Rest Day on http://crossfit.com
Skill Day on http://crossfitkids.com

Currently 4239 votes right now. Up from 3964 yesterday.
Top vote in the category that CrossFit Brand X/CrossFit Kids HQ is competing in is currently 16376. Up from about 15188 yesterday.

CrossFit Brand X is a CrossFit Affiliate in Ramona California. It’s a small town, not affluent, not poor, but the district schools are as under-funded there as they are anywhere. Despite the fact that CrossFit Brand X is also the Headquarters of the CrossFit Kids program and where the program was developed and continues to be developed, most of the schools have little exposure to CrossFit. This grant would bring CrossFit Kids to one school in the Ramona area and allow the CrossFit Kids program to make an enormous difference to the lives of the kids at that school.

We have the ability to make that happen.
All you have to do is create a login to the Power a Brighter Future site and every day, go there and vote for CF Kids. If you’re in the US, also text “clorox3829” to 44144 and you’ve voted twice. Do that every day until December 9th. That’s it. That’s your extra credit WOD.

GD has helped thousands of people get started with CrossFit and this is important to him. If you have benefited from his advice or the scalings he’s priovided, here’s your chance to pay him back.

Please vote and spread the word.
We can do this.

So about 3000 people come here each day to get the free scaling we do every night.  24/7, 365 days a year.  We rarely ask anything of our members or the people who come here.  Right now we are asking you to vote so that CF Kids can get a grant to teach CrossFit to kids from 1st through 6th grade.  It takes just a few seconds to text a vote.  We could have 3000 votes a day, if you all took a few seconds to text a vote in.  The highest vote right now after two days of voting is around 1000, we have 98.  I’ll post a few reminders please help..

Ok so this is my first post. Sorry I’m gonna rant. After powerlifting 20+ years ago and destroying my body since then. I found Crossfit at my local box. After a little research I thought great mobility, strength, agility.  Sweet. But not so much the case at the box the scaling were minimized and the expectation was to just do the Rx’d weights. I know better. So I moved back to the garage and put together my own. I found this forum a couple of weeks ago and use the FREE scaling everyday along with the roughly 3000 other people daily. I couldn’t do or be doing what I’m doing without it. So in the last week there has been between 2200 and 4000 people check the FREE WOD SCALING here and we can only put in 301 f’in votes. After doing Grace for the first time (95lbs @ 2:55 and almost puking) I know were not f’in lazy. We know you can use a computer and are even probably looking this up on a phone since your here. I know the difference these guys have made in my life and I’ve never met or will probably never meet them. They do it out of a love for the experience. It only takes 30 seconds to vote and I’m sure it takes longer than that for them to put together the scalings we so love. I vote 2 times a day my kids text ( there mom thinks they need phones, I don’t remember having a phone at 13) another rant. There following the kids WODs now and I even talked my wife into voting. So COME on how come we can’t help this guy out. Garddawg I was doing a little math if you charged $25 a year to the roughly 3000 people you could raise $75000 for the project. Just saying. I know that’s not you or your goals but a solution. THANK YOU for what you do and what you are trying to do.  My wife is a teacher so I hear daily about the lack of funding. So people if your going to USE it SUPPORT it. If not your a jack butt!

That’s kinda how I feel, too.  If the traffic numbers are accurate for this site, the votes should pile up.  I’m also new to this site.  I can’t really afford to go to the CF gym in my area, so the scalings on this site are really helpful to me.  I have no allegiance to a grade school in Ramona, CA, but the information on this site is provided for free.  A couple clicks of the mouse is the least I can do to show my gratitude.  I think that everyone that uses the services on this site should vote, not necessarily for the program, even though it is a very good one, but to show appreciation and respect for the person/people that provides the services on this site.  It does seem, though, that the people that participate on this forum vote and vote often, so maybe the rants from the new guys is equivalent to preaching to the choir.

Resting.
