Out at Quad Lock, his agent has been calling teams about 2026 a few weeks back. Not sure what's going on right now though.

At this point you think anyone will give him a chance? His track record with sticking on a team and finishing a season is not good. I would say go back to Bar X but not sure how things ended up with them.

Is his story similar to Masterpool? Is he hard to work with?

I would say based on talking to one of the owners, that’s not an option.

What's the deal behind this? I Googled his name using a couple of different search terms, and I only saw positive stories and team race news about the guy, nothing about stiffing riders.

Word has it back when Ford Dale won the aussie championship he was promised an amount of money and it took years to get paid, that was back in 2012 though 

 

Times have changed since those days and yarrive is more established now

You have to want to race to stay on a team. Mumford was a signed up as far back as Red Bud and never lined up. Seems when he took that chance with PC and was benched it did not go well from there. It's a shame because his results were decent this year. He could always go buy a 450 but this late in the year will be tough to catch on to team next year. Maybe Phoenix Honda will take a chance on him.

At this point in Wilson’s career, do you think he’d keep riding and risking it if he wasn’t getting paid? I don’t think so. But maybe the top name guys are the ones who don’t miss checks.

For how much Wilson is getting paid to go to these one off Sx races I would keep those checks coming in.

The thought of Mumford having an agent is kinda funny. If an agent gets 10% of his clients earnings, does he have to pay 10% if the client has to buy a ride? 🤔

Knowing Carson and his family, I want so badly to see this kid succeed and keep it on two wheels. I can't imagine the injuries, not being at the front and team switches constantly aren't taking a toll on his confidence. Was a top amateur and really got screwed by the Geico team closing up and I'm sure that played a huge part of things during his first couple years as a pro. 

The team switches has me confused though. Is he hard to work with or is his mindset stuck on that he should be on "factory" 250's? 

ML- Any insight on that?

I'm going to refrain from adding to this one, I like Carson. It hasn't gone well for him. I hope things change.

I don’t know anything about him . But you mentioned injuries that the #1 thing . Constantly coming back to where you where before injuries.  The oher riders get tougher to hang with at the front.  Then you figure out your spot & try to make a living as a independent contract. All sports are alike as far as injuries & who rises to the top .  Only 1 rider ever changed teams every yr & finished in the top 3 or won the championship , Chad Johnson . His attitude was positive & said there dirt bikes there all alike or something similar.

Understood! Didn't he some good rides, some top 10's in a few motos and maybe a few top 10 overalls on one of your bikes?

He holeshoted and led a bit at Washougal.

I think in this case daddy pays the agent's 10% as well as for the ride.

I’m sorry but look at a kid like Parker Ross, putting in top 10 results indoors and out as a rookie on a privateer bar x Yamaha team. Sometimes you just have to put in the work.

Obviously there are some issues behind the scenes, but the kid showed speed when healthy the last three years. The best situation would be a ClubMX deal where he's on good equipment but also forced into a routine and to live onsite. Him, Coty, and Max could all top 5 a SX.

Kind of stopped liking him after seeing him try to take out Jo a few times while he was being passed and learning his beef was they both tried out for the PC ride and Jo got it. Seems pretty entitled and I can’t imagine having beef with Jo lol
