I know a kid lives out near Placerville. He's been my boy's best friend since they were 5. Mayson is 14 and just got a well-used CRF150r. They don't have a ton of $$$. Anyone in the Sac area want to help me give his suspension a rebuild? Both ends need seals, oil, probably bushings. I'll pay for the parts.

This kid's had a tough go - his Mom committed suicide when he was 10 and his Dad's not really in his life. He's living with his grandparents now since they are the only stable people he has.
If anyone else wants to kick in some $$$, I'm happy to collect and have Slipdog go through the bike and make sure it's safe and reliable for the boy. Give him a Christmas to remember thanks to Vital MX. There's a lot of good people on here.
PayPal me at mike@hamershock.net. Every dime will go towards this boy.

That'd be awesome! I know he's on 2nd/3rd hand gear for almost everything.

He could never lose the chip on his shoulder and shot himself shortly after he turned 25. That kind of loss never goes away. I hope the kindness you're showing him helps avoid a similar fate. Check your PayPal brother <3
How about a helmet size thinking a new one may be in order.
I’ll run buy the shop and come up with something nice and ship it up.
Take care
Other than mx stuff what else does he need? My wife and I have been extremely blessed in our lives. We were just discussing what we were going to do for someone this Christmas and then I read this thread.
I'm so proud to be associated with the mx community. No other group comes together like we do!

I'll get in touch with his Grandpa today and make sure he knows to expect some things to show up. I, too, have witnessed how the moto community treats its members. I've not yet been to a track where I don't run into someone that I can relate to - that core love of moto generates a bond regardless of background.
Mayson loves moto. He and my son started riding together at 4, and raced Friday Night Motocross at Sac Raceway starting at 5. Mayson never had the family structure to keep that going on a regular basis. He's always had crap bikes that barely ran and were completely uncompetitive. He just loved to ride and still does. He and my boy play online moto together all the time, and they are waiting for the new MXGP 2020 to come out. They plan to use the track builder to make the tracks they grew up riding on. We hope to get down there in 21 and spend a week riding all our favorite NorCal tracks with him. They haven't seen each other in almost 3 years now.

I think it would be best to compile a running list of what has been procured for him so we dont duplicate purchases and while doing so we should all be able to pull together and send him enough to get his dirt cycle reliable and competitive.
Hammer, if you can make this happen or just message or text me , 760-608-1688, i will be happy to make my contribution to him as well. I will have an item(s) drop shipped to him from one of my distributors!
Its really awesome to see this moving forward like this!
One of my neighbor's boys, 14 also, started racing this year. On Saturday he hole shot, and went on to win the beginner open class moto, his first win ever. He was under pressure the whole way and never faltered. Got 2nd over all and a nice $4 plastic trophy. The look on his face, the adrenaline and pride, after that moto, is why I do it.
