I've ridden Millsaps MX practice bike on a really fun track that I used to rip on in GA. It was a totally different machine. Extremely stiff and harsh, and difficult to turn. Those guys have a way steeper curve on their suspension, forks especially, as they ride much more forward than the average Joe, and WAYYYY faster.
There's only so much safety involved in a sport when it includes 2 wheels, an engine, and big jumps.
To be completely honest with you, I have never though about how to make riding safer (I mean, it would be nice to be able to educate some flaggers on proper flagging protocol, but that's another story). In my opinion it's up to every rider. Blake wears about every piece of safety equipment that he can, except his wrist braces that he shed at the beginning of the season. So basically, it's up to you to wear the equipment, and know your limits on the bike while also being aware of your surroundings.
You really stumped me on that one. I think maybe it's better to ask a racer that question.
Sometimes the sponsor colors match the bike colorway and sometimes they don't. Just the way it is; but, I bet Motorex loves that their decal stands out on the bike!

You know, it's really hard to compare. We never really had an "oh sh*t" moment in our evolution on either series. There's been a "Steady Eddie" approach from everyone on the team. Even Blake. We had to make improvements from day one. He's had to make some improvements with himself in the 450 class in general as well. But to honestly compare one from the other...I can't. The only thing I can say, non bike related, is that he's learned the benefit of recovery...especially in supercross with the long and grueling season. 15 weeks straight is pretty intense. The kid is a workhorse for sure, but he realizes the importance of peaking on race day.
What is the typical life span of your hard parts? Such as; frame, subframe, rims, spikes, hubs, triple clamps, axles, etc?

Thanks for doing this Steve, and Brandon for answering the questions so well and with a great upbeat attitude.
Are they overnighted?
Are the shipments shipped to the tracks or somewhere else? The temptation to open them would be overwhelming.
We do have to overnight most times because of the time of labor involved with dissasembling, inspecting, and assembling suspension and engines. Normally, they are shipped to the hotel that we're staying in.
I'll ask about you? How old are ya? Family (married, kids)? Where did you grow up? Who introduced you to riding bikes and what was your bike skill level (a, b,c,d)? Do you still ride.
Again, thanks. You've been awesome to follow in this thread.
You really need to figure out what marker it is you are using! For real, the Expo's just are not cutting it.
Thanks for chatting today. I would say good luck tomorrow but luck is for losers.
Cheers my friend,
JG
I'll get to you guys later tonight!
