We don't write for a supposedly major MX magazine. If you do that, you should have someone proofreading the work you are putting out. When running a business you need to be professional, spelling mistakes make the company look, well I think you can guess what it makes the company look like. Seems the only people that support MXA know Jody, or someone who works for them...

I never see a typo in the magazine and BFD if there is a typo on the website. I put whining about this into the same category as people who complain about Vital.....


BTW, I know all the MXA Wrecking Crew and am proud to call those guys my friends.



PS Regarding the RC Des Nations deal Steve Whitlock gave MXA the RC information but don't let the facts stop you from flapping.
The internet is full of typo's.

I used to think MXA was core, until they started selling their magazines in the mall and everyone could buy one.

There must be some kind of moto magnet at the No Fear store in the mall.

Who worries about the misspellings when the whole rag reads like op ed piece. I expect product reviews and particularly bike “tests” or “shootouts” be penned with some objective comments but their tabloid style of journalism limits their comments to drivel.

For example, check out the latest 450 shootout. Read the last paragraphs of the RMZ450 and the KX450 portions and then ask yourself which one of these bikes won and which one got fifth.

Why would the shootout winner have a longer “What we hated” list and worse overall comments than the last place bike? That is why I will never buy anything sitting on the news stand from Hi Torque, their rags are on par with the sensationalistic crap lining the supermarket checkout stands.

Uh huh, and that's why none of the other magazines posted he was in, or did they not post he was in because they were actually at the race and had R.C's or the teams word that he was in fact out? Lets just look over the fact that Lawrence was supposedly fired by YOT then re-hired and then fired again, yet somehow is still riding for them. Then after all of that lets forget all the other mistakes they have made and call them a reliable magazine because there a good bunch of guys.

I don't understand why MXA posts articles on their web site with so many grammatical errors. Can't somebody proofread the articles before posting them?

I won't repeat what I posted earlier since you are fixated.

You are entitled to your opinion but how many times did you race this year? How many factory bikes did you ride?


BTW, MXA was right about Lawrence but no sense introducing the truth into the discussion is there? You can have the last word

Are you simple? It was a very concise shootout, so what that one bikes' complaint list was a bit longer than others? BIAS lol
