This popped into my head and it might make for good conversation:
What are THE RULES?
You know, you don't tug on Superman's cape, spit into the wind, pull the mask off of the Lone Ranger, etc., but in MX parlance. What are some things we all should know, via osmosis, because we are motocross riders? These aren't written policies, but things we should all agree on. Post your thoughts. Here are a few:
-The pits are big. Don't park your truck so close to mine that I can't spread out a little bit. On the other side of that same coin, don't spread your shit out so far that I can't park, either.
-Look where you're going when you re-enter the track. Also, consider the speeds that occur at that spot. I can't remember exactly how many times I've almost tattooed some knucklehead for cruising right out into the main line in the middle of a 4th-gear straighaway, but I'm sure it's more than once.
-Don't let your kid on a 50 out on the main track to practice unless he hauls so much ass that the state you live in has given him a commercial driver's license and weight exemption. Even then, put a day-glo yellow helmet on him.
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
Pit Row
Imagine downvoting a post that says “don’t beat your wife or kid”
