Message: [QUOTE="Ms. Badlands, post: 191529, member: 19473"] [b]No Tripling...[/b] While we don't have a "club" at our track, we do have a series every fall where riders compete and receive points. At our rider's meeting, Russ points out the three triples on the track and says, "BEGINNERS, YOU CANNOT TRIPLE THESE JUMPS OR YOU WILL BE DOCKED A LAP." The flaggers assigned to those jumps radio the scoring tower with the bike number of any rider who violates this rule. The starting gate person will also repeat this to every rider when they are at the gate and about to begin their moto. We also have switched to a trophy/plaque system. Only the Beginner classes and 50 thru 65cc classes get trophies, all the others get a cool plaque. The Plaques are a definite hit. I have even started awarding plaques to the 50cc and 65cc Open classes because the little guys wanted them too. This past weekend we had a "beginner" who cleared every "triple" jump in his moto. After the results were posted, he proceeded to the scoring tower where I met him face to face. He tried to argue that he didn't hear anything about triples at the rider's meeting and that it was a stupid rule, etc... I explained to him the safety factor, and that if he wanted to do the jumps, to move up to the novice class. He stormed off... It is amazing that only one guy out of a class of 20 riders didn't hear the rule. In his second moto, he decided to clear all the triple jumps again. I doubt we will ever see him at Badlands MX Park again, but at least we will have one less sandbagger. :silly: [/QUOTE]
