The Rules.

Dont rip and roost thru the pits covering everyone’s vehicles and food in dust for no reason.

Don’t try to ride over your head to race people on a practice day.

never start at the inside and end up on the outside (or vice versa) where someone currently is unless you’re damn sure you’ll be well ahead of them, if you clean me out and I was on the opposite side of the track that’s absolutely retarded.

Here’s one that should be but never will be.

If you’re shredding and scrubbing don’t fucking enter c or beginner. Don’t be a fag.

You gotta be Johnny on the spot when gate drops are firing off. If you aren't paying attention, you'll miss your race and that's on you. 

I see a lot of new people missing motos because they don't realize how fast things move at the gate and in staging.

Load your bike up before you post your results on Instagram needs to be a new classic 

Don’t fall for the old banana in the tailpipe trick

Don’t put twinkies on your pizza

If you're a fast rider passing slow/inexperienced riders (especially young kids) in open practice, give them extra space and expect them to be unpredictable 

If you're a slow/inexperienced rider on track with fast riders, hold your line, be as predictable as possible and dont roll blind jumps in the main race line.

Don't ride like bam bam in practice sessions doing overly aggressive passes and cheap takeout moves unless its your buddy and he's OK with it.

Don't sue the track owner when you get hurt due to your lack of skill or good judgement.

On the flip side: if you’re not shredding, stay the fuck out of A practice. 

1000%

First lap of the day should always be a sight lap. I don't care how good you think you know the track. I've lost track of the number of times I've seen lap one of Saturday practice end someones day/weekend/season. 

I love asking people why they ride so fast in the pits and so slow on the track

Don’t send your boots to a guy you meet on Vital. 

No Armor-All on the seat. No WD40 on the brakes. No need to shake the gas can for minutes. Let wife’s panties fall out race pants at home, not at track. DON’T be like my buddy Chris and bring an opossum (unplanned) in your gear bag. DO be like Dave B and pick up a used Suzook in your airplane……

Don’t be drunk dad in the parking lot.

Don't beat your wife.

This is a big one.  That Jay Dalton dude from YouTube just raced a LL qualifier in C class against teenagers and it was the most embarrassing shit ever.

Don’t scream and yell at your kid to go faster or jump something.  

Or your kid

Imagine downvoting a post that says “don’t beat your wife or kid”

This thread has promise

only idle/1st gear through the pits 

Don’t cut through other people’s pits

Hold your line! 

Don’t race someone that’s passing on practice day… it’s practice at the local track not the last lap for the championship so just calm down sport! 

Don't start your bike, rev the crap out of it, and click it into gear when it's on the rev limiter. Could we let the revs die down a bit? Far out. 

there are etiquette rules in cycling, some here:
https://www.velominati.com/the-rules/

inspired by these, i'd say things like:
don't stretch your goggles over your chinguard for storage at any time. 
don't put company stickers on your bike that aren't your sponsors
no brand-colormatched anodized parts unless they came OEM. yes, even for KTM
don't sandbag just so you can get a trophy
clean your helmet after every race
 

When a faster rider is coming up behind you, hold your line. 

Never pull out

Now you tell me...😕

Revving your bike until you could light a cigarette off the head pipe on the gate pre-race doesn't help anything .

Just don't. 

NHRA burnouts on concrete start pads are stupid too. But, hey, it's your tire. If you want to burn all the goody off before the first turn, have at it.

There has been a serious decline in common sense around MX tracks.  It is now normal on any practice day to have these IG wanna be stars entering/exiting the track either immediately before or immediately after blind jumps so they can "session" a certain jump and have their buddies get sikk content of them.  Then you have the trainers that send an entire train of 50cc riders onto the track, also on the backside of a blind jump, to practice a corner.

Taking a sight lap is very important!  The first time I raced the amateur race before the national at Pala, the day before my race, they turned a huge table top into a gigantic double that only pros should jump.  Without a sight lap, I may have landed in the middle and dropped about 25 feet.  Always take a sight lap.

If I'm focused, but tired, I can overcome fatigue with focus.  But if I'm really tired, and losing focus, I call it a day.  Same for skiing.  In this case taking "One more lap" is not the best idea.

Do not EVER say "Just one more moto...." or anything even similar. In fact, don't even think it. If you do, you will yard sale.

This applies to surfing, snowboarding, skiing, mountain biking, etc.
