[QUOTE="DanAKAL, post: 812114, member: 41820"] Being a woods rider and still loving the sport I do a lot of flagging for our MX since I'm not racing. I usually have the checkered flag and stop watch though. We often use local sports teams and organizations as corner flaggers. There is the occasional problem with the soccer or hockey teams but more often than not they have very quick flags and are on top of almost every incident. I take them through about a 15 minute explanation of what is expected of them and if they error then error on the side of caution. All in all I have been very pleased with them. These children, 12 - 16, simply love being involved. There is one very great stand out. I have seen none better than the Young Marines (USMC ROTC). After discussing things like a Drill Instructor for about 15 minutes these are simply the best corner flaggers that I have been acquainted with. They are more than aware that if there are fifteen riders on the track and one goes down then they have fourteen more to look out for. The down rider will have plenty of help. There would have to be a 100,000 enemy soldiers, 300 tanks, and fourteen bombers bearing down for them to desert their post. They are very aware of their surroundings and everything that is going on in their field of view. A huge WELL DONE and Thank You to the Alaska Young Marines!! Perhaps we could get the USMC to teach the AMA flaggers? [/QUOTE]
