5 or 6 years ago www.motocross.com used to be one of the most popular MX sites on the net. Before Sean sold it they even had a MX.com ride day in North Carolina by the VA line that drew in 100+ riders from 500+ miles away.

What happened???

How many of you used to post there?

Their site is slow to load, and is really convoluted looking. Same reason I don't check out TWMX much, though I know both have some good content.

They had a period where there was a revolving door of editors.... Tim Olson and Brendan Lutes. Brown Dog Wilson is doing a lot of cool stuff over there now. The site loads fast for me!

LUMPY!!!

Don't know if you remember Grizzly600 but that was me. I think motogeezer and sean are on MXnewsfeed.com

I remember you, I used to Mod that forum and do Product stuff and stories for that site. I did the red bull last man standing story for them too.

I sang and did sound for a short period back in Maryland.........a very long time ago.

Grizzly.....hows it going?

When Sean sold the site and moved to the UK it seemed like most of the posters went with him but his new site MXnewsfeed did not take off.

I'm good I haven't been riding because I'm a broke college kid Sad but soon!

I haven't heard from him in a bit! I think Sean was just the editor, the owner of the site sold it to warner media. I went on mxnewsfeed few regulars are there but there are never many new posts.
