I mean Epic.
I got (have) some more..
“That’s how I roll” (thanks Anchorman)
“I just threw up in my mouth a little” (thanks Dodgeball)
“No. Just no.”
Saying “a thing”. Like: "When did yellow tires become a thing?” It was amusing for about two months.
Any time anyone mentions 'kicking puppies', 'punching babies', etc. That was amusing for about three months. Just shut the fuck up already.
-Riders/announcers saying rode instead of ridden. "He's rode Hondas his whole life."
-Other than that, my #1 grammar peeve is probably "should of/could of".
p.s. prolly someone somewhere's pet peeve is people who say 'barf' to show their distaste. #jussayin
Interviewer: "You had a great start, tell us about what went through your mind"
Rider: "Yeah, no it was great"
"Yeah, no"? WTF. Well which one is it? Yes or no?
Can't help but cringe when riders "thank god" on the podium too.

The word myself is not interchangeable with me or I. In fact, the word myself should be the one you hear or use the least.
The trick is to say the same sentence using just the pronoun (myself, I or me) to see if it sounds right. If it can stand alone then it works with the word and as well.
The same thing goes for the word yourself.

Notice that myself and yourself are preceded by the word by. There are exceptions but this is the most common way the two words are used.
For one, I do not wrestle at a collegiate or pro level. So it is comparable to an amateur race. I am very sure someone like Jordan Burroughs is much more physically in shape and mentally strong than someone like Ryan Dungey. Don't give me wrong I love motorcross, it's just funny because all you guys claim that motocross is the most physically demanding sport, when in all actuality it's not. Most of you have not even tried other sports. I said most, not all.
Another one. I seem to get behind the little old lady at Walmart in the check out line. She argues about her coupons being expired or that someone else's shit is still cheaper. Or even worse. Her bill is $19.99 instead of handing over a fucking $20.00 she proceeds to dig thru what looks like a 5 gallon bucket of a pocketbook and digs $19 and 99 fucking pennies from the bottom of it for exact change. Yeah I always seem to find these folks in line also.
and of course metal mulisha, Rock star, and Monster graphics

As for his credentials- he's competed at Mammoth, took 2nd at State in both Folkstyle and Freestyle high school wrestling (oddly enough, his primary sport is neither of the above- it's judo).
"Breaking Bumps." There is no such thing as a breaking bump (unless it breaks your bike.) They are braking bumps. Caused by riders braking. When they are using their [brakes.]
Here are some proper usages of the terms break and brake:
"That thing is going to break if you keep using it like that!"
"Get off the brakes early."
"That bike breaks down too much."
"Eli Tomac breaks his brakes."
From yesterday's "450 Words" column on RacerX:
Before the race I had a bit of an issue with the corner/mud straight right in front of the Red Bull and Lucas Oil hospitality areas and told Karl and Judd Scanlon that it just wasn’t a good idea to flood those corners with water and then disc them 18 inches deep. They relented and worked to get it to be less of a mud bog than just a deep-dug labyrinth of intersecting lines and choppy breaking bumps. We compromised, mostly to their idea of a deep-rut obstacle, and low and behold the 450 overall was decided right there!
