Losing to your buddies.
Fortunately, I'm a really good loser....................I've had a lot of practiceSilly

Seriously though, we can all agree, the worst things are injuries. No argument!

Getting the hole shot and spending the entire race losing positions. But then, how would I know what that's like?

Worst Things about motocross………………..
1. Monday mornings after a race
2. having to Clean your air filter after neglecting it longer than you really admit to
3. Being in the last moto of the day
4. Having to drop a deuce 5 minutes before your moto
5. Fluorescent pink MX gear that you are too embarrassed to wear anymore
6. Flat-billers
7. People who insist on using the number ‘69’ on their bike
8. The a$$hole that beat you by 1 point
9. The bigger a$$hole that beat you and you both were tied in overall points
10. People that insist everything they buy for motocross is the best
11. Breaking your fender in practice on raceday
12. Getting the holeshot and then laying it over in the first corner
13. Having a pitboard, but no one using it for you
14. ordering new gear and finding out they sent the wrong size
15. Denting your new aftermarket pipe
16. Losing one of your gloves at the racetrack
17. ‘Sharting’ while at the track with all your buddies
18. Having vehicle problems while traveling to an out of town race

Feel free to add on.............
Being the first one back on the track right after it has been watered (too much)
Elsinore comes to mind.

and the dads who keep saying "we" all the time like its all about them. "we" are not racing, its your child, wake up and quit living through and thinking your child is the next biggest thing.

Getting to the track really early cause you are so excited. Then waiting 4 hours before you can race.

The 2 seconds in the air where you get to look upon the ground and ponder how much landing on your face is going to hurt

Driving 5 hours to race only to find out you went to the wrong track ( maybe that was just my stupidity..lol)

Blowing up your bike 1 lap into practice.

How about having to race down a class because your to slow now for you class! That would be me, started a novice almost made intermediate, then got hurt, came back 3 years later in the 30+ novice class. Took a few more years off due to injuries to come back to the 30+ beginner class, get hurt again and ultimately signing up for the "Sportsman" class and still not be competitive.......damn I suck!

Lmao. I still have the two tone rims on my Zooks. Came with them when I bought the bikes. I've been too lazy to put the stock ones on.

Warming the bike up on the starting line and finally coming to the realization that you have to piss like a race horse.

Not having your gloves on and looking up to see the 5 second flag! My hands turned to raw meat!

Crashing in a rhythm section, getting up and not being able to find my bike! It just kept going and tipped over in a pond deep enough to submerge it. Everyone else knew where it was except me as I looked around like an idiot!

Kawasakis...sorry they just didn't work for me.

When they water the track too much. First of all you cant ride aggressive plus you have a big job when you get home.

the fact that the cool/tool ratio is heavily weighted in the tool column

For every cool, down to earth, in it for fun person you meet you'll meet 3 complete tools

what's that about? no really..... how come?
