When the wind is at your back and you can smell your 2 stroke exhaust when you brake for a corner.

The smell of your bikes when you open your garage, shed whatever. I don't know what it is but dirtbikes have their own scent.

When you nail a tricky rhythm for the first time

When you head to the track by yourself but end up never being by yourself as the day goes on #motobros

When you are sitting at work on Monday and the only thing you can think about is your weekend ride...and my sore legs. haha

what else do you guys got?

yeah reminds me of the Nationals back in the 90s...You would be laying in bed and could still smell that sweet exhaust!!!

Nothing beats those feelings

.....when you rail a rut perfectly
.....when you wring out your bike (especially 125 Wink )
.....when you get to the track, all your buddies are there, the track is perfetly prepped, you start your bike and you know "its gonna be an awesome day".
....when you win a race
.....when you hold it wide open all the way through a turn

Theres so much more i could write Smile

nailing a particularly technical line up a rocky rough hill on your first try

a fun and challenging ride with your old man on an early December day while everyone else is christmas shopping

rolling into LaPaz after 1400 grueling miles on your 2-stroke that everyone said wouldn't make it

a beej during the 4th quarter watching the Lions win while drinking a cold one

That moment that time stops when you are waiting for a dead engine start...
12/8/2014 2:10pm
When you just KNOW there was no way you could've gone through that corner or section of the track any faster.

Being the first on the track in the morning right after they groom the track - no ruts or bumps, just flat out EVERYWHERE

That moment when you wake up at the track because someone started up their bike, and for half a second you are mad at being woken up, but then a smile comes across your face because hey, you're at the races and it's time to get up and get going

Fresh tires on a well prepped track


And one for Peely, there is NOTHING better than making it up a tricky section on the first try and then watching your buddies struggle for attempt after attempt. Eventually you're like here let me help you, but you can't help but have a stupid grin on your face.

Pulling a massive holeshot on your 250 2t against a field of 450's.

Jumping that big scary jump the first time.

Coming out of a corner and aplying perfect power and your front end comes up about 3 inches and you hold it there all the way down the next straight.

In all seriousness...

That 1st Beer with your friends at Land's End.
...LaPaz
...anywhere at the far-end of Baja Sur

It's beyond explanation.

The closest I can get is "Stoked on Accomplishment"

Nothing beats ....


A new bike

A new set of tires

Ripping a holeshot

Going balls out on a freshly prepped track first

When 250 2 stroke power hits coming off a corner

My favorite feeling on the bike comes when free riding with your buds and you spot a new double. Everybody is sizing it up and taking runs. Then you decide to pull the trigger and just hold the throttle. The feeling you get that first time, when the airtime surprises you a little but you land right in the sweet spot. That's the best feeling to me. It's made a little sweeter when you roll back around and all your friends are cheering. Then everybody starts hitting it. It doesn't get any better for me.

Nothing beats........sitting at my kitchen table having a morning cup of coffee ..........watching the sun come up over a freshly groomed SX track! Cool

Going WFO on a perfectly prepped sand track

New tyres

Couple of beers at the end of a race day with your mates
12/8/2014 6:35pm
Being the first one out for practice at Mammoth, track is smooth and your 125 is jetted perfectly.
Only happened once for me and to this day the thought of it gives me goose bumps.
Sitting on the beach totally spent drinking a cold beer with 3 of my friends after an all day ride through Costa Rican jungle to get there.

We didn't race, it was a 7 man ride from Tecate to LaPaz over 7 days and 1400 miles. Like Manny said, that feeling of accomplishment is pretty hard to beat

I just love feeling in the zone, where I'm not fighting the bike or anything, just riding. It happens at the track, or it happens at the coast trails. Wish I could experience it more often!

Nothing beats the feeling of railing sands berms on the pegs because its so rough and you get the "Flow"
Nothing beats the feeling of anger when you see Amateurs valve bouncing 450's.

Great stuff ! Keep em coming!

When you go riding on a Saturday before a supercross race that night. And then you get home and crack open a nice cold one and talk about the day of riding and who we think is gonna win.

Also, going to a pro national for the whole weekend and riding all day Friday and partying with your moto buddies every night of the weekend with your emotions all built up for saturday.
