SACA AGM soon

The Singapore Amateur Cycling Association, also known as SACA, will be holding its AGM pretty soon. A vote will be called for a new VP of BMX. There are lots of people out there who call themselves BMX consultants and BMX guys but sad to say, many of them do not even know the bare basics about BMX. So when you choose a new VP of BMX, please choose wisely. The YOG is coming up in two years time. The last thing we need are monkeys who know nothing about BMX spearheading the cause.

Some still do not know what is expected of BMX racing

First of all, someone from the Singapore Sports Council wanted to hold a BMX event in a hotel room to showcase what was expected if Singapore wins the bid to host the Youth Olympics. When told of what was expected, even after we were willing to be flexible if space did not permit, her reply was classic. Very typically expected.

I have replied to Mr XXX that maybe this event is not a good platform to showcase BMX racing
due to the space given. As BMX is one of the selected sports for YOG, there will be other
opportunities to showcase the sport if Singapore wins the bid.

See what I mean? We were willing to be flexible with videos and a talk, even with BMXers dressing up to show what was needed. But the guys from the SSC? To them, all they wanted were stunt bikers which is NOT what the Youth Olympic games was about. So with this kind of mindset, how are we going to make it happen?
