I'm challenging the rest of you to put Dungey on the top of this thing. Whether you are a Dungey fan or not is irrelevant. There is a real shot here for us to put one of the stars of our sport on a mainstream canvas that millions will see. Many of us complain about the Busch League nature of our sport and how we cant attract mainstream attention and sponsors, well here is our chance. Lets remove the flat bill 909, Mulisha stereotype from our sport and show the world that it is a professional, serious sport. I am logging my 2 workouts every day and I challenge all of you do as well. If even a 1/4 of the members here would just log 10 workouts, Dungey would kill this thing. Come on!!!! Use your trail rides, your mountain biking, your weight sessions. Any exercise counts.

Lets do this!!!!

Done, logged my riding today. I have no idea how many calories I burn, but I'll keep logging every time I ride or go to the gym. The sport really needs this, go Dungey!

Nobody will do it, we all like to talk her... not take action.

I've logged a few ones, it seems pretty easy to fake a workout. I wonder how many people do.

If you scroll through the list of activities, virtually ANYTHING qualifies as a workout. It lists things like mopping, vacuuming, gardening and even intimacy. Motocross made the cut, too.

Amazingly, I've been able to log 2 workouts a day since the program started. Remember, they have to be at least 30 minutes to qualify and you can go back and log workouts for past days that you didn't log at the time.

if girls can get credit for vacuuming and making sandwiches then there is no way us guys can win this cover, all we do is drink beer and ride on Sunday.

Click on the link I posted. Basically, you vote by logging workouts. It takes 30min to be a qualifying workout. You can go on there and manually enter it or do like I do and get the free app and it does it automatically. If we all could just a few workouts, we could help put motocross on the mainstream map.

Doing my bit. Everyone should have 56 workouts logged as of today!

Manually go back and add two workouts a day over 30 minutes. Don't feel bad if you didn't actually do them. I noticed on day 1 the leader board was all 24hr straight workouts. There's absolutely no doubt the soccer girl is leading due to dodgy workout logging. Dungey has way way more twitter followers so it makes no sense that she has such a massive lead right now. Dungey was right there then overnight her votes skyrocketed.

Bump.

Come on guys, I've gone back and logged all my workouts for the month, if we all put in just a few we are guaranteed to win this thing! Everyone loves to talk about growing the sport, and now it's time to put up or shut up. We are going to find out who really cares about the sport, do your part and log some activities!

Wow. Super easy to sign up and just as easy to log a workout. No reason to not help out our sport and one of the great riders in it.

I'll log another workout after getting back from class tonight.

I am starting today.

It would be awesome to walk into the grocery store and see RD5 on a Wheaties box. Here's an "unofficial" version I created in Photoshop on how it might appear. Hoping this will entice more moto fans to vote!

That looks awesome Paul! Now how cool would that look on the wall in you're shop!Woohoo

I just logged two more, lets make it happen guys. Talk is cheap, but this could be big! If you really care, now is the time to prove it, we have a big gap to make up, but if every just logged one or two it would make up a lot of ground.

Once you are on the http://www.mapmyfitness.com/challenges/WheatiesNEXT/home/leaderboard -> go to my workouts like it's shown in the pic.



It will open a page where you have a calendar - there you can backdate workouts - and they will count for the challenge if they are afterwards July 1 (I think if everyone would do it so, then Dungey would have a chance - we are now 13k away - but it's still possible)

And remember you can log two workouts per day (they need to be longer than 30 min) - and it will count!

We have the gap down below 9000. Come
On people, let's do this!!!!!! There is no doubt we have made a huge dent. We have cut the deficit in half since I created this thread.
