Sounds like you guys got em all, so I'll venture off-track.

-When a still-loading webpage lurches downward and you misclick
-When people start talking at the same time on a radio show or podcast -- Matthes has done this -- they're interrupted, so they repeat themselves, only to get interrupted again, on and on, 4 or 5 times at worst. Just fucking kill me.
-Liberal/Conservative bickering and straw men

when someone says two smoker (or just smoker) instead of two stroke. almost as bad as the "git'r done" and "no doubt about it" phase we suffered through.

People who practice 'sections' of a track by hopping on and off the track in arbitrary spots, often not looking behind them before they slow down / exit the track. I was cleaned out at high speed at IMI near Denver 2 years ago by one of these idiots.

People who judge you for riding a 125 two stroke from 2003 instead of a brand new 250/450 four stroke.

Two stroke purists

Four stroke purists

Sandbaggers

People who clean you out on practice days.

People who race every weekend and think that they are better riders than you because of it.

Wheelie boyz

I wish our B classes were STACKED. Our C classes are stacked in Ohio. Nobody leaves that damn division.

Damn, is there anything that everybody likes at the track? I've called 2-strokes 2-smokes since I was a little kid 20+ years ago. I had no idea I was scratching my nails on the chalkboard saying that.

Professional practice riders that go to the race track the Wednesday before the race and post stuff on social media "getting ready for this weekend" to a race they're not showing up for!




Ps I have nothing against pro practice guys but when you do stuff like that you look like an A-hole, and sadly where I live there's tons of those guys

Sandbaggers in the lower classes. You onow the ones that youve seen in the same exact class for a few years that race he vet tracks but practice only on the main tracks.
The way some places water the tracks. Either i get a dust bowl or a mud pit.
The lack of flaggers or lack of knowledge some flaggers have during races.

People on their cell phones talking overly loud just be heard.. But they sound like their stupid as hell

People wearing sunglasses inside or when it's dark outside.. Then say they can't see or read something


A rider that try's to pass you on a straigh, just to slam the breaks on at a jump in the middle

Beginner / vet riders w/ brand new blinged out bikes and all their gear have their name and # on 'em.... Just a hater.. Ha ha

A nice sunny day in Ca, a day off... But too freekn' hot to go out and ride

The neighbors kids playing on my lawn after I just mowed and edged it!!! Get off my lawn! Smile

Magazines that put out a yearly "sexiest woman or man alive"issue.

Sorry but I can go to any mall in America and find a chick hotter than jennifer anniston or Katy Perry.
Also girls in high school that thought they were so hot and so much better than others, then I find out they're now working at a tanning salon or a makeup counter in a department store making $10 an hour. LOL.

- People that are stuck in the 70's and think Honda and Yamaha are the only bikes with good "fit and finish".
- Motocross purists that think motocross should be on grass hills with no jumps. Bikes have evolved, move on from your pogo-shock suitable, boring-ass tracks.
-Lifted trucks with large stickers on the windows.
-metal mulisha
-sikspak
-People that lie about why they sucked, or that lie about the position they finished.

Agree... 50 bucks for 12 laps...
Harescrambles with MX tracks integrated are the answer.

Bouncing off rev limiters in the pits during engine destruction, I mean warm up.

I'm holier than thou Pros and Joes alike.

Arguments over 2v4 strokes. They are both awesome.

Dirtbikes that aren't maintained that end up lining up next to me on the start line. "Yo brah, I got no front brake so I might push you wide." Great.

And most importantly...
DD's clothing not having a wardrobe malfunction.
