Gil, I beleive that is standard for the Nat Tour. 06 was that way in Mooresville........... If I am not mistaken, Mike counts you towards the regional points..... If you were 3rd over all but 2 pro's were above you, you would get counted as 1st in Am Freestyle. Could be wrong though.

oh, as far as Trophys, who needs them.... Plus, if your gonna bitch about payout, then go pro. AM Freestyle NEVER has payout, nor should it.


As far as trophys go, you and I could care less-BUT-put your self in a kids shoes, after all, it is the kids we are trying to draw in to the sport!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as money goes-I totally agree with you, money should only be spent on the PRO riders as far as payout from the promoter. As far as our vendors/suppliers, I feel it is smart business on their behalf to spend a little on the amateur guys as alot of them did in Tupelo. I have not heard the 1st rider from this weekend complain, but you could definitely tell they were dis-appointed which SUCKS AZZ!!! One of the riders said it was his 1st and last freestyle comp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keep in mind- I have NOOOOOOOOOOO right to bitch as I was not there.
But I will be a voice for the riders w/a voice is needed!

we need to direct this twards mike young from surf and turf. i will be giving him a call to offer our input on his format

This race was a National Tour Event. Mike Young was only the event promoter, Patrick Mel is who makes the decisions as far as Classifications and combining of classes. That is who you need to contact. On regular Surf and Turf Regionals Pro and AM Freestyle is scored independently of each other.

I stand corrected. The 'National Tour' is to promote pro riders-not amateurs.

Jeez Gil, CHILL OUT!!! :17:

Freestyle wasn't the only class that was combined---there were many other classes that were combined to give a full field during the races. Combining classes is necessary sometimes and the scoring is determined by what class you entered, not necessarily by where you finished in a race. For instance, the 10-12 Juniors and the 13-15 Juniors are combined in a class---the best-finishing 10-12 Junior would be scored for a first place even if he/she came in fourth overall.

You didn't compete this time, so you can't bitch!

Congrats on the new house, BTW!!! :sneaky:

Start a new thread if you want to continue this crap---this is about pictures of the Freestylers that did make it to the event. :bigok:
