Should motocross be a part of UIL Athletics?

[BullFrog Dad]

I think it should be.

i have to disagree, i dont see what educational or sportsmanship value it would serve the youth of today. please enlighten me as to your opinion on the subject please.

Who foots the bill for the motorcycles/gear & everything else that goes along with it?

John, I was having a little fun more than anything else(slow day at work). Jason did it for almost four years and I'm glad he's out of it mainly due to injuries and the cost. As for as educational value, his mechanical aptitude was helped more by MX than all the rest of the sports he played combined. Stay safe over there.

i can see how that would be a good start to those students who are aspiring to be mechanics. the safte issue would always pose a risk, but that comes w/ any sport. the cost of it could be covered partially by the school and partially by the student/family, by having the student pay dues to join. i know there are some clubs in schools today that require students pay dues to join. you dont haveto worry about me bein safe, im down to about 12-14ish days until im on a plane headed back to hawaii. then shortly after that ill be headed home. im excited but trying to control myself so the days dont slow down.
