Is there a 125 race at each National? If there is, the mgmt is killing it for lack of coverage.
I posted a photo within ten minutes of the end of the race on our Instagram page...

But remember, there's some conspiracy to keep you in the dark.

So apparently everyone at Thunder Valley was "too busy" again this weekend to score the "dream" race?

Nice shot. Kind of looks like one of his old rodeo maneuvers.

Durham looked like he was well on his way to leading and checking out in the first lap. Not sure if he wadded or broke down

Wtf is up with DD these days ? Get on a 450 and he could run top 10. This guy has style for miles yet continues to do the same shit over and over.
By same shit do you mean just being one of the coolest guys riding a bike and probably having more fun along the way? He is just being DD, I guess we all walk a different path.

I'm sure you're more than welcome to do it if it matters so much to you. Hell I'd almost bet they'd even provide a pen and paper for your entitled ass.

Thrown in airfare, rental car and hotel and you have a deal.

I'm all in for round 4.

Cool. Then you can be responsible for not recognizing riders outside the maybe the top one or two.

To be perfectly honest, at Hangtown I recognized maybe a dozen guys. At Glen Helen, it was maybe the top five. At Lakewood I recognized Wil Hahn, and that was about it.

They're 125 races, but they're not the Dream Race.

With yesterday's schedule running an hour earlier than usual, it was even more of a scramble.

Maybe if you complain some more somebody will step up and provide those things for no reason whatsoever.

Not sure what the mystery is with these 2T racing but if Gibby has a reason not to post pics/videos on the sight...I'll live with that...for a while. I don't count instagram as the "site". I'm guessing the decision was above Gibbys paygrade. I've got someone that was at Lakewood to update me on Monday.

It can't be that tough to "recognize" the riders?

Here are the results from the qualification race Friday. There were only 28 of us. They didn’t make Wil qualify he just showed up on Saturday to race. The qualification race was supposed to be for gate pick but they just slammed us through staging and the order we went through the tunnel was pretty much our gate pick. Good for some not so much for others. All in all it was still one hell of a time. Slightly chaotic with lack of direction though as it was ran by the promoter, it will be handled by mxsports from here on out from what I was told.

Top 5 on Saturday
1. Wil Hahn
2. Chandler baker
3. Matt Burris
4. Chase stevenson
5. Bryce shondeck



They also gave out the most badass trophies

One thing I can easily recognize is that you’re trying to be a PITA. You’re also succeeding. ?
That's not my intention at all. It never has been.

I was just trying to point out some glaring inconsistencies in this 125 race series and was attacked by moderators, journalists, industry "cool guys" and four stroke fanboys alike.

So when they post condescending bullshit while attempting to discredit my post I defend myself accordingly.

Nothing more, nothing less.

If Ryan Dungey would have raced it when he was 15, some people may not have recognized his name at that time.
I for one would like to see the 45 out there. Just for fun.

it's to bad that the people who cover the sport won't work all day with no break just to see and report on an exhibition race that they can make exactly zero dollars on.

End of story, 3 people give a shit and they are not there to report on it.

I'm clueless. For whatever reason there is a blackout on these "races...exhibitions....whatever". Like I said, I don't know what's going on but if Gibby has a reason it's probably legit. He has never been a dickhead that I know of.

There may be more interested in this than you think. Possibly some advertising opportunities as well.
Not just us old farts either.

What a joke. The industry is too cool to pay attention to the up and comers in a series that they promoted. Old guys like the 125 class. Kids like the 125 class. People who like motocross like the 125 class. Want to have a negative view about the 125 class you can apply that to the sport as a whole

I love the idea of it. But I generally try and get the coverage done for the National first, then add 125 coverage to Pit Bits each week.
