....Or so I've heard.
I think you all know I love motocross. My son races. He is really talented. Not because he is gifted....he works for every fast lap. I do not make my income from moto but I have been paid to consult at moto tracks. ((but only at a couple...the rest were volunteer efforts to better the sport))
Well a local competitor who is a very cool kid has shitty parents. It was just brought to my attention that as they are sending out their son's rider resume to local sponsors, they are trashing me in their cover letter.
They are saying I think I am someone special and do not let spectators near my son and that if I am not treated with "kid gloves" I become "unmanageable."
I am literally so pissed right now, I was in tears before I decided to vent here. First of all, who sends a rider resume trashing the top rider's family in the class? It wasn't written as, "redbedboom is this and that..." She named my son and said, "While [her son's name] enjoys racing the best in his class we are nervous to meet up with [red's son] because [red] thinks she is someone important in the sport and makes a fuss most of the time. She must be treated with kid gloves or she causes a scene at any track they visit."
I have never caused a scene nor would I. That is not me at all. You all have no reason to believe me, but I wouldn't post about this if I wasn't so upset by it.
I have NEVER been a snoot to anyone. In fact, at one race I struck up a conversation with a spectator and found out she was seeking a bike for her son. I told the lady to walk with me to my race pit to have her son sit on my son's bike. She said, after we got to our pits, "Uh, he can't sit on that bike." I asked why not, thinking she maybe thought it had hot spots from the race. She said,"That was the winning bike, he can't sit on that." That was so funny to me.
That is exactly how I have always been and to be run down the river by this ass hat of a lady makes me ill. I am a very good person and do not deserve this type of b.s., even if our sponsors take it with a grain of salt.
Plus at our amateur level, sponsors are not so lucrative we all need to act a fool. We get what we get and pray for better to race another season.
