oh and Mark (tbteam) i really doubt that "film crew" is getting paid much. They look like just a bunch of yahoo's just having a good time.
Then I got older and found out there was a whole other level below me wishing they had all my trick stuff and opportunities I had.
This stuff will all balance out and the reality of life is motocross isn't necessary let alone excessive spending at it.
To me, some of the responses had way more "haterade" flowing than the original person. I'm sure we could all trim the fat a bit on this guys setup, but it's all relative to what you got, what you make................period.
I would think the video guy and photo guy do work for more than one family/rider and that helps spread the expenses, same for the trainer and nutrition. I'll say this, it's a little excessive for me, but I'm sure I've had my share of excessive or questionable expenses in other people's eyes. Badmouthing the kid, his results etc etc is not necessary, thats for sure. For the family, good on ya.
By now I'm sure the family has read this thread and I'm wondering what they think of all this.
How many of you live in big nice houses?
Is it necessary?
How many of you drive very nice cars?
Is it necessary?
How many of you have 50" plasma TVs?
Is it necessary?
Get over it guys. If they family chooses to spend their money on the big race set up then who cares?
Pit Row
The fact that our sport doesn't have more stuff like this shows just how small the overall popularity is. In motorsports with real money even the privateers travel in our idea of factory style.
Why the fuck would you show up in a pick up if you got (or grandad got) mad loot.
The kid is fast.
It's a motor sport and equipment matters....so get the best.
Be prepared (get a trainer, a cook, driver, mechanic and coach) The kid is only got one chance.
Mommy loves her boy too so put her in a nice bed. All the races are in shithole towns so get a great bus and send her in to cook.
But Daddy should be racing too. He's young enough to tell the kid to push it 2 feet harder in to a turn.
AND HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE EVEN IF THE FACTORIES DONT CALL!
I love Motocross, always did. Make sure your kid does too.
Matt Tedder will tell ya.
Someone needs to teach that kid how to ride better though, he sits down way too much, and doesnt have that good of form, these rich fag yuppie dads that put all this money into it push there kid/s and cant even realize hey maybe I better have someone, a pro whatever spend some major time with him, learning all the basics and how to ride perfect first, I see so many young kids now that look like hell but go fast, part of the reason for all the injuries I think personally, but?
How do you know he hasn't had pro lessons? Maybe you should send him an email and offer yourself up.
Very gay...
And the kid would benefit from some better riding lessons, he needs to get on a big bike hes looking borderline to big for a 85 anyway.
