In the Quad vs. triple argument thread, someone mentioned that tabletops identify as anything they want, and it made me laugh. It got me thinking, though: "What do I feel are the axioms of motocross?"
In other words, what things are universal truths to me that might be viewed differently by other riders?
So I'll start off with my simple truths. Please list yours as well. This thread is not for arguing; simply for stating the bases from which you derive all your motocross opinions. Here are the MX axioms, according to Falcon:
-Seat Bouncing is a real thing.
-Three jumps is a triple. It takes four mounds of dirt of any kind to be a quad.
-Two strokes truck, four strokes suck.
-Block passes, throwing elbows, and contact are OK. Intentional takeouts are not.

- Seat bouncing is a real thing but not in the way Teefus was arguing it...
- If a rhythm has a single, then table-top, then a single...and the table can be used as a on-off or a full landing, it can be considered a quad.
- Only people arguing what is and isn't a quad are the guys not even doing them.
- Two strokes, four strokes, electric, pedal power, etc are all fun. None suck, they all have their time..place and enjoyment factor.
- Wheelie boys are horrendous for our sport / industries reputation and look.
- More races for pros to race is a good thing. If they don't want to do all of them, then they can make that choice.
- Vice champion just means you were second place...just say you were second place. You're not a champion.
- Social media (IG, Twitter, and Facebook) comment sections for any sport, politics, or religion is just a waste of valuable time on this earth.

they stated during the WSX that was part of racing in a tight SX race.
What verbiage would you use to describe each option that this presents?
Step on- Step off. 1+1+1+1= 4. Period. Hill I'm willing to die on.
More curious where you stand on Oxford Comma's... lol
Things must be different in CA I guess. Around here, i talk to people on a weekly basis that no longer want to allocate 15% of their income on a hobby.
Axle Hodges has more talent than half the riders in a SX main event
Carmichael is the worst announcer ever.
Pala is a gnarlier track than, say, thunder valley.
Pro quad riders are faster than 99% of this forum's members.
Four-strokes are more boring to watch than two-strokes, but I'll still watch.
The RM250 was the best two-stroke mx bike ever made.
There is too much Monster Energy promotion in the sport.
Blowing up bikes after winning championships sucks.
-Travis Pastrana isn’t that good because his number is 199
- An ESR YZ325 is the sharpest cutlery in all of motocross.
Pit Row
However, since both my parents were English teachers, and I take much of my instruction from them, I prefer the Oxford comma. It just makes sense to me.
For example, there is a YZ250, two RM85s, and a PW50 in my garage.
Of is not a contraction for have. Grossly misused on motocross forums
Jump for show turn for dough
2. The 1981 RM-125 was the best year-to-year improvement of any bike in MX history.
3. Motocross is the ultimate test of man (or woman), machine, speed, and fitness.
4. Mad respect for Supercross skill set, but doing SX-only in your prime is weak.
5. Hannah was the toughest SOB of all time on the track.
6. On a motocross track, Ricky consistently beats any rider in history. (including Hannah).
7. Time spent with my father during my racing career is priceless.
My neighbors couldn't believe that I would change the oil in our bikes without starting them first. That's probably my hottest take. Cold oil changes lol
"I was in the car with my girlfriend, a hairdresser and a mass murderer."
Do you you need to break up with the girlfriend or not?
no faces ... its a single
one face ...its a double
two faces ... its a triple
three faces ... its a quad
a table top is a single
sinlge-table-single is a triple
etc
