Do you guys remember this from Southwick 2012? He hit that tree hard. I always wondered if this hurt his shoulder. I wonder if some of the damage being repaired now is from this...

Cleared out 500 acres of land for a motocross track but we use a tree for the corner marker. No wonder this is still a chump ass sport. A haybale and saran wrap should lure in some great outside the industry sponsors! Even better would have been an old stained mattress from the rent by the hour motel down the street.

Of course this is where an industry insider would normally come in and say "if you don't think the track is safe you should go home", or "don't hit the tree and there won't be a problem".

Like most riders for sure. I ended up with a pair of poto gloves at Millville and they were size small.

I know how that is. I'm a size small to x-small glove (depending on the brand), size 30 pants (used to wear a 28, damn office work!), medium jersey, size 8 1/2 to 9 boots, and a medium helmet (the one normal size thing I wear...)

Funny you should say that.....

RC meanwhile had big hands for a little guy.

I swear his mits got bigger every season. hahaha

Somebody in the pits pointed that out to me. I thought that maybe decades of riding and hanging onto those bars for slim life did it.

Or maybe it was "Aldon's GH Brew".....(snap!)

Just kiddin' champ.
