You know, maybe its time for people to stop going to Loretta's and instead go to other amateur events that are much more affordable and more fun. Events like the Daytona supercross amateur day, JS7 Freestone Championship, Ponca, Baja Brawl, World Two Stroke Championship, or literally any other Pro-Am event around the country. Let all the industry plants and factory amateur riders who don't have to pay to be there have their little race. Meanwhile, all the other hard working people (true amateurs) who actually have to spend money to go race choose to go somewhere that offers better racing and a better location. Loretta's only exists because people keep signing up to go to it and are willing to pay the price of admission.

But to get back to the original point, influencers and YouTube personalities are idiots.

Hitting a tree’s like hitting a boat—either way, you’re the only one surprised it didn’t move..... MX Sports & RC

It's not "so bad", it is the same thing that has been going on for decades. The difference is we're under attack from insurance companies now and it's better not to highlight the partying aspect of these events. Hire security to handle it if a situation gets out of control but otherwise just don't talk about fight club. If actual patrons start complaining, then by all means get better control. But that's not what is happening.

It's not the same thing. Some of us knew how to party back in the day without acting like asshats.

Agreed again. I should of said I'm not even a fan of his. Ive also never met the guy. As a guy thats had a track and worried about stuff I still don't see the need for the ban. Talk to the guy first and tell him your issues. This is just going to give people like cooksey more bashing content. They had that letter made up that day and it was pretty amateur. Again I hardly follow the guy and I know his last name. But I'm not really shocked. Ever since I was little the mx sports staff has gave me bad vibes. I'm not saying every single one just the ones I've came in contact with. Ive never came in contact with Davey either so the only things I know about him is what gets posted. So he could be a great guy or a bad guy I don't know. 

He said in the video that they got his name wrong. In legal land the letter carries no weight. He was actually pretty cool and was nice enough to abide. He should come up with a letter of his own saying, "that's not me. must be someone else."

MX Sports sucks. Like some else said, he just presses record.

Many, if not all tracks are having trouble getting or keeping insurance. When insurance is gone, our sport is gone. I think all tracks should do what they can to protect our sports and that's is what MX Sports is trying to do. There is nothing to gain with video's like Slowie posts. Yes some crazy things happen, but why promote it and make MX look bad??

So if you have a YouTube channel you can apply for press credentials and get them or what? Who would even give a guy like Slowie a pass in the first place? Or can you buy them?

Echoing the sentiment, I need to do more research and see what all of his content is about and if it’s really that bad, but banning someone from all MXSports because they said Jeremy Hand caused the red flag seems honestly tyrannical and a bit obnoxious. The insta vid slowie posted is a bad look, and I have no clue why he doesn’t take it down especially when he knows it’s false, but banning someone for a misinformed video seems even more obnoxious and like an unnecessary use of power.

You are missing the point and it’s going over your head. All of these tracks are having problems keeping Insurance. I know Washougal already had problems years back. Slowie posts a video where no one got hurt and says guess what they are hiding this from you, a bike went flying into fans. What do you think his intention is, or is he that dense? It’s unfortunate that insurance companies are looking for any reason to cancel you but this kind of shit just doesn’t help, especially when everyone was okay. He shows drunk people in the pits doing stupid shit. He’s asking girls to flash him and posting it.

 It’s ruining it for everyone, the fans that go, the tracks and the promoters. He doesn’t want to act like a real media outlet, so he doesn’t get treated like one. It’s pretty simple.

Yeah insurance is a fucker for sure. My parents have helped run a local bush horse race and country fair for years... they just gave up a few years back as insurance got so exhorbitant and then eventually couldn't even be done. 

They're cunts. Not my parents and their mates. They're great.

So is getting banned from a track the new in thing to do?

One video popped up in my YT feed today for Washougal. I'd never heard of the guy but he has almost 50k subs.

Your usual bro stuff, lots of yelling and whatever.

You know it's not the Insurance companies that are the issue, right? It's the people you are attending with that are the problem. They are the ones that sue which then engages the Insurance Company.

Bottom line is organizers have to engage Insurance companies to protect themselves from you and your friends.

Don't take "you and your friends" personally that's just a blanket statement.

Bottom line is the USA gave us all the excuses to litigate. They invented it.

Same goes for Vegas, or fight club, or . . .

It's not "so bad", it is the same thing that has been going on for decades.

I think 99% of these events now are so much more tame than they were say 7-10 years ago. Being at a bunch of nationals this year things are pretty chill. I wasn’t at red bud and that’s known to get out of control and that’s why they separate the lots. But to my knowledge a lot of people got in this shit this year even compared to usual. I don’t think they are letting it just be a free for all and think all these events continue to get more so policed than the year previous. All I know is 15 years ago I would never even bring a female to unadilla on the national day let alone the night before.

I also agree with t-fish and his post above. A lot of videos are hard to watch. Scroll thru and ad blocker make it manageable.  From everything I see that can be proved true I also agree with your opinion of Tim.  One thing I do question though: is that really Tim? Anyone can make a youtube account with any name and picture. I question this because slowie has put out 2 fake news posts in the past couple weeks. The red flag then the canning story. Before this I didn't get this from him. Just that he would say things like so and so rider or this happened and it was very old news but breaking to him. His audience and him aren't people that are super up to date with whats actually going on. With that said I wouldn't be surprised if that was Tim or if it wasn't. Just would like a for sure.

I found that hard to believe that he would be in the chat. Thanks for the confirmation.  Slowie is digging himself a hole.

If the website run by the couple who are not journalists and just wanted to go on an extended moto vacation, then put out content calling everyone racists and talking about how the patriotism at opening ceremonies made them uncomfortable keep getting a credential, then I'm not sure how anyone gets denied a credential. 

Wtf is this in reference to? Sorry, first I've heard of anything like this
