Hell, most local A/Pro dudes can't afford to look that good anyways!

"All show and no go". "All bling and no sting".Silly But as you said, if he's having fun–it's all that matters.
I've known more than a few guys like that but the worst thing is when they think they're legit.

If I had a bad race my dad would say, "at least you were the fastest looking loser on the track".
It was tongue in cheek.

Guys like that keep the sport alive. He probably paid retail or very well close to that on everything he bought (hopefully).

Looked to me like he was having problems getting his bike set up. Either that or jet lag.

First... that guy pulled the hole shot.

Second, he got cross rutted and the bike threw him... nothing worse that has happened to JS7 a time or 2. Besides, he was tring to clear that monster from the inside, absolutely insane if you ask me! HA!

Third, it would be worse to get passed on your 450 up hill by a kid on a 50, then he jumps the triple , throwing a sideways look back dog pisser, as you go single, single, single.

lol, very nice!!

speaking of "no visors"... i raced the Goldrush at Hallet a couple of years back and when i get to the starting line i see all these guys with no visors, im wondering whats up with all these redneck hillibillies with no visors. well... after the green flag dropped and we hit about 75mph on the road race section and the wind caught my visor and about pulled me off the back of the bike i realized why they didnt have visors and that the only "redneck hillbillie" on the starting line was me!!!

I think it's lame that some guy feels the need to bash some dude just cause he's not fast. He even wasted time recording it.

So what? Maybe that rider borrowed the bike and gear? Maybe he bought everything just like that used? Maybe he makes $200K a year and can buy the best regardless of his speed? Maybe, even though he is not particularly talented on an MX bike, he really enjoys the sport, exercise, and comraderie? There is nothing wrong with any of that.

One thing that constantly amazes me is that some people think that being fast on a dirt bike somehow validates you as a person. Let me tell you, it's basically a useless skill that only a tiny fraction of the world's population even gives 2 shits about. Being fast (or slow) doesn't mean you are a good person or any other random attribute you place on an athlete. It just means a guy can ride around in circles pretty good.

Completely agree. What I do not understand is that the majority of people in the sport judge others based on speed vs how "factory" one looks. Knowing that, I'd never have all the top of the line stuff if I were unable to bring the speed as well.

Perfectly content with my stock graphics and year-old closeout gear. Id rather be underestimated than overestimated.

Also, being a young American, he most likely can't afford that stuff. I guarantee you he owes his bank a nice chunk of money for all that new gear and toy. But that's another issue all together.
