My kids were both in high end high school athletics, there is a LOT of shitty parenting out there. Adults living vicariously through their children.

I agree... but there's good ones too. My buddy's kid is in his first year of NHL hockey, and leans on dad a lot.

I heard that KTM wants all their riders there this year because they are paying alot of money to Aldon  and all their Baker guys are no longer on the team..if you notice it seems like all his 450 riders get hurt ..i  heard they ride everyday including thursdays before catching their flights to the races .LEADING TO  .BURNOUT ..Plus he doesnt even   train the 250 riders, mike brown used to, but not sure who does now ..i also heard that the riders have to pay for their practice mechanic  to live back their along with having to pay for their own housing while in florida,, so for Prado and Ryder D they have houses they are paying for in california where their practice mechanics also live .Its probably  not to good on their pocket books to have  to go to florida.. You sure as hell dont want to be training in Florida if you race the West in 250s. .Plane tickets and having to fly across the country every week wouldnt help

Ridiculous to still having Aldon on the payroll when the company was as good as broke, they dumped brands and teams rather then dumping Aldon..i know aldon doesn't cost as much as NV augusta or gasgas but its the wrong signal. That bootcamp hype last as long as riders are superior ...when bootcampers get beaten by happy talent hype dies.
