I think promoting riding like ML did in Social Scoop of the Dumb ass trying to jump the house and eating crap is bad for the sport.  It is more dare devil stuff.  Any idiot can hold it wide open and hit a jump to get clicks or dead.  The freestyle guys train and do cool things that very few can do, so that is a bit different.  But giving space to dumbasses is stupid.

Does everything have to be analyzed for greater meaning?  Does everyone have to be an advocate?  Can we not enjoy things for what they are...entertaining, stupid, embarrassing, and amazing?

ML: Pls keep doing what you are doing.

I think promoting beer like you are doing in your picture and name is bad for the sport. It is all 21+ stuff and most of motocross is underage. Any idiot can hit a beer bong for clicks but end up dead through alcohol poisoning or drunk driving. The craft beer people train and do cool things, so that's a bit different. But giving space to beer on a moto forum is stupid.

If anyone is talented enough, ballsy enough or even just dumb enough to try and jump a house on a dirtbike then I will happily watch them.

Always have, always will 😂

I'm a hopgrower, we promote responsible drinking.  Is showing kids they can get attention and make money jumping a house responsible?  Just set up a ramp and go for it, you'll be famous.  I support dirtbike riding and racing.   I don't support them on the public highways, I don't support them being modified and rode in forest lands without spark arrestors and I surely don't support promoting kids to go and try to jump houses in the neighborhood.  If you think this is cool just imagine it's your kid trying this to get a video on instagram.

I'm pretty sure all the idiots like the "Wheelie Boyz" running on the streets and causing problems are the biggest image problem motocross has. If I could Thanos snap a problem to go away...Wheelie Boyz type shit would be a top 3.

Yeah, showing you have absolutely no sense of humor is just what you needed, right now.

KDub, Josh Hill, Travis Pastrana, Stew, You guys should only jump the triples as they're intended!

Jason Anderson - Tuck in your Jersey!!!!!

Brian Deegan should've been kicked out of the sport for  his ghost ride!!!

-Moto is fun risky and sketchy. That's what it's all about. That's the appeal.

That being said that house jump was just plain dumb!!!!!

If kids are getting on a bike and trying this, that's a tragic parenting issue. Not an issue with ML. You're aiming at the wrong target here.

I’d have missed the house jump video. I suppose I could have made that clearer.

What exactly is “responsible drinking”? Who decides that?

You'll be lucky to break even if everyone drank responsible.

You mean well, I dont think kids interpret things the way you did at their age which is I imagine your reference point to what is/isnt acceptable to show. I'd avoid looking at whats on your grand kids' phones these days, it will traumatize you far more than this house case to double front ragdoll.

People trying to assert their personal judgement of acceptable behaviors onto others is what is bad for the sport.

Mind your own business.
