Litigation has made going to nationals a pain. Do you remember packing the cooler, leaning over the snow fence rooting on the riders, assholes throwing things at riders they hate, race winners kissing trophy girls, racers actually riding the track we rode?

Yeah, I’ll be riding then watching it online a couple days later after I hear the results.

i'd blame whatever you think the reason people not attending races on technology. It's happening in every sport, the viewing is better on TV. Most tracks you can't see the whole thing and they are spread out so even if you can see most of the track it's hard to tell whats happening.

are people not attending races? seems like i see alot of people in attendance on TV..
I agree! That’s why my initial post called for a streaming black out in a 250 mile radius....

It is way too easy to just stay home.

Lost me at cordoroys

And you cant bring in beer anymore since like 2005 or some shit... Blame the promoters... This millinieal (88) has worked in construction, done the trades, been at races in 110+ degree heat (elsinore mx & glen helen) and has decided fuck that shit.. I'm going to go drive my RC car, smoke 2 joints in the morning, smoke 2 joints in the afternoon then imma smoke 2 more and then do some PC gaming and call it a day. I'll see the nationals from my A/C home on youtube without the sunburn and traffic

That’s what I’m talking about!!!!

Pretty sure those that know me, know I’m a cool guy. Not an old grumpy man.

Those that are calling me out in this thread, don’t know me or what i have done or anything, but that’s all good!

Well... smoking 6 joints a day, playing with an RC car and then doing some PC gaming before calling it a day and then watching the races on YouTube (without paying) strikes me of a guy that still lives at home with his parents as an adult in their basement. You know, kind of like Will Farrell in Wedding Crashes, or maybe Step Brothers?

We don't have basements in California. We have room additions built on the patio slab.

Back in the day we used to have the fastest racers. Now we can’t even win on our home tracks.

Touche, well the song lyrics and hyperbole didnt come through to well.

But i will say, playing with a RC car and gaming on the weekends. And free youtube motos on a smart TV are the wave of the future.. (mind you i dont have kids, nor do i smoke 6 joints in a day like sublime)

Actually... you got me. When I initially read it, I did sing it in the sublime voice in my head. I just thought it was coincidence.

It’s true - MX/SX fans are spoiled now and a lot have turned into a bunch of Snowflakes. How many of you snowflakes actually ride?

“I paid $75 dollars, I want my live races without commercials, wait, the downtime is killing me, we need entertainment”

“My internet is buffering” - waaaahhhhhh

“The traffic is going to kill me to go to Pala”

You know why MX tracks used to be packed and the hillsides had fans? Because people were tougher, like Hannah tough. They threw on some corduroy shorts, didn’t even pack a shirt... filled the cooler with Banquet Beer and got to the track to pick a spot when the damn sun was just coming up.

The one weekend a year the pros came through they were at the track to watch their heroes. They bonded with fellow fans, sometimes fist fought for a good place at the fence. I haven’t even seen a good fist fight at the track in years.

Couple things -

local tracks should close for Saturday... support the sport. Open Sunday.

Internet streaming black-out in a 250 mile radius.

Yeah, yeah.... bunch of snowflakes going to tell me I’m stupid, Get outside, stand by the fence, get roosted, throw a Shaka and cheer the riders on. Get fired up to ride.

Anyone throwing me a thumbs down, should be deported.
Complaining about other people complaining. Yep

Man... how does one point out the complainers and snowflakes without being called one? I mean, I feel as though I don’t complain, that’s the point of calling out the complainers. It’s happened a few times in this thread, so I’m seriously wondering how you go about it without being perceived as one. I thought I did a pretty good job of being funny, taking a few jabs and being light hearted about it.

I guess that’s the risk you take when posting, people read it how THEY WANT TO and not necessarily how you are trying to convey. I’ll work on future deliveries of my message

I truly am not complaining, doesn’t affect me one way or the other. Just an observation.

Some of the best eras were great because they had iconic champions. Who’s really going to pay to see Eli Tomac race? He’s like the milk toast of champions. And I say that not as a put down but an observation. Great eras had great champions. Not these ho hum riders who complain about settings and can’t thank their sponsors enough.

KRoc was on his way to being the next great champion before injuries killed that. Then we got the ho hum Eli Tomac. Finally we have a little piss and vinegar with Webb. This has helped generate a little more interest.

