can get hurt really bad! [/QUOTE]
