That's their problem. If you're not smart enough to ride within your limits, that's your own fault.
And there, my friends, is the nub of it. We, THE ADULTS IN CHARGE, too often tell young racers that common sense is for pussies and thus it should not guide their thinking on the track, and then we, THE ADULTS IN CHARGE, build tracks with decidedly dangerous jumps that require the participants to possess more balls than brains, and then WE, THE ADULTS IN CHARGE, wonder why fewer and fewer young people want to take us up on our invitation to come on out, put on a helmet and some boots, and try to cheat death? Let me help out here: the reason they decline our invitation is likely because they see themselves as having better things to do, things that provide them an equal amount of fun with much, much, much, less danger.
I would happily race CRF50s around a vacant parking lot because I simply LOVE to race, period. My non-moto life has been an almost unbroken line of unexpected successes, so lucky me - racing-wise, I've got nothing to prove and no one I need to impress. Younger racers are often not this way. They seek the attention that comes with being an Alpha male, and in moto, sometimes the only thing required to accomplish that feat is an eager right wrist and runaway hormones. I'm not young. I'm 59 and I've grown wise over time. I know what needs to be done to fix things, My track is a blast to ride for anyone from novices to pros, it races like a dream, and the only injury in three years time has been one mildly broken thumb. Trouble is, Moto has absolutely no interest in listening to someone like me. I am totally worthless to them, an irrelevant dinosaur. Oh well, Moto - it's your loss. What I say to all who rIde my track is a mantra ALL of Moto should adopt: YOU DON'T GET FASTER IN PLASTER. It's so simple to understand - all it takes is some common sense.
Anyone willing to give up freedoms, for a sense of safety, deserve neither.
Kawi with the old couplers, why not develop an app?
Why do we need big jumps? For fans? Screw the fans.
We need racing.
Racing doesn't need big jumps, it needs racers.
I've been fed up for a while, and quit the industry in part because no one really cares about safety. It's all about how cool they look on Facebook.
We sold it on to a guy who has had many CR500's and he said he wished he had this bike when it was first out there..
Sometimes less is more.
Don't hate me for it, that's my opinion and many others share it, whether you like it or not.
And before you personally attack, I've hunted professionally in the past and currently use firearms in my line of work, but I still find the 'birth right' lust of guns totally weird.
And that's all I have to say about that.
Pit Row
There, fixed it for ya.
1) Use your head. Be smart and don't endanger other riders by cross jumping, jumping over/on someone, etc
2) Control that thing on the end of your right arm! Go only as fast as your capable of! Know your limits.
Hell, I hate to jump, and don't, yet I still broke my leg when I flipped over coming out of a corner. Not the bikes fault, mine for not controlling that thing on the end of my right arm.
I know that a 450 is not the right bike for me so I don't ride one, but I know people who it is exactly the perfect bike for. If anything I thought my 350 was much more dangerous than my 450, the thing was insane.
Not sure what is more moronic, trying to ban 450s or Australians obsessing over guns laws in a country on the other side of the planet.
And please don't use some random kids, being hurt by motorcycles, as your drive to becoming an SJW, hell bent on saving all the children! We've heard that before, way too much! Ohh Save the Kids!! No that's the PARENTS responsibility, not everyone else's in the sports. Its virtue signaling and when you do it, everyone, I mean every single one of us, know your a lying, double-standard hypocrite. But if by chance, you do feel that is your calling in life. Then start a nonprofit organization that helps kids learn safety and the basic technique to riding safely.
Otherwise seriously, STFU, you're not doing this sport any favors.
Why would you ever trust someone else (police/government) to protect or do, what you personally can and should do?
MX is one of the last facets of our society to feel free and to have the only limits be your own. Don’t fuck that up.
Seriously, who rides dirt bikes and dislikes guns? The lack of testosterone in society today, is absolutely pathetic. Man up, and quit stubbing your vag on everything.
