Dear MXA

What's up?

It's des, not of.
Don't make gas tanks black, but I switched the white tank to black.
Here is someone training. It's Boring!
Here is something else distantly related to MX on YouTube. It's totally Boring. Ha!
Here is a crash. Stupid people crash. Ha ha!

Really?
Ya feelin' a little blue?

If you need to say something along the lines of, oh... I don't know,"MX is full of whiny shits being orchestrated by devil spawn destroying your souls with corporatist greed", (I'm guessing), then say it and offer an alternative.
Do something other than ride KTMs slowly and whinge about how you modified them wrong.
Because it's not interesting, clever or constructive.
And you used to be all of those things, and we're a bit low on that now.

What does Lovely Louella think about this?

I like Motocross Action, but it is not my place to defend them, except ... the Des/Of argument can't be pinned on Motocross Action. That is a Luongo/FIM change and MXA are just adhering to the new name change. If they didn't they would be brutally slandered for hanging onto the past.

Check your facts before whining Mr. N00b 89 posts!

The event's name has been officially anglicised (as Motocross of Nations "MXON") since 2004, when Youthstream was awarded promotional rights for the World Motocross Grand Prix, although the general moniker Des Nations or MXDN is still very much in use.

No need to capitalize the word "spelling," either.

I'm not sure what "whinge" is, but it sure is fun to say.

Ok, hopefully this question wont hi jack the thread but, when does one cross over from NOOB to regular Vitard??? Is there some magical number of posts', or length of time being a member that I am unaware of?

Yeah, the magical number is . . .

My bad. I can see how my incomplete punctuation may have confused some.

I'm well aware of MXoN / MXdN history. I remember '81. I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me.
I'm not threatened by the use of a preposition in the middle of two english words, nor do I think either version is somehow incorrect or threatening.

I like MXA too Swapper. I was questioning the necessity or value of the trivial issues that MXA is obsessing about lately.
They provide an alternate point of view, but lately seem to be contrary just for the sake of it.
It's getting a bit old. Or maybe Jody is. Or maybe I am!

Just wondered if anyone else, who likes MXA or not, was getting the same vibe.

Whinge and whine are synonymous.
Honestly. Its like being called ugly by a frog.

One of the few magazines I used to actually buy. Like most of us there's almost no need for magazines anymore thanks to the internet. I stopped buying it myself a while ago. It started to seem pretty bias after a while, and like they were just using the mag to vent. Not very good motivation to keep buying their product. Good chance if they see this that they'll use the mag to vent about it too.

MXA is a great magazine. It is different than RacerX, but is still "bathroom worthy" and is in my current rotation.

What's up?

Don't make gas tanks black, but I switched the white tank to black.
Here is someone training. It's Boring!
Here is something else distantly related to MX on YouTube. It's totally Boring. Ha!
Here is a crash. Stupid people crash. Ha ha!

Really?
Ya feelin' a little blue?

If you need to say something along the lines of, oh... I don't know,"MX is full of whiny shits being orchestrated by devil spawn destroying your souls with corporatist greed", (I'm guessing), then say it and offer an alternative.
Do something other than ride KTMs slowly and whinge about how you modified them wrong.
Because it's not interesting, clever or constructive.
And you used to be all of those things, and we're a bit low on that now.

What does Lovely Louella think about this?
Is this a haiku?

Roses are red,
You are a moron.
