has this to say about the future of Moto XXX (from a couple days ago on motochat.com)

"Hey, can someone who has an account on Motonews please post this note over there. Im pissed off that some bullshit little piece of news got wrote up by Steve who use to WORK for us. Its a joke.

Hi this is Jordan from Moto XXX and i just want to say that paragraph that was written about our team on Racerhead, should never have been posted. We have some things going on that may or may not work out but, that was pretty much BS how it was said in there and it got me pissed off. I'll say no more right now other then, please disregard what was said on racerhead today. We will make a proper press release/news piece about what is or isnt happening in 2009 when WE...yes WE THE PEOPLE THAT STARTED THE F'ing COMPANY/TEAM...feel like doing so.

~Jordan Burns~

Oh, and im sure Steve meant no harm but, i just wish he would have asked or looked further into things before putting that in there. I've already wrote an email to Racer X about this..."

I don't know much, (duh!) but I just heard (Alan) "Brown Performance" mentioned as a new player in motor building.

Maybe suspension too.

I personally like Strung Out. I also think its cool they formed a team to participate in their other passion. I wish the best for them and hope they continue to be successful.

I don't think cox ever worked for XXX.

I tried to find the bit in racerhead about it, but they've obviously edited it out already.

you know how they dont rule? because you said fuggin and we all passed the 6th grade Laughing that being said, he is almost waaayy cool because he hired our local boy Mitch, buuutt, I heard there was some strings attached.

But XXX is super awesome just because, I sincerely hope Hooters drops Daly or whoever that golf dude is and gives JB some extra wings

I have met Jordan both while my friend was working as a guitar tech for Strung out and at the race track. Jordan is really into motocross, most of the time backstage that is what we would talk about.

It's good to hear that MotoXXX is not totally dead.

Would love to see them out there again. When they get some good riders on board, this team really punches above their weight.

this is another quote i found from Jordan @ XXX...on motochat.com

"With last years team with Hooters, we should of had stripper poles at the rig settin shoot off but, the team dwindled into a quiet little nothing in a big truck. Just another truck in the pits...thats it."

he went on to say that a press release is still coming and things will be different for 09..."News to come on your thoughts....good news!!!!!! ..."

Didn't it dwindle into nothing because there was no money ?

i really dont know details as far as who is "running" things but i do know that the office was moved out of santa barbara and that had something to do with the whole thing...something like new people in the office side of it kind of had a trickle down effect to the race team managment and what not

Mathes use to wrench for XXX I believe.

I was disappointed with their representation last year (Hooters) - the XXX brand was (seemingly) swept under the carpet, which I believe is what Burns is referring to.

Hopefully they'll be back to their typical great presence for '09. Good luck to them.

I think what's getting over looked here is how good Alan Brown actually is with that CRF450.

That MotoXXX bike was a Major non-Factory Contender for several years with many different riders.

That is no fluke.

agian this from jordan...

"Can someone post this on motonews in reply to Steve's comments on there....thanks


Steve, yes we did speak..this is true but, once again im gonna stand behind what im saying and its not your company is it? You worked for us, we gave you a job. I understand that your a journalist now so, you want to report on the things you think people want to hear but, i'll go ahead and feel free to speak on the behalf on my company. The main thing that has got me pissed off once again is, whatever the case may be with what you or anyone else thinks is going on with our team, our company's been around for the past 16 years and its pretty insulting to think that were just gonna go out in a small little paragraph on a MX website which basically claimed Moto XXX "as we know it" to be dead? 1997-2008..wrong. Understand? No one from our company made any official news and im taking a stand on it. Did i work with the day to day running of things with Moto XXX? Nope, i deal with my band. Is it anyones business? Nope, it sure the F isnt. In 16 years, i've never felt compelled to get on a message board to make comments but, i guess it came time. Its fine for you to take your stand on what you think of course. Same for anyone else on here but, like i said...its 16 years that Moto XXX has been around are were not done. Also, for you to just shoot down Daniel Blair isnt so cool but, thats life, you got people that shoot ya down, and people that are pumped for you and i can only hope he proves you or any other doubters wrong. Are we gonna win? Nope, but only the top big money guys even have a chance. We are the little guy but, we know how to make waves. Were pumped to be helping out Daniel Blair this year as we are both true privateers. I'll say no more at the moment except that i love Moto XXX and what we've done and accomplished. No one can ever take that away...ever.

~Jordan~"


i dont know mathes' handle and im not on motonews but maybe someone could help us out...
