for every reasonable family like yours, there's 10 others chasing the dream that won't happen
I'm guessing you went to Brown?
Ever read the bio on Jake Weimer? His dad bet the family farm...
bullshit, yeah sure why not. white trash was alittle harsh, but its still incredibly dumb, nonethless. (the motolife)
yeah, ive read about jake weimer. for every guy who makes it to a factory team, theres a wake of failures with nothing to show for it except for broken bones and a late start in reality. and lets face it, these people aren't exactly geniuses to begin with and they never had proper guidance either..read below
have you ever heard about jason lawrence, ryan mills, ben riddle, austin stroupe, brian swink? not to mention the other countless number of punk idiots who were handed everything and threw it all away
All perfect examples of exactly what im talking about. all degenerates doing nothing with their lives.
Swink isnt a bad guy i dont think, but listening to his podcast was really depressing. Here was a dude who at one point in his life was one of the best motocross racers in the country and now hes working at a company assembling x-ray machines for minimum wage
"DERRRRRR MOTOCROSS"
lol, fuckin puhh-lease dude.
i dont need to know their life story, its common knowledge they fucked up.
Soon after you turn pro you will learn this sport and all its sponsorship money are focused on just just a very few chosen riders.
For most of you riders on the road to becoming a pro I feel sorry for you because you have been brain washed by an illusion that if you put everything into this sport you will end up on a so called factory team making millions.
This dream of being that one or two riders is a grand illusion put out their with the alliance between motorcycle distributors and promoters both of which are making the bulk of the money the Mx/sx racing business generates.
99.9 % of pro riders coming up will earn less then it cost to ride at a professional level but by then it's too late your have wasted the last 15 years learning only how to ride and race motorcycle and have invested all your money either on tracks riding coaches and amateur racing.
Now if you want to do anything else you have to start over.
99.9 % of you riders that make it to pro will leave this sport very disappointed with life long physical emotional and mental disorders that you will be forced to deal and live the rest of your life

People make mistakes in all walks of life, and there is often a laundry list of circumstances that play into decisions and outcomes.
Look, being a pro golfer doesnt destroy your body and even if you dont make it as a pro, its a good game to know how to play should you choose to use your brain in the business world later on in life..
the amount of money, pain, dedication and time it takes to get to the pro levels of motocross aren't worth it.
busting your ass just to fill up up the gate for DC and Feld or whatever ain't worth it, just to line their pockets with your own blood.
Whats the difference between someone who flips burgers at a fast food restaurant and the average pro motocross racer?
The burger flipper actually makes money
Plenty of folks pursue things as a hobby, nothing wrong with that. Mortgaging your future for a job that isnt there than having the nerve to complain about it, ask for hand outs, is what i think is entirely pathetic.
I simply stated that it reflects poorly on the parents because investing in a pro motocross career is about the worst thing a parent can do if they want to see their child succeed later on in life and investing in a golf career is probably just as good as an investment as going to college due to the socioeconomics of it and other tangible benefits
not taking responsibility for ones actions seems to be the America way these days
Pit Row
You do realize you are arguing/talking shit to 2 of the most level headed, moto-educated, "been around the sport" people on this site right? I'd say they know more about the finances, effort, reward, people, hell...they have both forgot more about this sport and the people in it than your dumb ass will ever know....
no scholarship no go.
i've been paying too fuckin' much for school loans for the last 6 years and i only have 14 to go.
i would never take racing back, ever. but i would never take my education back either. it's a pity this country is so fucked up that an education is harder to pay for than a new F350 and toyhauler tacked onto a $300k mortgage.
ps... when are we going to get another video of your son ripping a smoker? how about putting him on a 300? he'll never want to ride a 250 again
Not defending the dude but nothing was ever said about race... Just like a fukn Liberal.
He's just sayin though...

Anyway, we had a blast riding/racing. We still do actually but now my grandson has joined in on the family fun!
Explain to me why dead beat dads come on here and ask for hand outs to get their kids to amateur races?
It's sad that so many people can't take responsibility for their own actions then come on here and complain or beg..#pathetic
A- Obviously that's what happens when you let a woman use a keyboard instead of a frying pan...
(Sarcasm alert for those that my think I was serious)
