I've mentioned this before but when you went to Vital MTB and stirred the shi* over there and their members came here and bombarded this place with hate filled posts by the thousands I thought GuyB was gonna stroke out. The verbal battles between you and Lenny were classic. Fun times!!

I believe I just got back into the sport and signed up at Motodrive sometime in 2007 and when the Motodrive board got absorbed by Vital my member date was 4/1/2008

You just reminded me of when SuperRat went and trolled some MTB board, seriously, those guys can't take a joke.

Hmmmmm.......... Maybe it was SuperRat  😳

I don't think it was the Vital MTB board though. Seems to me it was on MD as well. Rat was hilarious though.

No, but he did defend Alessi standing on Tedesco’s bike during a national. Lol

Fellow Norcal rider. BELIEVE THE HYPE. He trolls my facebook posts from time to time. Said he sometimes misses all of us spermbeards.

Might as well dust this gem off....😁

Mid-90s when the only place I could get Internet was my college computer lab and I fired up Netscape, wondering if there was anything motocross-related on the net. There were like four results, one of them being Whip It I believe. It was a long time ago. I remember being amazed there was any mention of motocross on the World Wide Web.

Thanks for remembering WI!

Sorry that I missed “Whip it” on my timeline post earlier. 

Sometime between March and December of 94 I got access to the internet at work and looked up “motocross” and Whip it was the first place I found/visited.  Don’t remember exactly how MikeeP’s Fresh Dirt tied into Whip it, or not, but I would visit those every day on lunch and have continued with the others mentioned for the last 32 years. Same username. 

Fun fact.  My username came from the naming of my son Broc who was born in March of 94.

Mikeee's (RIP) Fresh Dirt started as a column on Whip It!, then migrated to FreshDirt.com which I had set up for him.

I think that earned me a month long time out... while guyb said it was funny at first, he said it caused him a lot of grief with the big wigs... lol Good times!!

Yeah, Lenny has progressed to Facebook and around 87 anti-trump posts per day. Most of which, he tags me in! lol

Don't let that rat bastard steal my thunder! LOL (rat is actually a good guy!)

I started it with "Motocross is definitely a much more demanding sport than riding a bicycle. Most of you pussies couldn't handle 2 laps on an MX track, let alone hit any sweet triples..." Then posted a link to the MX side saying..."if you don't believe me, come on over and see what it's all about".
