2. Riders who say "I can't thank my sponsors" but never end the sentence with "enough".
3. Everyone using imho. Is your opinion really humble and if you're on Vital more than likely you are only giving your opinion and not fact and everyone already knows that imho.

My biggest pet peeve is that the homosexual democrat mafia has made straight white males who go to work and pay their taxes the ENEMY. It's cool to be a piece of shit. The whole "no fucks given" thing has gone too far.

I'm just curious because I've been hearing this a lot lately. If you want to talk politics, I'm libertarian, not liberal. My political views are pretty wide open. Not "attacking you" I'm curious, explain, please.

Wow, that really hurt your feelings? Yet, you even wrote "lighten up" as your signature....perplexing.

I would like to lobby for a tax to be applied to those who continue to use the words "fresh" and "on-point".

And speaking of words, Grants brand HILTN is trying way to hard to create their own "new" trendy words like "grease". I'm guessing it's an attempt to give their brand a literal voice, but, stop it.

Certain words drive me insane.

People that say MX is the toughest sport in the world.
Yes its tough but really have you ever played football?
have a guy that weighs 280 and can run a 4.8 hit you then talk to me about it.
They are equal no one above the other one.

"Anybody that says football or any other sport is more physically demanding than motocross.. I actually got in a little argument about that with my weight training teacher the other day.
He's trying to say football is harder than moto, smh.. I tried to get him to just wrap his mind around what these guys go through. 35 minute motos, no breaks, 100+ degree weather, the painful roost, AND riding a 230 pound machine between your legs. I told him to just imagine running in 100 degree weather as fast as he can with 30lb dumbbells for 35 minutes without stopping at all, WHILE being shot with a paintball gun.
He's just like "oh you just twist a throttle and go, and dirt can't hurt that bad."
And Im just like.."

I was going to say I hate the term kit too, but having two peeves in the same post I sure would have been called out for being whiny and having sand in the labes. Grinning "That kit is on-point" surely makes your skin crawl too right? ugh.. Can't stand it. I think I have heard them refer to graphics as a kit too which makes just a hair more sense than a set of gear. Either way it drives me nuts.

"on point" originates from an activity much older than motocross - ballet.
The correct usage is en pointe.

A picture will help.. the shoes are the points.

People who walk around holding their phone at their mouth talking on speaker. NEWS FLASH: The people on tv that you're imitating only do it so you, the viewer, can hear the conversation, not because it's cool.

confidence, Jeff Emig brings it up every five sentences, how important it is to win.
BUT I remember an interview with RV, just as he was hitting the PRO ranks, he said there is no such thing as confidence, you just go to the track and the guy who is the fastest around the dirt track wins.

Any cliche sayings. If some analogy gets made and it keeps getting used, it just proves a lack of originality.

I've seen "changing of the guard" a LOT lately. Isn't that originally a military phrase used to define when soldiers changed shifts?

I think that's where a lot of my disdain for Ralph comes from. He has so many cliche sayings it's not even funny.

It is what it is. Why do you even say anything when you say that? Such a brilliant statement.
