Looks like the Dunge will answer your questions. He says he also joined Team Wheaties

Dunge is fast on a dirt scooter but not very witty on Reddit. (:

no kidding. I'd imagine Stew would provide a pretty entertaining AMA.
I'd imagine one of Dungey's big outside sponsors put him up to it, probably Team Wheaties since he coincidentally just joined that team.



"how do I get autographed stuff from you"
"how do I get a signed numberplate from you"
"can I have your goggles"
ya scottie, that shit gets pretty dumb since he is mostly likely not going to jot down your address, grab some of his items, sign them and then drive them to the post office.

How do you respond to the allegations that you can not grow a proper mustache?

I think Nike is getting rid of 6.0 Sad At least I couldn't find any when I got some new shoes.

I thought he answered fine... Some of it was about what you expect but he was polite and engaged.... I've read worse on Reddit!

From the comments I've read/seen from Dungey and James, I would imagine they're kinda ok with the fox boots change, James definitely said a few times that it was hard to even get new boots and he was riding with chewed up ones...

AMA mods require better proof than that. Usually, in the form of the AMA subject posting a picture of themselves holding a written piece of paper saying "it's me I'm on reddit" or some such.. to prove they are actually who they say they are.

That said.. Dunge is popular here, but barely a blip on Reddit's radar and as such, didn't attract much care or attention from the mods.

He did OK for a young MXer. If other MX'ers are going to do this it should be advertised way in advance (and broadly, not just on Vital) and probably happen in the evenings - some don't have or can't acccess reddit from work. I think Canard would potentially be a good one, if he ate lots of snickers and drank some RedMonsters in advance.

Madonna's AMAA yesterday was hilarious in contrast. Snoop Dog/Lion is always a riot when he does his. MX just isn't as big a scene so it will take a little more planning to get folks signed up on Reddit.. and asking GOOD/funny questions.

His AMA might be the most disappointing thing on reddit since the infamous safe.

I thought this was interesting:

Q: Have you ever thinking about to come race some GP`s in Europe? And If you dont, why?
A: I have thought about racing the GPs. Maybe after a few more years here.

Personally, I'd love to see it happen.

BAM!

On the other hand, why isn't he wearing the Nike boots? They look awesome! Is JS7 getting rid of them as well?

I thought they were just stopping supporting James and Dunge with those ridiculous boots? I'll be gutted if they get rid of 6.0!!!

I thought Nike did away with the 6.0 name. I don't think the last few pair of boots RD5 or JS7 wore had "6.0" on them. Just the Nike "swoosh".
