Especially the part about wearing small boots......Janet's son in Florida unfortunately proof just how jacked up you can get riding on of those.


To me seeing adults on mini bikes is about as interesting as seeing an 8 year old on a 450....but that's just me.

It's not so much about seeing as doing.

My thoughts as well.

Anyone who does not like watching...well...don't buy a ticket.

I went 2 years ago and enjoyed it. But many said it was a little boring. I'm the kind of guy who watches the "race within the race" so if it was boring, I would have never known.

If I want to see real works bikes? MiniMoto SX.
If I want to go to the loudest race of the year (by far)? MiniMoto SX.
If I want to see a clinic in how to park, stuff, and brake check people? MiniMoto SX.

LMAO....good one!


Maybe you should try shoe horning that 450 into a 50 frame the way Bevo Forte put that 250 Pursang motor into the mini bike in the 70s.


Those were the days....mini bike races in the pits the night before the Nationals on courses marked by trash barrels....


G Force-More power to the folks who dig Mini Moto.....

Looks fun but I can't see spending all that money on a mini bike.

1999, I made a lot of money racing Mini bikes as an adult. It is to say the least a blast !

You have to do it to understand.............seriously.

I continue to love racing pit bikes because it is flat out fun. I started at the beginning of the craze and continue to this day.

At nearly every race i attend people ask if Buydos and i will ever put pit bike nationals on again......great memories for sure.

Try a little pit bike Supermoto for something a bit more tame........right Alphado ????

We can all thank Eric P, Rob Buydos, MC, the Brown Bros and many others for creating this madness........

You don't have to have a 10k killer bike to have fun. Scavo raced every weekend on a $750 stocker and has a national championship trophy.

The KLX was mine until he grew, he loves it. I just got the X4 last week. You can't beat the Pitsters for the money.

Gotta love pitbikes! They are more fun to ride than to watch however.
