Committing to failure and letting the circus burn


Smart people come to you in different ways...just when you didn't think your circle couldnt get any bigger..Bam...someone wonders into it unexpectedly and drops there mind on you...
And you thought this was gonna be a dry fall...a fall left up to only random bits of bullshit posts, some worn out rockers and the same redundant list of this opinionated asshole of what he thinks is bad-ass...yeas fools the grammar hasn't gotten any better...
Lets talk cross real quick ain't gonna take up too much of your time..and to be frank i got shit to do...But when one of the hardest dudes to come outta of the scene in long time..a man who cut his teeth here says..to T..."Michigan-scene in a whole is in a weird state...even the road scene/mtb scene kinda in a funk right now......but for the hell of it cross. in general...There are some good crossers that have come outta this place in the years...and there are some good riders right now right here...without naming names..none of them show up at the same time...instead choosing to go elsewhere for various reasons"  whther it be for grip/chicks..or depth of field...It used to be back in the day guys like the Rhino crew, Sorry and the Wiz, the lillest Pony and the whole Blue Wave thing would travel to the bigger races..with the end all be all of a USGP GP title or nationals as the fixation...Now the scene is just alil more random..Im betting all my 80's pop Rock star trading cards that this is the year of transition...kinda thought last year was..but for the sake of fate..lets hope were heading in the right direction...i hear we are losing that Hofie kid..pity cuz he cross needs guys like him young..does his own thing with no attitude..good kid..I ain't saying the that the podiums are soft..T knows cross is hard anyway you slice it....but man o man we need to revive this shit...I wish i had the answer, and time....call it a ramble or rant..call whatever..i just had to get that off my old worn out chest...

Ill leave you with this...best advice T ever got...

stick your head out in the wind..take a pull..commit to it..go to failure...

In order to keep cross alive in the Michigan Scene, we all need to do our part and show up to the races. Plain and simple. The series ain't perfect, not all the venues are great, but if a promoter is willing to take the time to draw a line on the ground and call it a start/finish line, then we should support it! In the end, the race can be in a back alley, a land fill, it doesn't matter. What makes the race great is having warm bodies to race against. And the more warm bodies you got the better the racing! Think about it people. And ask yourself, am I one of the reasons why the scene is dying, or am I one of the reasons the scene hasn't died yet???? I know what side of the scale I fall on.

The racing in Michigan for the most part like most of the racer. Half hearted me included, you get out what you put in i suppose.
Look at USA cycling half the Michigan cross races are not even open for pre-reg yet, some just weeks out! Way to be on top of it.
