Hi 2Fmx , good question, In my almost 20 years of taking photos at the races I've never seen any problem using flash either indoor or outdoors for SX or MX, In dark areas of the track I like using it to make the colors pop.

I always wondered how are the regulations regarding using Flash while taking photos at events with riders up close. I love those pictures. I used to be into photography in past and love the "strobist" photography, but when I was taking pictures at competitions and especially in somewhat good light conditions I stayed away from flash. Its ok to use...

I did matte graphics on my new bike because I wanted something "different" that was extremely subtle. A less glossy finish seemed like it would play into that. What I haven't seen mentioned here that I thought might be helpful to include in the discussion is that the matte finish seems to have more memory than gloss. Being thinner and more flexible makes application a little easier, but the trade off is that if you try to peal away and reapply the graphic to get rid of a bubble or better line up an edge, creases and marks are left...

This thread is making me question my decision to try something new and go with matte for this new setup.. hopefully it doesn't look like trash after a few weeks. If so, expensive lesson learned I suppose.

I just had these made in the matte. And after the first ride they look like shit where my legs rub. I will be getting gloss next time. I will say it does look really good when they are new.

This "gripper" or "sand texture" material is indeed a good option for going matte regarding the visual enhancement if you really wish. From my experience its actually slicker than anything else, so you can't actually grip the bike between your knees properly even when its called "grip" Smile . But its true that some woods riders go for this especially as...

Hey @Martini_26 good question. Most of the companies use vinyl from company called Substance. We used them as well. Once they introduced the Matte laminate, we jumped right in. Few observations tho: 1. It looks amazing. For some designs especially Darker Black on Black kinda style, the Matte is just the way to go! 2. I am not sure if...

As a senior UX/UI designer I can see positive changes so far. I like the breathing space created by better fonts size selection and the negative space around some of the elements. I can see some Padding issues on home page still though. Didn't have much time to look around properly but I found just few things looking at things...

This is how I see the situation between Kenny and Honda. I could be, of course, completely wrong Smile And sorry it will be long... 1. Honda and Kenny have +- 6 year relationship, where he was hired to win championship. 2. He did not win any title, but had win races. 3. It seemed that there was a progress...

"Froth" hat on the mechanic.. Just so happen to be a sponsor of the Genuine Honda/ Honda Genuine team.

Seems like he is going to announce something soon on Stewart’s podcast, but his instagram story was showing some work done on some Honda bike. He covered the logo on bike stand but forgot to cover logo on forks. Take a closer look. It looks like he is going to race for that Genuine Honda AUS team. Don’t they have...

That bike looks clean even before you started your rebuild. Great find! Good luck with the build, I am following along.
After reading and watching all interviews and some podcasts, everything was summed up and mentioned already well here. Who is right, Who is wrong. Who tells the truth and who doesn't. It seems that majority of people are clear on this. And the statistics do not lie. If there are still few people still Yamaha, Deegan, Walker, Dealer side it...

Not sure how this can be related, or if it was posted already, but here is a video from this April, where they're both racing against each other at Southwick 250LL qualifier. Haiden was leading the pack, as he felt down, and Brennan passed him and then they had a little bit of battle where they both went down...

I agree with @Joshracing above. 75% of templates from all these websites, will fit OK, the rest not so much. MKS is the way to go, but there are still differences depending on Plastics manufacturer and they don't have all models available. Anyway, I like the idea of 3D scan, we have been looking into it in the past, but...

Hey! Good luck with your business. I hope it goes well. Graphics and similar businesses are not easy... Not sure what clear number board tape is, but we used to do 2 versions of some sort of protective film. 1. Was just to use extra overlaminate on top of graphics (the same material what you apply on graphics) 2. The...

Yeah you are on some point here. It's either the lack of competition (the empty gates is problem all around the world) or the bikes are so good these days that to make 250 bike race ready needs a little less that it used to?. Hard to tell. What is for sure, is that when you look generally at Czech...
