We went to MTF for a one day military appreciation ride. FREE. Which is next door. Found out you could pay $35 per day at GPF so we went there for a day.

I'm a public servant, military retiree, my son trains in the backyard on a little track I built with a blade on the front of a wheeler.

Want to come over?

What were your lap times, ass hat?

Why don't you talk some shit about the rest of the guys who didn't make the night show?

Haven't heard anything about him being in anyone's way during practice. I did hear he was hucking all the triples, tho.

Being on a two stroke get him a lot of attention on this forum? How many posts about the rest of the guys that didn't qualify?

Some day someone with the resources will put something together and use two stroke attention to their favor, even better than Stank Dog's thing he had going outdoors. It's a TON of exposure for not a lot of investment.
Just to give my 2 cents as I was on the track with him, someone who is 20 seconds slower than someone on a supercross track...
Just to give my 2 cents as I was on the track with him, someone who is 20 seconds slower than someone on a supercross track with a 1 minute lap time is a huge danger. It doesn't matter if he is in the C practice with a lot of the people in the practice not making the night program. He was 15 seconds off of almost everyone in the practice and 23 seconds off of the leaders in the practice. That kind of pace is something that does get in your way no matter what, and he did not do both triples that I'm aware of because on one of my fast laps I came up behind him and he looked like he was going for the triple by home base and just locks up the brakes in the middle of the take off and doubles it ruining my fast lap. I heard him doing the same thing for multiple other riders.

This coming from a rider that I had to vouch for at GPF because they where going to kick you off of their supercross track because it was pros only and, I quote "we were gonna tell him to get off the track because he doesn't look like he could beat the C class"

If your little 125 lb scrawny ass with mommy's money is so much faster that Ronnie, then should have no problem blowing right past him. And this shit of "I was on the track with him" is horsecrap also, you race against him locally and you know who his is very well. In fact he beats you half the time in MX.

The big question is why are YOU allowed on the track, there are half dozen local B riders that can beat YOU!

Lets talk dangerous, how bout showing up to an MXGP race in CA because mommy and daddy finance your life, paying the entry fee, and then no even triple the spectator section in front of the grand stand when my 14 yr old 85 rider was wanting to hit is, hell Geyser and Grant where quading the damn thing and you wouldnt even triple it. You got lapped 4 times in that race. THATS DANGEROUS!!!!

You get on a world forum and talk shit about a local rider, that you know, who has been riding longer than you've been alive, twice your age and can beat you outdoors. When everyone around hear knows you are the biggest whiney bitch that's ever stepped foot on a bike. Also, I'm copying your posts and transferring them to Face book and all our local series pages and I'm going to encourage every local rider to get on this page and let everyone know how SLOW YOU are.

I didn't see your SLOW ASS in the night show either!!!!!!!
Well, Mark came a hell of a lot closer by qualifying 46th out of 56th and was 18 seconds a lap faster than Mr. Ford. Mark didn't really get aggressive in his post but you on the other hand just went full-bore.

No offense to Ford but sitting in shooting from industry seating, everyone around me was commenting about him being in the way and I watched him make quite a few guys check up all over the track. He may have busted out the main triple but it was a bit scary every lap...

Ford was 21 seconds slower per lap than the 40th qualifier, 27 seconds slower per lap than the top qualifier. Mark was 9 second off the top qualifier and 2.1 seconds off the 40th qualifier.

Notice of I typed average lap. Nothing like sitting on the sidelines and bashing someone that's ride....thats old enough to be your dad Michael. Let alone on a 3 yr old bike that the AMA has rigged every rule against.

Get on a bike and try it, or you can keep wondering why everyone was rallying behind a 40 yr old 2 stroke rider and not showing any attention to a certain woman rider gifted into a night show who cant beat top 5 ar a local B race

Who's choice was it to ride a 3 yr old bike that the rules are rigged against? You just took it 10 levels above anybody "talking crap" (they weren't talking shit, you're just biased).

