I like Mitch’s commercial with Jo better. 

Agreed, it’s slaps

Guys. This content is not for us. If you’re of the age to be posting on vital, you are not the intended audience of Ronnie Mac. 

You are absolutely right!  Weekend desert/trail riders that go out camping and have a good time are the Ronnie Mac crowd. It just so happens that demographic probably makes up about 90% of the dirtbike market.  Not everyone that rides dirtbikes FOR FUN thinks they need to have a strict diet, do Foundation training before their every morning row, and work towards shaving 1/10ths of a second off their laps times on the local VET track. 
 

Relax and “Enjoy the Ride” or something

Maybe Mitch wasn't having the Rockstar graphics on his bike. When did he switch from the 99 CR 250?

Remember when someone would tell the same joke over and over and eventually it just gets super old and not funny anymore?

Typical Vital answer is basically "I hate Ronnie Mac so everyone else does too." 

May be real, may be fake. I have no idea the relationship between Mitch and Jimmy when he was a struggling privateer. FMF sponsored his Motorcycle Superstore race team in 16 so maybe they do dislike each other. This industry is so incestuous so I'm sure they have worked together. 

Ronnie Mac, sometimes I'm amused and sometimes I'm not. His existence doesn't anger me like some of you guys.

Whether you're a fan of ronnie or not, this was just not good content.  It didn't go anywhere funny and shouldn't even have been posted.  Definitely trying too hard by posting that garbage. The only good part was Mitch keeping it real.

No matter what anyone thinks or the bit, this worked out great for both Ronnie Mac and Pro Circuit. Ronnie is getting the content he wants, playing pranks and acting a fool, and Mitch shows that his race team is a SERIOUS TEAM. 
 

If im either of them then im happy that a massive thread on vital is blowing up about my money making ventures.

You must have missed the part where he went into In-And-Out and ordered a hamburger. Classic!

Well, Mitch has his stuff all over Axell Hodges bike and just the Slayground series of videos alone have 15 Million Views so I think he has the "fun on dirt bikes" thing covered with Axell.

 

Mitch and his Sales/Marketing Team are smart enough to know that the crowd loving on Ronnie Mac are most likely not their ideal customers.

I watched it reluctantly. I guess I am old........I have no time for Jimmy and all that bullshit.

 

Good for Mitch for throwing his ass out. If you want a laugh, go ready the youtube comments.

I love Mitch's no bullshit attitude. His candid response was perfect to the seemingly never ending nonsense that is Ronnie Mac. In the same breath, I'd be f*ckin' terrified to ride for him. I'm 33 years old and just watching this video made me feel like I just disappointed my parents.

For me, it was fun to see. 

But I would be Mitch, I would have been upset the same way (if nothing was scripted), Ronnie runs FMF since a long long time ... so who knows what tricks is played when you are in the camera.

Vital with maybe 100 regulars or Ronnie mac with 380K subs and averages 100K views per video which one is more entertaining or pulling more weight in the industry... Not a tough one to figure out. 

I dont think mitch was acting either and i dont blame him for being pissed.

I agree. He’s not for the moto crowd , he’s for the casual guys-gals. 
 

the man found a way to keep food on the table without a real job, and without OF.

So the kid at the desk goes and tells him Ronnie is out front. You really think he would have not called him and Mitch would say I'm busy. Tell you what go to PC and see if he will leave his office to come out and meet.

I don't blame Mitch for being upset.  He runs a professional team, is a busy guy, and it seems like his team has been hit with injury after injury and some bad luck along the way which is no doubt frustrating.  I wouldn't want some clown coming into my place of business telling me my guys are "flopping" like fish.  I'm sure Mitchell has a great sense of humor, but there is a time and place for everything, and this wasn't the time or place.  Mitch wasn't having it, which makes me more of a fan.

Some people can take a joke, some people can take a dick. Can’t satisfy everybody.

Film him going to KTM and asking Decoster directly for a ride.

dare say it would be a similar outcome.

Not many people talk bad about Mitch Payton. A lot of riders and media have stories of Mitch having fun and doing so much for the sport.

yet clowns come in like Ronnie Mac and all of Mitch's History goes out the window because he wasnt up for a joke with a youtuber.

Suspension of disbelief: In a nutshell, the willing suspension of disbelief means the people in the audience know that what they are seeing on stage or screen is a pretend reality, but they are pretending that they do not know that.

 

I just find it hard to believe that if Mitch was legit pissed it would be posted on YouTube. Even with Ronnie Mac's antihero schtick I think Jimmy is smart enough not to make an enemy of Mitch Payton.

Wow, I didn't know Mitch was some kind of saint that is untouchable by goons and youtubers?!? Nothing went out the window with Mitch's history and he is not as "fun" as you want everyone to believe. As for Him and Decoster, they have a job to do and it doesn't include playing into Ronnie Mac's antics but for the sake of testosterone would some of you stop being so f'n whiny about a harmless joke.

I find it hard to believe that he'd even come out of his office to talk to Ronnie Mac of all people.  Why would he even waste his time?

Would Roger Penske drop everything to talk to Ricky Bobby if he showed up at Penske's office?  That's basically what is happening here.

Like him or not, Ronnie Mac has really grown "his" audience over the years.  To believe that these types of stunts aren't pre-planned is pretty foolish.

I got news for you cry babies.  90% of the world sees our sport as a kid sport/joke.  So what, Ronnie is having fun and making a little cash.  He doesn't hurt or help our "professionalism" one bit, because the only ones watching him are moto peeps.  

I'm glad to see him making some cash in his retirement.

Agreed and the funny part is Jimmy can still kick most of the Vital members asses on a track while still being in Ronnie Mac character lol.
