This is Scott Bailey & I have a question. Whats up with the lack of help on the big hill during the last race. There was a lady (I wont mention her name because people that know the Baileys tend to get in trouble) that stayed on that hill basically by herself helping get bikes up the hill & didnt leave until the sweeper showed up. Why you ask????? Because she was the only one there to help. This was my first time to meet her & i was very impressed with her dedication to the sport. Sooooooo to the people that just stood on the hill and watched maybe you could learn a little something, get off your but and help out or go find some staff to help either way make yourself useful. Im not trying to be too negative, but this was a problem area with no staff or help & the issue needed to be addressed. Scott Bailey A 419 VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was told by a staff member it wasn't his blaking job......

I'm wondering the same thing, Scott. I heard the same thing, Liss.
I am very dissappointed and very upset as well. I will address this situation at a later date.
Big thank you to all the friendly spectators out there helping - people like the Strawbriges, my husband, my son, the lady Scott is talking about and many others.

that customer service with a smile

I believe the word he used was F***ing job.

scott, not to criticise anyone, but you know i will and do help anytime i see sopmeone in trouble as do others

thats nice

Most will! I know my family along with several others did. Including guys who raced in the expert program who were out there during them mini's and ladies program to help when they could have been resting for their race.
Needless to say I was dissapointed in some peoples actions and words....

Well I will stand up and say that was my fiance' and I am dang proud of her. For her and Scott to be the only one's out there helping and making sure if anyone else got hurt, there would be a way to get help, is ridiculous. I was totally shocked, no, pissed, on my 4th lap to see just Scott and my fiance' monitoring this section (which was where one rider ended up being a pin cushion for a peg). Why was this hill covered for the expert race (the ones who really shouldn't need it) but not the amateurs? And why is it the medics have plenty of extra radios to be used for a race and only a handful distributed?
I love the fact that the TORO races are difficult and somewhat extreme at times, but with that should also come the extra measures to make sure it is also safe and well monitored in the event that something bad does happen and medics are needed. I don't have the answers or solutions, but I am willing to help in anyway I can.

There are alot of people that are willing to help if they know about it. The word was not put out like it should have been. I realize there was more than one bad area and that there were just a few people helping in each of them. We have to have challenging tracks to make us better riders but we have to get out and watch,cheer,support,and help our fellow racers. On another note, If you cant work the track without cussing at someone then you shoudnt be out there.Scott Bailey A419 VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
