P-Rowe's New Policy

Where do they want us to hang out now? Not at Perkins Rowe, that’s for sure. The owners and managers at Perkins Rowe have come up with a new rules of conduct policy for teenagers and young adults. They have posted signs and are handing out little cards with the list of the new rules. They range anywhere from how they expect you to act all the way to what time you MUST leave if you're under 17. Most of the rules came into play because of some trouble breaking out a month or so earlier. I think the new policy is a bit rediculous if you ask me. Not everyone is trying to go out and cause trouble. I do agree that they ones causing trouble should be kicked out either permanently or for a set period of time. Depending on the offence. They claim they are only making these new rules because the facility is meant for adults and young adults. If you look at the stats and ratings, teenagers are the only reason they haven't shut down yet. As of now they have not even fully payed of the building costs. If they make teenagers stop coming because of their rediculous rules. In the long run they will be regreting it, BIG TIME.

My newspaper story, on motocross.

Motocross, it’s the sport of adrenaline. Dirt bikes of all sizes line up in the pits at many different tracks every single weekend. Whether it’s to race, or just to practice, it happens all the time. So, you think motocross is easy? Think again. It’s no easy task training day in and day out to compete in this sport. Scientists have examined it and came to the conclusion. Motocross is the #2 most physically challenging sport (#1 being men’s professional soccer). The professionals of both motocross and supercross (indoor motocross) train daily and have controlled diets. I can say from experience, this sport is NOT easy. Hands tired and legs cramping, after only 2-5 hard ridden laps around the track. Think about racing 15-30 minute long heats around a lap per minute and a half. “Is it worth it?” You say. If you love it, then it is, and I sure do. There is way more to it than what you think though. It’s almost like a science. How do you know how fast and what angle to take the jumps? You learn from experience. You’ll never learn until you do it. Certain people need certain speeds to clear certain jumps. No one can tell you “exactly” how fast or even what gear you should be in to clear it. Turning in motocross is also like an art. Elbows up, push into the turn, lay it over, and ride it out. Even straights in motocross have a technique. Standing up takes stress off your hands from gripping the bike, but you must grip the bike with your legs for this to work. There are more than 1,000 different techniques. Many can be learned on your own, with very little practice. Others may take many months of practice to master, depending on your skill level. There are motocross schools, where they teach you everything you need to know. You still must learn it yourself through acting out what you are told.
