Dude’s out here in 2024 complaining about freestyle MX being bad for the sport. Mate, you’re about 20 years behind in that sentiment. 
 

I reckon most users here don’t even visit the front page of this site, let alone the influential youth you seem to think is reading websites.

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 agree. I wish we could have weekly videos of wheelie boyz. It's not exactly SX or MX and not exactly what motocross purists do, but its in the same context as this video. So if I may, ML, I'd like to buy a round of wheelie boyz videos. Heck, I'd like to buy a round every week for a year. Y'all don't even need to thank me, just Drink up!!

Exactly...remember when all those kids saw those stupid stunts and set up ramps to jump a bunch of cars down at the car lot?

Thanks for the laughs, folks!

"Responsible drinking" is a very subjective term.

And it's very important for our youth to see what happens when a stunt is miscalculated. It's more damaging to only show success.

Are you seriously trying to say that people weren't inspired by Evil Knievel? I just watched a video of Raha the other day talking about how much he wanted to be like him.

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.

 

Man....reminds me of hillbilly and his sentiments towards shine and societal behavior.

Some of the comments in here are just sad.

Glad I grew up in the era without bulldozer parents.   Evel Knievel was our role model.

 

You never know how far/high you can go unless you try....Laughing