We are just kind of in this strange place with no truly great champions. I mean we got straight up smoked in our back yard last year at MXDN. And one of the excuses was they added some sand and water. I mean come on. Those kinds of excuses just kill the perception you are watching the best in the world. Because people don’t want to pay top dollar to see second tier talent. And currently that’s what we have. And that’s not worth the high prices and the long waits in line.

Just my opinion.

Ok, enough from me guys, I just smoked my last joint. Mom brought my dinner to my room. Going to grab a bite before jumping on Fortnite with some homies.

Check you bro’s on the flip side.

Anybody with some free links to the race Saturday, hit me up on Grindr. Peace out.

(This is obviously all a lie - except the Grindr part)

Andy.....you are , and always will be on of the best dudes here , and that's why I have a ton of respect for you and love the hell out of you!

That being said , maybe you read what I said this morning? About how I would rather go riding , then sit for 3hrs in traffic.

" If " I lived down there and had a way to get into Pala super early , and leave later in the evening , I would for sure attend. I do that exact thing every year for Washougal. But if I couldn't?........I would rather load up and go ride , and watch the race later that night.

And if I chose to do it that way.....I would still be supporting my sport , just in s different way I guess. I love going to Washougal every year , and try not to ever miss one. I've been going since 1981 and have only missed a hand full.

But with Pala , and the traffic nightmares I've heard about , AND with GH doing what they are doing , it made me reply to the fact that I'd rather go hit a cool practice day , then have to sit in traffic.

Btw....... awesome to hear you are feeling better! I sent you a PM quite a while ago after I heard you got hurt. I didn't hear back , but I wasn't expecting anything , knowing what you were going through.

Ok, one last post, even though I said I was out. Nothing wrong with loading up and going riding and not going to the National. It’s only wishful thinking that everyone that doesn’t ride goes to the race. That’s not reality.

I would never call you a snowflake. I know you don’t fit that mold. You bleed MX. I know that.

To me, it’s very clear what Glen Helen is doing. It’s an amazing deal they put together, but it is SO obvious they are doing out of spite, covering it up with a charitable feel. However, if people go to Glen Helen, so be it! People want to ride and aren’t obligated to be at Pala. Hanging with buddies, watching the national at a track is way cool. I won’t blame any rider for going to do that. However, the powers that be at GH know exactly what they are doing. They are trying to take away potential spectators. Let’s call a spade a spade.

Thank you for reaching out when I got injured. I’m sorry I didn’t get back to you. My bad. I can assure you it wasn’t missed or not responded to on purpose.

Rock on Jeffro....

I've been reading vital for many years, read many of your posts. I know your 100% all in when it comes to Moto, but I don't think I know the back story, are you the dude who got hired as a kid to work in a movie, then got offered a job including being in the actors guild? It was a long time ago, but if that is you, would you please tell the story again? And who are you? I'm pretty sure your not actually Regis, although that'd blow my mind, but only if it's safe or whatever. And whatever you do, I'm with ya, except I don't think it's all that complicated to figure out, the reason our sport is lacking is three fold. #1 video games, by far and away the number one reason kids are no longer outside. Not only missing Moto, but playing other sports or even just hanging out with friends. #2 parents, too many parents are convinced that sports, especially something like Moto, is an automatic sentence to some type of crippling injury. Sorry, but I'd rather live with a little risk, and I know my boys feel the same- #3 no more bikes like the xr,xl,xt,kdx, that are affordable and yet still had some fun factor. Let Honda make xr's from 80-250 cc and price them under 3k and you'd sell them in no time IMO- anyway, hope you have a great weekend Regis, I may not know you personally, but I know we share the same views. In my book that makes you a genius Woohoo

My name is Regis Andrew Harrington III

I went by Andy Harrington as a racer, mainly because as a kid I didn’t like the name Regis. It was different. I liked Andy

I raced from the time I was 8. I rode for Team Green as an amateur. Until I was 17. I then turned pro and rode for Motorworld Of El Cajon in 97-98-99. In 2000 I rode for factory KTM. I was never great at racing, like I said previously I had great moments. But was a mid pack dude. I got 7th in a 125cc west coast race. That was my best SX finish.

At the end of 2000, after I lost my KTM ride due to sucking, I went to be an extra on the Disney movie “motocrossed”. I ended up getting hired to stunt double the lead ACTRESS and some of the actor. I was a smaller guy. I got into the screen actors guild. Did a few stunts on that movie.

I raced Yamahas in 2001, did ok, made some mains and got 11th at San Diego. At Salt Lake City that year was my last pro race . I broke my leg super bad.

