Regis... disagree. Brotocross is character. He can either be owned or own the character.... if he owns it, it will last. He will be the Perez Hilton of MX

The only thing wrong with the whole deal is posting the recording.

BRO's blog was gold and he gave entertainment mixed with good facts.

Don't take the bitch way out, Eazy. Own up and move on with the same thing you've been doing this whole time.

If anything, this got him some huge hit numbers to the site, for what it's worth anyway

I think our sport is too small for this. I hope he owns the character but I believe the sport would be scared to be associated with him. The pits are an awfully small place where you see the same people 28 weekends a year. The same companies sponsor web pages / series' / advertisements in SX, a true journalist has to be so political in our sport.

Trust me, I think anonymous would be way better for a guy like this. Look at PING, he was f'ing hilarious but got a lot of heat for things he said and had to back it down. It's just the way it is in our sport. Too small.

I hope BRO pushes on.... He isn't associated with any mag, or advertisers so he has a chance. He just needs to keep it real and still get access. He biggest allies can be the guys on the inside who wish they were in position to say what he can say.

Brotard is nothing more than a hater, going through life with a big chip on his shoulder wishing he could grow up to be half as good as any of the Alessi boyz.He sounds as much of a crying little bitch in the phone call as he does in his blog.I hope now that his name is known that he gets now more press and crawls back under his rock or better yet just fucking hangs himself.

Sorry Guyb, I forgot to mention you as well. With all due respect, you have been around for a long time and done a lot of moto reporting. Even if you won't (can't) admit it a small part of you wishes you had the freedom of writing things the way he does.

I am sure even on this web site you've wished you could tell some of US Glamis Dunes, competition hill shooting, coors light drinking BRO's to STFU. However, with any business you run, you can't say exactly what we know you want to.


That is what was the entertaining part about BRO.

Broto is actually quite the decent rider by the looks of it.
All the riding is from 5-15 seconds pretty much, wouldn't worry about watching the rest.

The beauty of these new computers is that you can choose what you want to search for, you dont like him.. dont click his blog. I personally find most of his stuff funny.

It's not as if anyone has cut his hands off. He can, and likely will, still post the same garbage as before. It's just now he'll actually have to have a pair of testicles to do so.

Not going anywhere. BROtocross has never been hard-hitting journalism. It's where I make fun of shit. And will continue to.

It's not like his identity was some kind of secret. He's posted here for years and I remember him asking for our votes with that video.

At the end of the day what difference would it make? Why would he have to stop doing his thing? He doesn't go to most of the events so its not like access is going to be a big issue.

I like a lot of his stuff, so I hope he keeps it rolling.

I don't necessarily agree.

I believe, in our sport all journalists hands are tied, essentially cut off There isn't a jounalist out there that "doesn't give a f&@$" because they all have paychecks and people to answer to.They can't afford to rub people the wrong way.

I'm not saying BRO is a jounalist, but that's what makes it great.

Was the phone call removed? I see the story but not the recording. Maybe I'm missing it.

On an unrelated topic I think I read somewhere that you have a podcast? If so where can peoe listen to it?

Thanks and keep it up BRO

Who the hell is Eli Moore? Never heard of him and how does he have any inside scoop and why would Tony Alessi call him?

he writes some pretty entertaining stuff and some pretty immature stuff at times too. but he's far from any broader definition of the word "journalism". He's a blogger, and one who writes well and, since this racing industry is so tiny, a guy who can get press access once in a while because it's not like there's a line of kids coming out of college with a journalism degree who are trying to find a job in MX racing.

Yeah, he pulled it down. It wasn't anywhere near the level it's being made out to be though.

Basically, Tony called Eazy up and called him out on talking shit about Mike & Jeff. Eazy played dumb for awhile and then Tony invited Eazy to the MotoConcepts rig in Houston. Eazy was like "uhh, not sure if I'm going to that race."
