Could be seasonal!!
Everyone wants to be out and about in the summer. Winter is cold and crappy!!
Doesn't effect us that much up 'ere as its always grim oop north.
It could also be the long break between the Summer and Winter Series.
The North region winter series started 21 days after the Summer Series so you just get carried along with it.
Most Old Skoolers will move up to NS or Cruisers when there fitness and skill levels increase which is the way it should be otherwise you'd always get the same people winning and the series would be stagnant.
Hopefully a few newbies will join to take their place!!
North Region BMX Rules :
If after 4 rounds a class has 2 or less riders. it may be permanently merged into another class.
3 riders is enough to race. A few classes are very small.
............But if you know there is only 3 riders then it does makes you wonder why you should bothered travelling!!
Hopefully it will improve when the warmer weather returns!!
