Lee Ann, I want you to know that the comment about your son was what enflamed me the most. Your whole family has always been super and sometimes issues happen on the track with all riders. The riders always seem to work it out. If nothing else is accomplished on our posts, maybe the "negative" people will realize that evry rider has a family or friend that relays insults back to them.
I do thank all of you that have reminded me on this post that I may be taking this to heart too much. You are right.

Slightly O/T .... but who was the Yami guy that just blitzed the left side of the whoops just behind Goerke's crash? The announcers got focused on the crash and didn't mention who it was.

To any parents on here ... it's the internet. What can you do? The majority of folks are cool. Just ignore the few that chose to be jerks.

Cyndi, I "feel" your pain. I, too, have gotten on this board in order to clarify issues that have been grossly out context and to pass on information that can be verified as truth. My actions are not intended to be seen as "defending" my son...but, it seems that others know more than we do about what goes on in our "house". It truly amazes me that we have sacrificed for our kids to live the dream (by the way - mine graduated high school early with a 3.95 GPA), and this is what we get in return. Name calling and arm chair play-by-play on things they "think" they have seen and the surety that they post with on information referencing exactly what happens when they are riding on the "backs" of our kids. So often, these things are way off base. I too, tried to mention that name calling and wishes of harm are hurtful when our kids are out there putting it all on the line for entertainment. Oh well...guess it is what it is! I do know this...I have known your son for years and he was a good kid that has grown into a fine young man. I know too that my son has done the same...I am beginning to believe those who have written on your post...it is all about the DRAMA...so sad, cause in our house there is none!

What's your thoughts on the chicken shit move Hansen pulled on Kyle last night?

Was that some sort of payback for something that happened in the past?

What is it that you want me to say? Do you want me to "throw" someone under the bus? I can assure you that there was no prior altercation between the two, KC did not touch him with a tire, and KC rode the same way over that jump each and every time that he came through to that section. This type of riding did not change and as it is his riding style, it should not have to. No other riders were "bashed" for riding and scrubbing the same way throughout the night. I have perused these posts throughout the night and witnessed KC being called all kinds of names. After the Roczen incident, someone actually wanted to break both legs -- as a parent, this is hurtful and unnecessary -- these board are for entertainment and informational purposes only. My proudest moment with Roczen, my son apologized for unintentionally causing the incident though you and I both know that had it worked, KC would have been the man of the moment (unless you are a Roczen fan). What I think some do not realize is that KC and those like him are in this for the love of the sport and for the fact that they have a talent to share with others who enjoy SX/MX. As a parent, I could write forever about what a great guy my son is, but I now realize I would not ever be able to "convince" those who wish to see only the negative. Just so you know, this is not an attempt to "defend" Kyle, just a moment to make a comment. Kyle and Josh know the truth...I have to believe that things will work out in the end, otherwise, I will go CRAZY -- many mean and disrespectful people on this board. Such a shame. :o(

To all mama bears (concerned dads appear to be conspicuous by their absence),

Clearly, your hearts are in the right place (to protect your cubs); however, as others have already pointed out in this thread (some perhaps a little insensitively) you must not place too much, if any, value on what is posted on any forums - whether the comments are good, bad or indifferent. Almost everything that is posted on forums is opinion, here-say, rumour, or innuendo (with scant, if any, reliable validation) by faceless, nameless people. This liberty (this freedom to speak, if you will) is a fundamental cornerstone of all forums and must be protected - with appropriate moderation, of course.

That said, you then need to accept that these same faceless, nameless people don't know your sons, will probably never know your sons and that they will probably never play an important role in your sons' lives. Accordingly, and all feelings aside, their opinions - good, bad or indifferent - shouldn't matter because, frankly, they don't matter. In other words; sticks and stones (and casing triples) may break your sons' bones but names (and senseless opinions by faceless posters) will never hurt them. You can't stop opinions but you can chose whose opinions are worth listening to - generally it's only of those who are important in your sons' lives. Chose wisely and forget about the rest.

Yes, it might be nice (and it might be boring) if we all got along and never a disparaging word was uttered; however, this just ain't gonna happen. Messrs Marx and Engels had some interesting social ideas not that long ago which, on the face of it, appeared to have some merit; however, even these two learned gentlemen totally misunderstood, or totally discounted, human nature. We are all, and always will remain, different. And this is a good thing.

Hmmm, maybe I've taken this a little too far.

I really do not think it is his mom. I have serious reservations that a pro riders mom would get on Vital, use her real name to tell everyone about hurt feelings.

Timeouts here are generally well-deserved, and lobbying on someone's behalf generally doesn't help.

Timeouts here are generally well-deserved, and lobbying on someone's behalf generally doesn't help.

Just by your rediculous, stupid ass picture, I can tell your just an imature, stupid ass who probably doesnt have kids, and even if you do, your probably just a white trash idiot. Comparing John Elway, to matt is comparing Obama to to me. The difference is enormous. Ofcourse thats his friggon mom.

and What in the **** does being homeschooled have to do with anything? So many kids are very smart being homeschooled. Even I wanted to.

Im not waisting anymore of my time. Your an imature idiot who needs to be banned.

WE DONT WANT YOU IN OUR SPORT
