With the budget they're on, stuff doesn't get swapped out as often as they'd like.

How about asking how we can help support the guy? I think a lot of us 2 stroke fans would donate a little to his outdoor program. But how and where can we help him out?

I realize no one has over spilling budgets these days but how hard would it be fore Husky to float the guys team a few thousand in parts to help the journey. They'd look like heroes for helping the little guy and support one who's supporting their awesome 125 machine.

Not that I know of. Apparently it locked up going over the table before the leap, but it refired when he landed...but it was sort of done at that point.

I’ll ask next week. They’re already packed up and out of here by the time I got back to the trailer. They were parked across from me.

Well that's good, maybe it's good he didn't make it at Muddy Creek. Mighta let go over the big triple.

What's up guys, well this weekend didn't go as planned. In qualifying we didn't get a clean fast lap to make that top 36 so it was on to the LCQ. Fortunately against all those $10,000 fart machines Stankdog did get a top 10 start and lap 2 was in 4th passing for 3rd when the motor got tight over the table before the leap. Unfortunately 2 corners later the stator side bearing on the crank shit the bed and locked the motor! Since we are on a very very small budget (stankdog's wallet) we can't afford to replace parts when we would like. That being said after the lcq i tore the motor down and found the ceased bearing. We talked to acouple friends at Husqvarna and said to call them monday about a new crank and bearings. On to the Amateur night races we go, Stankdog and myself raced last night with stank winning the 250 A and me getting a 3rd in 30 plus. This morning as im getting the practice bike ready for todays pro-am race, I noticed that we have a transmission problem. Counter shaft will spin a rotation and stop! Thinking we have a broken tooth in the gears, with all this being said we are on the way to the East coast to a friends that way i can tear down our 2nd bike and see if we can atleast get one ready for the wick!! We appreciate all the support from the fans and are not the type to be so quick to start a gofundme acct. but if anyone wants to help Team Stankdog can donate to his paypal acct.

if everyone reading this gifts the kid a dollar on PayPal. It would help.

Thank you for providing a PayPal email for Stankdog. I sent $50.
Let's help this kid out.
Even if it's only $1 every bit will add up.
If Husky won't help the only 2 stroke then as fans we should help.

I will throw in a few Kiwi dollars!!

Stank dog and Eric, you boys are living my dream!!!

Every time the results are out I go straight to the 250s to see where 726 placed!!

I just say hats off to you guys for having fun and racing moto, traveling around the country in a bad ass van.

At the end off the day that's where we all started. Traveling around with good mates racing dirt bikes. Some people forget that.

Be awesome to get you over to NZ one day to rip up our epic soil!

I can only afford 15 Aussie dollars, hope it helps.
Wouldn't it be nice if a thousand fans could donate $10 each so he had enough to buy a spare bike? We could use that to maybe shame Husqvarna into giving him some meaningful help perhaps.
Go Stankdog!

Bet it be would cooler to brag about a top 20 finish at a national then how much cheaper your 2 stroke is to rebuild than a 4 stroke?
