Just curious, as far as I'm concerned, this website is one of the most prominent motocross and supercross forum and websites in the industry and there are a lot of interesting topics discussed, dirtbike tests and other great information related to the sport. This is coming from someone that has absolutely no experience in regards to what it takes to run a small team, but I'd think the advertising would be great for this place and being forum members, we'd feel like we had a small part in being team support. I just woke up and had this vision of a MX team with the VITALMX logo on the radiator shroud and at the races it would give all of us a team to get behind and vitalmx members could see in person our favorite team riders and maybe chat with our favorite MX personality ML512 once in awhile in person. I don't know, I just think of motocross related companies like FMF, Pro Circuit and Dunlop having their logo's all over MX bikes, but I don't see many related to MX forums, especially this place. Anyways! just wondering if it's ever been researched and maybe it's already been done and I never realized it, but I think it would be cool to see a VitalMx Sprinter van with a couple bikes in the back and the riders traveling the country from race to race. Would the forum recognition alone offset some of the expense of running a small team.
Who the hell is going to run it. Sure as hell won’t be ML. Now VitalMX as a team sponsor I could see, but not running a team.
Maybe buy the old Gieco truck and hire Coty Shock and Carson Mumford? Sounds like a fantastic idea!
did the FXR team that ML ran have any Vital logos on it?
Not until you tell us what truck you purchased shall I go down another rabbit hole

Colors line up pretty good with Triumph..
Team VitalMX Triumph..
The boss is busy, bro.
I'm waiting for it to arrive first and then I'm going to post a picture. I just wanted to get a gauge of what people thought of the current crop of Trucks available that I was considering.
You ever thought about working for Triumph?
There ya go and Michael Lindsay had a lot of good things to say about that Triumph TF250. Sounds like a match made in Heaven and maybe Jeffrey Herlings will bag the MXGP's and join team Vitalmx and ride the Triumph TF450 in the AMA Motocross Nationals next Summer.
Nope! Hey if Vitalmx wanted to hire me as the Team Manager, I'll go Mano a Mano with Tony Alessi any time if any of his MotoConcept riders mess with Team Vitalmx/Triumph
Smartest way to promote the Brand & the most exciting team in the country. Would b a 125 team in different regions. Omg Wi. 125 class is stacked this yr. They win against the other Midwest riders & win Regional Qualifiers but don’t hv the money for LL. And finish in the top 5 at the mini O,s. 500 per race to cover expenses & a top 3 or 5 bonus program. Since the AMA will not start a 125 series. I think Vital Mx should since there the vocal point of the sport. I ran across Michael,s yt channel of 2-stroke races. Michael is our guy. Get FMF and others to kick something in. Then the AMa would probably start a series similar to 125 emx the next yr.

"Hey guys here's my fender"
Well, maybe Triumph would throw in some financial support for a team to get more of their bikes on the tracks and exposure. Anyways, it just sounded like a cool idea, but so far the Poll shows more people Poo! Pooing this idea then supporting it. I just have this vision of Triumph, Beta and Ducati MX bikes lining up next to Yamaha's KTM's, Honda's, Kawasaki's and Suzuki's and this place has to have some connections, I'm sure one of those manufacturers would toss in some support for a team.
I can't believe you're going to make us wait that long to find out what kind of pickup truck you bought
Triumph has enough exposure, that’s all u hear. If my 4 or 5 injections go right. I hope I get to race one. Riders want to buy them for the 51 hp impressive yes. But how much r u riding? The riding in Wi. Is cheap 200 for the yr at 1 track. Cheap riding u ride more . The back end kicks , u adjust a clicker. You end up getting your bike setup better. More comfort= more speed. Then 51 hp means nothing .
You're right, I posted pictures of what I ordered in that other thread, but here it is
Just giving you a hard time. That is a badass truck, congrats!
Pit Row
You could be team manager.
I am not your guy, I am not a big two stroke person. 😂
Who’s giving Vital MX a million dollars to start a team? 😂
Not that I remember ever seeing. The team was in the time period between when he left here as a test rider and when he came back as the boss after Gibby retired.
I remember seeing factory riders back in the 70's traveling around the country to race in a Box van. Where in the heck does a $MILLION! add up. Is that the average cost for a small team to race the AMA National circuit.
VitalMX will never be allowed to have an AMA Supercross Team.
See applicable Rules posted at the beginning of the year:
"Content deemed to have inappropriate wordplay will be disallowed."
"Sponsorships promoting devil-worship or endorsing cult affiliations will be disallowed."
Yeah pretty sure y'all are going to run afoul of that quickly and get the team banned from SX
I was waiting for a jacked up HONDA Ridgeline for someone that bleeds HONDA. Lol
I knew someone who someone who had one of those Ridgelines, didn't care for it at all.
You should get a driver in there and make it look like Matthes 🙂
This is reminding me; didn’t Vital have logos on tough blocks and banners at some point? I believe Transworld MX had them as well 🤔
