Stale Beer and Arena Weed..


If I had a million dollars id open a beer and pizza joint that served beer and pizza only...nothin else..you want a menu full of choices go to Applebutters...the menu would be short concise..pizza...beer you want beer??  ya we got that shit..we would do it right......too much of a good thing is proven fact that the majority will grow tired of it...except for maybe alcohol, tobacco and arena weed...I'm asking you folks to use that part in your grey matter again the part that allows you to lay a little dreaming down...those that frequent that shitty chat board are excluded and free to leave at any givin time....but one would think they have better things to do than stumble through T's ridiculously shitty opinionated grammar shit post..T dont hate too many things..but.i hate that board...there i said it..i feel better....not the organization itself  T actually likes that.....just that god dam ridiculous group...maybe not everyone im sure somewhere in all that bullshit that gets strewn up.....folks call tms out for being anonymous ..go hang out in that place for a few hours..i feel bad for all those folks i really do..there cholesterol and blood pressure must be through the roof...

Heres the deal T ain't gonna cloud this shit post up with a bunch of his hard to understand banter about strippers, cougars and re-runs of The Waltons..the two latter although have been a T time sponge mind you......The limping MTB scene is no different than the staggering road scene and the smelly cross scene...its a victim of the times...board whores can argue all they want about numbers being up...the numbers are the amount of events....First....fewer races..period..everyone wants to promote some series..be the guy...all of a sudden Joe dude with a wife, kids, maybe kids he See's every other weekend.. work, soccer games omg!!! a house to take care of and a life outside trying to take it to the next level ...etc..most of these folks only have a few weekends a month to burn....no ones happy...well maybe divorce attorneys are happy...but spread it out over the say..500 total racers in Miscene factor in weekday worlds...and things start to look thin..not everyone has bunny staying power..we all do it for different reasons most say its fun...180hr  isn't that much fun..its fun when you win...riding with your buddies is fun...why in gods name does everyone feel so compelled to race a bike .....? wanna ride and smile for the camera ride the local loop but watch out for the pain train...cuz there aint no one slowin down in that group..I hear strava number don't lie...

If i had the $ id pay off these promoter fucks to get on the same page for 1 season...1 season.. a trial...everyone from the elitist MMBA.. to big money Rick and Steve..Tailwind..and even those chumps at the MBRA...get on the same page..schedule a years worth of shit...try...try and find a corporate sponsor of some sort...not an easy task i know....blanket this bitch with less interference..reduce the number of classes wanna ride a single speed well fuck you.... your faster than most riders on geared bikes race with em..fat bikes fat asses big thighs......one class...that's it..expert classes combined masters levels combined...there ain't enough to go around.....many years ago before most that were out there running there mouth about this that and the other thing Miscne had this thing called Tour of Blue Care network Tour Michigan something or other a week or so long race series MTB road combined...i wouldn't do a week id do summer series or ?....and payouts..come on is it really about spreading the bills on social networks? or telling people you just paid for Cedar Point tickets with your winnings?.....payouts are OK..but we don't need to be stinking paying everyone...

I think Tailwind and the MBRA are on the right track....Fewer races,..(most cant resist i know)

fewer classes..(there will be tears shed and bellyaching)

a corporate sponsor ( no one has any money)

 promoters that get it and communicate....(like a religious war)

its a dream go with it....without it............ it will continue to eat itself...
Dreaming


Opinionated and Passionately yours.... T

We are paid pretty well in this state for any result you may post. Look around if you don't believe me. The promoters could back some of that down, and keep more of it towards approaching being in the black. Very few are making any money promoting these races. We might as well make it easier for them to be less broke after an event.

Wait, so nobody at the local level is PRO? Tell that to some of the tools.