Really, no friends with Ronnie, just see him putting in the work every weekend. Then watched a slow ass brat bash him, one that Ronnie beats in outdoor, and had to set the record straight.

Funny, my Facebook is blowing up with riders that know him, ripping Mark a new ass, and the keyboard experts are ripping on me. They must not like me exposing the keyboard Roczens and Dungeys

LOL why would I ever do that? Do i think Mark needs to try harder? Absolutely, I have spent days at the track with him telling him so. Just like I try and help bubba any situation i possibly can. It's one thing to live out a dream which is precisely the issue you appear to have with mark. Yet you defend Ronnie. Sometimes a dream and a reality are vastly different. In this instance, they appear to be just that. Your fighting a uphill battle and look like a ignorant asshat for spewing your mouth without all of the facts. Don't let your hatred for one get in the way of whats truly happening.

You keep saying outdoors.... that has shit to do with supercross, which is what they are racing right now. Mark was significantly faster in supercross, what they were racing, than Ronnie was. Try and keep it comparable. In supercross, he was the faster man. Plain and simple. Outdoors means nothing in this. And now you are getting your rocks off bashing the piss out of this kid and bringing all of your friends in on it. Class act. Real adult like.

Want to come over?

I understand, you pay for your son's bikes, parts, travel costs, entry fees, and even his private practice track. Just like Mark's parents do for their son. Look, I don't know either of these guys but what Mark posted was pretty benign and you took things very personal.

Didn't the dirt put a 2stroke at more of a disadvantage as well?
I think he'll do a little better at round 2.

Am I the only one that sees a resemblance here?? No wonder he's a badass!

Jokes aside I have raced him a couple of times in the Vet classes locally and he did smoke my ass, but I think remember crashing his brains out too once. I do agree that those laptimes kinda put him on the highway to the dangerzone as far as supercross track goes, but I don't know the whole story, maybe he has way more potential than that. And whatever, it's none of my business really, good for him for living the dream.

Please refrain from posting any more comments in my thread. You're going to get it sent to the Dumbgeon.

For the record~ He is allowed to be on the track because of the rules. If you're going to hate on someone it should be on the people who write the rules.


On a side note about people being on the track with riders who are faster then them.

My 1st race ever was in a CALVMX race at Glen Helen. Chuck Sun and Scott Burnworth were lined up in the same gate as me although they were in a different class. This was back when they had that huge tabletop right after the 1st turn.

So the gate drops and I find myself battling for the holeshot and I'm thinking to my self "well this isn't so hard". I hit that tabletop 4th gear pinned on my 85 yz250 and came up a little short with my rear wheel hitting the lip of the landing kicking it up in the air. I landed on the front wheel with my feet off the pegs doing a nose wheelie. I don't know how I didn't crash. Needless to say my tires never left the ground the rest of the race. Best part of the whole day was when Chuck Sun put me over a berm as he was lapping me for the second time.

The story is his age and the two stroke. Put him on a 450 and now the story is just his age.

Seriously, where are the threads about the rest of the 21+ place qualifiers? Riding a two stroke gets uber attention. Isn't that what it's about half the time?

Funny shit man! I'm not a little kid and I work hard for my bike. Just as hard as Ronnie, if not harder. I give up a lot to ride. Jeez, real wonder why people are jumping your shit here. You and all your social media buddies know these guys. They are all biased. I think it's great that he wanted to race SX at 43 and went out there. It doesn't affect me at all, but these other guys have good points and you're acting crazy.

Average lap doesn't mean much in timed qualifying as some dudes literally take two minutes to get around the track because they roll and look at so many sections, or attempt to stay out of the way of other guys laying down a heater.

I tried SX for a year, it's hard no doubt and I ended up on my head quite a few times. That's why I'm doing this gig instead now, ha!

