I herd my son say something yesterday that just through me off my rocker." Dad can we not go to the Graqnds this year?" Of course he was kidding, but it got me thinking about things that I have never herd say around a BMX track past and/or pesent.
For example: I hate this JMC, I wish I had my Stingray back.
Or: Man I wish they would bring back those wooden jumps, dirt really sucks.
I can't stand this gate- I wish that we had that rubber band back.
These Carbon forks are just too light, I wish I had my MOTO forks back.

What about you, what can you add to these sayings, what have you never herd (or have herd)?
Tommy

I don't see those as sarcastic, I actually agree with most all those comments.

...the wooden jumps would be a second choice though.

Who would NOT want to revert back to this? Talk about digression!!!

"Im taking my seat off and jacking my post up real high...............then Im hittin' those whoops over there"

My S&M broke.

My Hutch cranks didn't break

That's some funny stuff right there!

That's freakin funny!

I love freestylers!

The port-a-potties are way too clean for me.

Man I really wish they would start making tracks from dirt again! Slamming on asphalt really sucks!!!

Rancho/Corona/Yarnell/Weinert Mountain were just too damn flat, give me a real track

BMX was worse when I was a kid.

Awesome. As expected.

Love you man! But I'm not in love with you.

Oh, it just wouldn't work out. I'm sure you understand.

Final exams are over. I tried to show the class of 6th graders the movie "RAD", and almost everybody complained that "This is an old movie."

I need to adjust my sissy bar.

there's other lights besides red??

somebody turn off those horns at the gate.

Hay man those streamers comming out of your handlegrips are cool.

I was offered a top management position at Google, but had to turn it down. My BMX industry job pays too well.

It's a good thing that clay was so hard packed or else I wouldn't have been able to ride in this really cool ambulance!

This Georga clay sure adds a nice color to my uniform.
or
Who is Stu Thompson?
or
I have to race ALL 3 motos, even if I win the 1st one?

(Jeff S.)

drill as many holes in it as you can because, let's face it, lighter IS better!

You know what made BMX better? Clips!

There's plenty of toilet paper in this porta-potty.

Sweet! I don't have to race in the main!

I like the way my Tuff Wheels flex and rub on the brake pads to slow me down

The sanctions, they're really doing too much. We should learn to ask less of them.

Those older guys on bikes are THE most fun to watch. That dude from Arkansas flows and is smooth like butter.

I wish I could gain a few more pounds so I could fit in my old race gear.

"That Red Baron sure is good looking"

I LOLed

Funny story time: So I'm at Rockford some years ago, it's a night practice and I'm getting laps. You cross the finish line, go up the little asphalt path, and through the walk-through gate at the base of the starting hill.

It's about my second or third lap so I'm getting a little, let's call it "aerobically stressed" and there's these two kids, 14 years or so, just inside the walk-through gate.

One of 'em turns to (sweaty and breathless) me as I come through and says, "You old guys, you're the backbone of the sport."

I take a breath, put my hand on his shoulder, look him in the eye and pant, "Kid, I see you going places in this world" and roll up the hill to get another gate.

Always wondered what happened to that kid.

My Beer gut really helps me in the whoops.

...I got nuthin!

Chrome is coming back.

...That was my kid, I paid him to say that to you... You looked like you needed a leg up...


" I wish this rain would let up and the track would dry out, because my goggles keep fogging up, and this damned mud gets so heavy in the knobbies by the time you get to the first berm that it's hard as hell to make it to the end of the track! "

Hey everybody, wait, STOP.....I can't ride this bike! The chrome has a chip in it, and, and, WAIT - there's a thumbprint on my downtube!

Little Billy next to him points out he's pretty sure, that's a scrape over there he missed.

Out come the paramedics, somebody has passed out.

Mains are for overachievers!

John Stodd took the number 1 Cruiser plate this year!

Girls BMXers are dogs...

Here's one I have heard at the track. Unfortunately.

My son is 12 R and his little friend who he races against come up to me after I get done with a moto about half dead. He looks at my FSA Carbon cranks and says... "Nice cranks." "Can I have them?"

"Your not using them."

Little snot. LOL!

Sorry to break the theme I just had to mention how much I dig this pic. Check out the kids looking at the starters hand. Wait for it!

How many of you have dealt with this scenario?!

You will never, ever hear someone 'fess-up:

"I am sorry for farting in staging during practice.

I know it is really hot and you're all boxed in behind the gate like sardines. I understand you are wearing a full-face helmet and that interferes with your ability to make a make-shift shirt gas mask without removing your helmet. I wish I could ease your suffering through my utter foulness."

Being on a Factory Team really sucks, my dad loves paying my entry fees.

"I have been racing BMX for three years and I am now the 12 year old rookie National #1 Champion!"

It's a good thing I'm not running Vet pro this year. I'd blow the doors off Purse!

Dude, your helmet smells lovely.

Dunson didn't wreck today!

Tommy merryman beat me Hopefully you age up before you get a chance .

HAHAHAAHAAHAHAHA, Yup, never hear that one. See ya soon, and I move up next week.

Hey, Steve Clark and Brent Lee are running clips!

I can pedal so much better now that I'm wearing a thong instead of leathers.
