Where did you get that?
*not directly tying Ping to any of this, just so many people talking about "politics" in this thread made me want to vent.
But I shut it off when politics start to leak into the content. I enjoy motocross and motorcycles for the escape they bring; I don’t enjoy hearing about someone’s beliefs about covid or the president, whether I agree with the opinion or not. Hopefully Ping tones it down a little because he really is a joy to listen to about moto stuff.
He has some beliefs and everyone knows where he stands, but I guarantee if he saw you on the side of the road changing a flat he would stop to help. And he sure wouldn't ask who you voted for first.

Fuck Liberals got deleted cause it goes directly against my guidelines on politics. If someone said fuck conservatives, I'd clip that as well. Hell, my political views are conservative in nature.
Anyway, Ping does get Ryno kooky sometimes and he seems a little me-me-me entitled, but I like him anyway and hope this will be good for him.
It’s just the beginning of the sorrows….lots of this to happen in many sectors of business.
I agree with those extremes being clipped in the moto forum, for sure.
Ping's hair is incredible!
If you don't like Vital, don't come to Vital. If you don't like Ping, don't follow Ping wherever he goes.
It shouldn't matter what his politics are, seems to me he's doubling down on the income streams HE has more control over.
He has a couple daughters (I think) who are involved in sports and other things, if him having more control over his income streams allows him to invest more time with his family, how can anyone fault that decision?
As far as the fire service goes, I took a leave of absence in the fall. There are many factors, including vaccine and mask mandates, staffing issues and the simple fact that I was away from my family too much. Without going into detail, Covid caused massive worker shortages in every field, and we were no exception. I was being forced to work around 20 days per month… that’s twenty 24-hour shifts. Being gone that much is very hard on a family… especially having teenage girls, Lord help me. Anyway, that’s why the long hair and beard. Planning to return to the job later this summer once my new projects are off and running.
It makes me chuckle when I hear people say that I’m a crazy conspiracy theorist. I believe in God, family, the United States constitution and the smallest possible government to protect our rights and freedoms as a republic. I guess I’m really out there.
Cheers

Ping 2024!
As far as censoring, banning, clicking goes, IMO GuyB was a NAZI compared to ML. ML seems to be pretty light handed in these regards.
The biggest problem with Vital is that we are not all moto insiders. I'm just a fan. I don't know any industry insiders. I come here as a pure fan. If I make a disparaging remark about a rider, it's not personal as I don't know that rider. But the staff of Vital, they do know them, so they take it as a personal attack on their buddy.
Bob Hannah is a good example of what I mean. Bob's public persona is one of an arrogant asshole. People tell me that Bob Hannah the private man is not like that. But why chastise me when I call Bob Hannah the racer an arrogant asshole, after-all, that's his brand. Dungey's brand is the clean cut All American boy next door. The racers all have a brand they present.
It's almost like moto fans aren't really welcome here, it's just for the cool kid industry insiders.
It's like Pro Motocross simultaneously wants to stay small and cool and exclusive and simultaneously become big and mainstream.
Just my observations.
