farken take a chill pill dude.

Maybe not that many people have read your thread yet.
Maybe they're busy.
Maybe they don't want to go to newcastle to ride.
Maybe they're not interested in a 2 day jam.
Maybe there's just not that many riders in Sydney.
Maybe they're newbies and feel intimidated by the idea of a jam.

This is the second time i've seen you fly off the handle because things didn't go the way you had anticipated. [Image Can Not Be Found]

gadget and bedbod are like the ONLY sydney riders I can even think of off the top of my head.

and to coin a phrase, look at urself and think about what you just bitched about

So much anger(Mik).Calm down and put yourself in other peoples shoes,Peope love to jam but, people have kids,jobs,study,girlfriends and need money which they have to come first in someways.If people don't want to jam with you guys,that find,accept it.It's good you want to put together a jam,as you say it's not often you get to jam with other flatlanders.You seem so intense,hopefully meet you at the next BMXgames!

Also by the sounds of it,you have put some effort into it which is awesome,you guys have a good scene in Aus.If i could afford it i would be there!

Peace!

yeh dude, we have enough trouble getting the sydney riders to ride in sydney let alone newcastle lol. But dude, im there with bells on. No hard feelings dude, but most sydney guys work part time jobs from memory. Plus most of em dont use the net that often, i found calling people got the numbers up more than sending e-mails. Iv'e lost everyones numbers too, so i cant help us out haha! Sydney flatland for life... YEEWW!

Yeah mik calm down mate.
In all the years we've bene trying to get regular shit happening in Sydney, just Sydney, with only local Sydney guys and no one else, the best turnout we ever saw wouldn't have been over 10 riders.
Getting pissed at people who have legitimate reasons not to be able to make it, or in this case probably haven't seen your thread till now (like me) isn't really going to warm people to the idea of making a long trip to ride.
Unfortunately it seems like the best you can do is put the effort into the event and be thankful for the turnout you get regardless of how low the numbers are. I really hope this jam gets some annual momentum, and I'll do my best to be there for at least one of the days, but like everyone has said, not everyone might share your vision of what flatland deserves.
A lot of people just ride for themselves when they want for their own enjoyment and the jam scene might mean nothing to them. They, like myself, might have been injured and totally overworked, and as a result totally out of the flatland loop for the past few months and haven't so much as looked at their bike let alone have any intention of making a trip to somewhere and not be able to ride. You just can't know.

I'm sure mitch, Todd and I and anyone else will have no worries in drumming up as much support as we can locally to get people up there. I'm going to aim to be there for the Sunday, unless you're planning to make the saturday the bigger of the two days? But yeah if all those details are final then we can start hassling people around here right now.
