One company pays me, Racer X. I own the company. I help out at MX Sports. How is that a conflict of interest?

Actually, good luck with all of this, I am going to get back to the real world.

Ok tubby let's not poke fun I might loose a finger.

No one complains about the sport as much as you Matthes. What are the solutions? #WhatWouldMatthesDo?
Apparently today is election day. I just voted that you're done posting.

There's enough wrong with your assertions that your post ended up here. Then you start in on personal attacks.

That's not how it works.

But don't let any of those facts confuse your unique #reality

What is the difference if you say you dont do bike tests in the Racer X magazine but you do bike tests on the Racer X web site ? Not that it makes any difference because nothing wrong with doing bike tests but this kind of looks like a splitting hairs because Racer X mag and Racer X website are one and the same in my eyes and it looks like you are just trying to mislead with the statement. I think you should do bike tests .

lostboy819, there's enough great editors and writers out there doing deep-dive bike tests. We do riding impressions and the occasional test online, but our magazine has always been about the lifestyle and personalities and events that surround the races, not the bikes.

So it's ok to be passive aggressive with personal attacks ? But if you're direct, you get the boot ? Or was matthes statement not an attack ? I'd take it as one. Please tell me how this works.

Conflict of interest, very unprofessional.
I've seen DC picking up trash and emptying garbage cans before. At least he and I have one thing in common. I would not consider anything DC does a conflict of interest.

What did Chad Reed or Grant Langston have in their names when they were all up in the hype of a riders union? I'm betting you weren't spouting insults their direction. Could be mistaken, correct me if I'm wrong.

They also had the sense to realize that they don't have the time and effort to put into it.
