Dude, I just saw that video yesterday for the first time. I used to ride and road trip with Tom quite a bit back in the day when he would come down to Oklahoma. He has always had a natural ability to go extremely high, even before he had a lot of tricks ... more »

That's awesome. I hung out with an old friend the other night who is a deputy sheriff. After listening to him talk for thirty minutes I have so much respect for those guys. Not an easy job at all.

Could somebody explain to me why Republicans did not care about this issue when Bush was in office?

Dungey was more likely just upset by the fact he got passed during a weekend he seemed to be letting it all hang out. If he had passed RV back and won the moto, I doubt he would have been bothered much by it. He even said it was "just racing" after he ... more »

Thanks for the information and link. I'm kinda disappointed in my sociology professors for never covering this topic. I'm shocked Limbaugh would say such a thing, but then again... I'm not.

I think everyone is well aware of that. What's interesting is the neurological research on lead poisoning and aggression. If this happened only in a few cities and in a few nations I would be skeptical.

How many years, two or three? From the article it said a paper was published in an environmental journal that went pretty much unnoticed in the criminal justice field. I thought it was quite possibly the raddest thing I've learned this year. I'm surprised ... more »

I need more ram. I thought my computer was going to crash opening this thread lol. Great stuff, as usual. Did you get a new camera? The color looks really nice in these photos.

Man, I don't know why, but sometimes I enjoy these races just as much as the one on today

I always considered them "The Force".

Not quite, but close. One of the greatest athletes to ever grace the soil of High Point.

That's right! I was totally imagining the Texas national, track layout, and everything. Total brain fart. I just tried to find a video of it online but no luck.

Seriously, Great Thread. 2008 - his Lakewood leap past Davi Millsaps for the lead. He came up a bit short, but he turned something into a double that nobody else probably even considered trying. 2007 - Can't remember the race, but the supercross finish ... more »

I agree.... I hate that "you're only good as your last race" phrase. I doubt people actually believe it if you were to ask them, but riders sure do get treated accordingly. Someday when I feel motivated I would like to type an argument against that and ... more »

That's cool! I was wondering if that's what you used during the photos, or actually rented a chopper lol. I think it would be pretty rad to take a photo while the racing action is happening with bikes scattered all over the track.