I was a normal dude for the next 9 years. Worked at an Auto Body shop, was head judge of X games and Red Bull X fighters. Did some stunt jobs here and there but was kinda scared of getting hurt. In my short mx “career” (not really a career) I had lots of surgeries.

In 2010 I decided I wanted to be a full time stuntman. I went all in. Since then I have been in over 100 movies and television shows. I have been very fortunate.

Most recent film coming out I worked on, John Wick 3. Did an amazing crash and chase. Go see it!

That’s who I am in the cliff notes version.

i'd blame whatever you think the reason people not attending races on technology. It's happening in every sport, the viewing is better on TV. Most tracks you can't see the whole thing and they are spread out so even if you can see most of the track it's hard to tell whats happening.

are people not attending races? seems like i see alot of people in attendance on TV..

It is way too easy to just stay home.
that wont work, the majority of people will just do something else.

Thank you! I’m just a lucky guy, worked hard and am very fortunate.

Here, I’m just a fan. A washed up never was that doesn’t claim to know more than the next guy. I just call it like I see it.

Those that are calling me out in this thread, don’t know me or what i have done or anything, but that’s all good!

I've been reading vital for many years, read many of your posts. I know your 100% all in when it comes to Moto, but I don't think I know the back story, are you the dude who got hired as a kid to work in a movie, then got offered a job including being in the actors guild? It was a long time ago, but if that is you, would you please tell the story again? And who are you? I'm pretty sure your not actually Regis, although that'd blow my mind, but only if it's safe or whatever. And whatever you do, I'm with ya, except I don't think it's all that complicated to figure out, the reason our sport is lacking is three fold. #1 video games, by far and away the number one reason kids are no longer outside. Not only missing Moto, but playing other sports or even just hanging out with friends. #2 parents, too many parents are convinced that sports, especially something like Moto, is an automatic sentence to some type of crippling injury. Sorry, but I'd rather live with a little risk, and I know my boys feel the same- #3 no more bikes like the xr,xl,xt,kdx, that are affordable and yet still had some fun factor. Let Honda make xr's from 80-250 cc and price them under 3k and you'd sell them in no time IMO- anyway, hope you have a great weekend Regis, I may not know you personally, but I know we share the same views. In my book that makes you a genius Woohoo

My name is Regis Andrew Harrington III

I went by Andy Harrington as a racer, mainly because as a kid I didn’t like the name Regis. It was different. I liked Andy

I raced from the time I was 8. I rode for Team Green as an amateur. Until I was 17. I then turned pro and rode for Motorworld Of El Cajon in 97-98-99. In 2000 I rode for factory KTM. I was never great at racing, like I said previously I had great moments. But was a mid pack dude. I got 7th in a 125cc west coast race. That was my best SX finish.

At the end of 2000, after I lost my KTM ride due to sucking, I went to be an extra on the Disney movie “motocrossed”. I ended up getting hired to stunt double the lead ACTRESS and some of the actor. I was a smaller guy. I got into the screen actors guild. Did a few stunts on that movie.

I raced Yamahas in 2001, did ok, made some mains and got 11th at San Diego. At Salt Lake City that year was my last pro race . I broke my leg super bad.

I was a normal dude for the next 9 years. Worked at an Auto Body shop, was head judge of X games and Red Bull X fighters. Did some stunt jobs here and there but was kinda scared of getting hurt. In my short mx “career” (not really a career) I had lots of surgeries.

In 2010 I decided I wanted to be a full time stuntman. I went all in. Since then I have been in over 100 movies and television shows. I have been very fortunate.

Most recent film coming out I worked on, John Wick 3. Did an amazing crash and chase. Go see it!

I've been going to InterAms, Nationals, Trans Ams etc since the early 70s. Like you said I looked forward to the pros every year. But then came all the promoters rules and greed, selling the best viewing as VIP spots, giving other prime viewing as industry spots which blocked viewing for the mainstream fan. The whole experience got switched to a dollar grabbing vibe. I quit going about 4 years ago and found it is more enjoyable, and less stressful than dealing with the live experience sadly.Dry

It's rad to hear so many good stories. For me I just wish it was cheaper to buy a decent bike and more incentive for the young to ride. With how expensive it has got and with the areas left to ride it's hard to wonder why we are seeing a demise. If Bob Hannah had to wait 3 hours to go 45 miles in so cal I bet it wouldn't be the same. I don't want to nag or glorify the past. How can we make it's exciting and very approachable. A lot of our icons come from poor backgrounds and limited areas. What can we do to make it happen again curious?
