I honestly don't remember how it was referred too in the past 20 years, but the racecraft term is only a couple years old and just bugs me. Another that is starting to get thrown around, mainly by JT on the pulp show is the constant use of the word nuance. 

What rock have you been hiding under. 

Racecraft is as old as racing. 

It was one of the things David Bailey had, and Magoo didnt.

Pretty common lingo here in PA.

Have literally never heard anyone call Supercross “soupy”.

As I mentioned earlier. It’s pretty common out here. Can’t say that I like it and hope it has run its course. First heard it about 5 years ago at Milestone while being parked near where some pro’s were practicing “soupy”

Don’t shoot the messenger

This doesn’t just apply to Vital, it’s a common theme all across social media, it seems… but stop adding the word “literally” to a sentence in an effort to somehow add emphasis to the point that’s being made. Once you spot it, and see the frequency of it, it’s like nails on a chalkboard.

You obviously never heard Emig being interviewed in the 90’s. Kudos to him for getting rid of that habit later.

most people who moto cant afford it anymore.

 

the industry is on its way out and the people who are in it are just sucking it dry until it blows away. if you want to see the future of mx racing, take a look at MotoAmerica (formerly ama superbike)

 

the mfgs and industry at large do not do enough about land issues regarding tracks and whatnot

Since I retired...I really can't find too much to bitch about.  Things are just as effed up as ever...it just doesn't bother me as much as it used to.  Think I'll just enjoy what's left til they stick my carcass in a grave box....or the wife tells them to turn the oven to 11 so I'll be acclimated to my next residenceWoohoo.

the constant whining and crying about the effing commercials … just please stop it’s worse than my kid asking me for ANOTHER effing game or toy! The commercials are what makes the effing broadcast possible and without them the racing would not be on whatever platform you watch it on anywhere. When they come on hit the mute and go take a leak and grab another beer fer christ’s sake!

Why the fuck do suburban white young people, especially girls, think it's cool to stick their tongue out in photos and flash cheesy gang signs? When did sticking your tongue out become a cool social look? You're not gangster, you're a complete tool. You work at Starbucks and drive a used Subaru, you're not some hardened thug from the 'hood.

To me, ‘colorway’ fits if an item is made up of a combination of colours. 
 

for example, you can’t say “CRF plastics are red”. Nor can you say “CRF plastics are white”

this is because CRF plastics are red AND white. This to me is the “OEM colourway” Or I suppose you could say it’s the “OEM colour combination.”

another thing I find embarrassingly weird is “whoop-de-doos”

they’re ‘whoops’. Pronounced “whooooooops”, not “wups”

Strait away, Highway, Roadway, Pathway, all describe a route from one place to another. AKA, the way you go.

Colorway is just pointless decoration of a word (color or colors..) that’s already plenty descriptive.

Now get off my lawn!!

Sounds stupid but it drives me insane. You might as well say "I filled my gas tank up to 110% with fuel so I could give 110% effort".

If you gave 110% why not 120? or 150?   Bugs the hell out of me.

People thinking their kids will make it racing and go deep into debt. Only people like James and Ricky make enough to pay off the debts and retire after. Most riders don’t break 200k a year, no where near enough to retire when they are done. Just let your kids be kids, and if they have the talent of James or Ricky, everyone will know and you won’t have to fund them.

I would be so stoked to make 200 a year. Hell even 150 or even 100. That's more than I make right now not racing.

 All day race programs just suck! The SRAC club in Colorado ran split day programs forever. You either started early as normal and were done after lunch, or you showed up around noon and were done normal late afternoon. My 1st amature day race was at millville...we signed up at sunrise practiced soon after then I look at the race order and my class is gate #34 first moto around 1pm?? The fuck is this I ask a local? now the RMXA in Colorado runs the same all fucking day bullshit programs. Pretty stupid

That’s nothing if you’re trying to retire at 30 and raise a family.
