I'm trying to clean out my stuff out of my parents basement and I ran across a bunch of my old MX trophies from the 1980's and 1990's. I really hate to throw them out, but I hate to keep them as well. What have you guys done with your old 'glory days' stuff like trophies? I've thought about peeling off all the trophy name/place plates and doing something with them. Should I just take them to Goodwill?

Maybe some of the taller ones that are 3ft -4ft, I should get a new name plate that says something like "2011 Red Bud National, Lites Class First Place" and see if anyone bids on it.
What does the Boy's and Girls club do with them?
The Shop
At least pull off all the name plates and put them on a mat and frame.
I think Lee (ThePipe) has a jump on his track where he has a bunch of old trophies buried underneath it. It's called the " trophy " jump.
I still have a bunch hanging around. Many have self destructed.
I have thought about taking them apart,and constructing one huge trophy by combining them all together. Probably harder to store than a bunch of individual ones, though.
I don't really need the shelf space in my garage yet ! lol
Pit Row
Old trophy junk from the "80's".
Wish I had kept at least a few for the memories.
Early in my racing days I saw a tip in a magazine to take a marker and record where, when, and how you got a trophy on the bottom. Glad I did that.
I am a promoter so I recycled a few of mine.
A few, like my first one, will go with me to the nursing home.
Others, ehhhh.
The real treasure you get in this sport is the friends you make and the memories you have.
Now, that i am approaching 59, I keep the plaques I earn. All the trophies from years past, I never picked up or gave them to the neighborhood kids.
Yup.
I tried to give mine back to the local trophy shop years ago and they didn't even want them.....ouch!
It's true I buried mine and do call it the Trophy Jump
I also shot a Squirrel and made a jump out of him. The Squirrel Jump
