I agree on both counts. Noticed a few media types slating this place but they are the first to start a new thread when there is something to promote. What bugs me, is the ones that start threads, but don't even bother to interact with the fans that reply to the thread.

I agree totally , Guess his dvd is not selling, using another angle to get customers attention. If it was not a industry person they would have gotten ripped a new one! Double standards in all sports i guess. On that note i ll probably get the dvd LOL!

I assumed it was an imposter.

I mean it was obvious from his columns that he was a lurker (Especially when a few of them directly responded to comments made on here or MotoTalk) despite claiming to steer clear of them, but I never guessed he'd actually pop up under his real name.

But if he sticks around beyond the plugging, it'll be a good thing. Ping would be an asset to this community not a detriment.

He did not sign up and start spamming on day 1 like others get slammed for. He has been popping in from time to time for months to address things involving his team.

The only non suprise is the long line of guys waiting to take a shot at anyone from the industry who does actually come here under there own name.

I feel as if your grouping me in as taking a shot since I replied and I will have you know I could give two shits if someone works/rides/owns anything to do with the "Industry" I think it's retarded and they are just normal people like me and you. I how ever agreed with the double standards of those who are members here. Just to clarify.

Ping is "special" if you know what I mean. Wink
I'm buying the DVD.
I bought and maintained for my wife one of his 99 RM 125's SX bikes, less SX suspension of course, I had Race Tech rework the stock boingers for my wife and she rode the piss out of that thing for 3 years... I might have run a lap or two as well. I even got the pipe that belonged to the motor from another "insider". I've always been a Ping fan. If you ever get the opportunity to talk with him you'll find that he is... well... himself every day. Thanks for stopping by Ping.

It was not directed at you or anyone in this case. You guys were agreeing the Ping did not get slammed by the Vital users for spam like a regular joe would, thus pointing out the hypocrisy in the situation.

I was commenting that it is usually the norm that an industry guy gets hammered.

To be fair, a whole lot of people act like dick's to them right away as well just to try and act cool. It goes both ways.

I'm pretty certain post 1 for Ping with this user name was to spam the video teaser.

One thing it is not is someone spamming their moto website on Vital. IMO that is a clear cut case of crossing the line.

I think most would get their internet butts handed to them in a battle of twits with Ping.

I would say that he mostly uses his account here for spamming purposes. After all the negativity he shows toward this place, it seems kind of weak to me.

His first post was a clarification about why Chris Blose wasn't returning to the team for 2010. He's also posted about Christian Craig, injuries on other riders, getting ready for the season, Cahuilla Creek, Ben Townley, and a lot of other topics...all before any mention of Motocross 101.

Is the site better with an active team manager on it? Yes.

He's not entirely incorrect on his assessment of message boards. Sometimes they're really good...like when you're getting updates directly from team managers. Sometimes they're really bad. Like a lot of this thread...

Ping is the man, and since he is an awesome team manager and can ride the wheels off of a motorcycle then he can write on this message board whenever he wants

That's funny you should say that. I was just thinking the same thing. Ping uses message boards when he needs them and every Friday in Racerhead on the Racer X web site for free PR or to pimp his team and riders.
