I did have an issue with a kid and his dad last year. Kid dropped in behind me and put a real aggressive pass on me. I wicked it up and drove it back in on him a few corners later. Needless to say his father visited my pit asking what the pass I put on his kid was all about
Nice post! I can't tell you how many times myself and others at the track talk about this same issue! We have even left a track early or not returned to a track because of this type of riding. Mostly because we have a VET class or 35+ practice class yet the tracks around here allow kids to ride in that same class? It makes no sense to have a vet class and let kids in it!
To your point, this is not just about trainers though. It is about the sport, parents, coaches, and tracks! Tracks need to be more pro active in this sport. They should have rules, instructions, or help the new riders learn how to hold their line and how to ride safely. I always thought it is odd we have 100 new videos posted everyday about motocross yet no one in the sport makes a safety video, flagging video, or rider safety video.

I scored a goal once in soccer from the 50 yard line - all air, just under the top of the goal
^^^^ true stories bro
Only way these kids (or parents) will change is when they wake up the next am w/ a black eye or two
- some will never get it until then
Respect / maturity needs to be learned sometimes the hard way
"What a drag it is getting old / Kids are different today" - mick jagger
Or the more relatable quote Like - LLoyd Christmas's famous words "You know, the elderly, although slow, and dangerous behind the wheel, can still serve a purpose. Don’t you go dying on me now."
the old in mx, all slow and dangerous n shit on modren mx tracks should hold their lines and do corners faster and In turn stay safer.
seen so many broken ankles on old poor pylons thinking they had some kind of right to be on the track and worse! taking the corners too slow! like traffic laws apply or something? where as the young love old mid-corner pylons - because they are fun to bounce off , I get it
Just so happened that, that pylon, was my buddy jay last week , luckily the little 17 year old fucker hit & broke jays left ankle mid corner, so he could still drive his truck home, but he still can't work, So not that lucky I guess? ... but the 17 year old phenomenon that broke his ankle was sorry btw (really sincerely sorry)
but in his defence, in this one aspect, he was just riding at track speed aka landing in the corners aka modren riding - halfway exiting the corner the next jump has already started!
It's big disconnect between how it plays out on the track between the modren young and modren old riders! The old rider treats the jump exiting the corner as a roller! not a jump! so the corners are dangerous places for the elderly geriatric riders to be!
And a good lesson is ; if you are slow (& old) on an mx track? you better have amazing track awareness or get the fuck off - if you get injured it's no ones fault but your own - if you see the 17 year old coming around again who whipped it within 6 inches of your head last lap? hold your line or pull off - you are too old - sports passed you by - feel free to pull back on in safe manner when safe to do so and you will 100% get respect for being a former fast dude! They key is to know your place! Know your limit , stay with in it!