Notice in my comparison of Golden and Ford I didn't bring up her one night show, because yes, it was somewhat of a gift. I brought up the rounds she didn't qualify and how much closer she was. When she tried at Atlanta last year (first east round) she was 10 seconds off the top qualifier and 3.5 seconds off the 40th qualifier...she actually beat five or six riders overall. And as I stated in that comparison itself, it wasn't a shot at Ford but a comment about how people view him vs her on support vs bagging on. On here it might be supportive but in the stands where I was, there were head shakes and comments from other riders about being happy they weren't in that practice.

All-in-all I simply agree with those questioning safety in this. Is it cool the guy is 40 and trying to qualify on a two-stroke? Hell yeah! Is it cool that he's rolling around and a higher safety concern than anyone else on the track? No, not at all. The grandfathered clause for this makes me scratch my head. As the current AMA rules only allow you to continue SX racing if you've made a night show within the last two seasons or otherwise you're back to Arenacross. Local AMA races, Amateur nationals or Pro nationals have nothing to due with keeping your SX eligibility under the current rules. One such friend of mine, Ryan Surratt, was actually in danger of losing his SX eligibility as he qualified through Arenacross two years ago but stayed amateur. If something happened and he didn't make a night show this year, he would have to go back to Arenacross. That goes for anyone in the newer generation, if you miss two seasons of SX night shows, you have to re-earn your way back in. Unless you're coming from outside of the US and have scored points in a MXGP with a FIM based license (not AMA based license).

This is a serious question, did this guy recently do Arenacross to get his pro Supercross license or what year did he last do a Supercross? I can't find his name listed in the results Vault, so I can't find out when he last tried a Supercross.

He made the night show in St, Louis '96. Taken from a post earlier in this thread.

Motox85 may have gone a bit overboard, but Mark would have been better off not saying a thing. I am betting it pained Ronnie to be so far off the pace, and it's not like he has been out there for 2 months ruining guys qualifying attempts. Typically racers refrain from dumping on other racers on social media, I think because we all have our 'Oh shit!' moments. I can see how the comments struck a nerve. Now we have a classic "Get over it, or die with it moment". If people still want to be wound up, I will happily eat my popcorn and watch a shit show unfold. Also, I wish this forum had spell check.

It does have spell check. Sort of. Misspelled words are underlined in red letting you know you spelled it wrong. You're still on your own to figure out how to spell it right.

What were your lap times, ass hat?

Why don't you talk some shit about the rest of the guys who didn't make the night show?

Haven't heard anything about him being in anyone's way during practice. I did hear he was hucking all the triples, tho.

Being on a two stroke get him a lot of attention on this forum? How many posts about the rest of the guys that didn't qualify?

Some day someone with the resources will put something together and use two stroke attention to their favor, even better than Stank Dog's thing he had going outdoors. It's a TON of exposure for not a lot of investment.
Just to give my 2 cents as I was on the track with him, someone who is 20 seconds slower than someone on a supercross track...
Just to give my 2 cents as I was on the track with him, someone who is 20 seconds slower than someone on a supercross track with a 1 minute lap time is a huge danger. It doesn't matter if he is in the C practice with a lot of the people in the practice not making the night program. He was 15 seconds off of almost everyone in the practice and 23 seconds off of the leaders in the practice. That kind of pace is something that does get in your way no matter what, and he did not do both triples that I'm aware of because on one of my fast laps I came up behind him and he looked like he was going for the triple by home base and just locks up the brakes in the middle of the take off and doubles it ruining my fast lap. I heard him doing the same thing for multiple other riders.

Lord have mercy you're worse now than you were 6 years ago on district18.info.

Give it a rest. You're all trying hard but it's a pipe dream. You're about 05% as cool as you think you are and 90% as insulting as everyone else thinks you are.

Go have Mom make some dinner and go to bed. Don't you have school tomorrow ?

He he he.

Just fueling the fire. ;-)
