. Next year, I think we should try and give some to the hideous security guard. I think we should also film this.
6) Rider Demo, you'll hate me but I'll say it, we need a more exciting display for flatland. A "flashy" rider with some good energetic music playing and an enthusiastic announcer maybe talking about flatland would be leaps and bounds ahead of the current setup.

Anyone paying someone to ride flatland in silence for john q public is a fool.
7- The Chase demos: don't presume that because it isn't your cup of tea that it isn't good for the general audience. People can see style cats with 'flashy' tricks (whatever that means... [dangling bandannas I presume?]) in practice. The demos are a chance to address the general bike show go-er and tell them some of the names of some keystone tricks so they may feel better able to follow along with what is happening on the floor. Music is blaring at all other times so I don't think a little break in the distracting background noise is a problem. Perhaps if I wasn't addressing the MTV generation, having an attention span wouldn't be an issue. If you as a rider don't like the demo then don't watch it, you are not the only person there so don't presume that your trend induced notion of a 'show' is the only one with any currency or appeal. Then again, next time, I guess a few of us could run out and hug Chase after he nails a triple decade to put on an air of 'enthusiasm'.
