Hopefully, MX Sports is getting rid of the ridiculously outdated double-displacement rule. These will go down as the dark ages of Professional MX. That ridiculous rule inadvertently killed the BEST PLATFORM EVER, the 250cc two-stroke.

In conditions such as they were, knowing that four-stroke dirt bikes do NOT handle mud and excessive clutch heat very well, 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐌𝐗 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐨𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝟐𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 + 𝟐 𝐥𝐚𝐩𝐬, 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝟑𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬. ... more »

I know everyone, including myself, wanted Zach Osborne to line up and race. Maybe the "Powers that be" should consider modifying the rule book and think about always running the LCQ race, regardless of weather. Here are a few times it would have been ... more »

One of my favorites from my garage toolbox. Being from the East Coast, these are especially rare.

A privateer 3 digit rider, who's bike wasn't running for the B Group practice would NO WAY get to ride the A Group session. I think they should always have a LCQ race, regardless of the track conditions. Osborne SHOULD be watching the races today. Typical ... more »

GD2 stated "They have said if he doesn't get a lap down in A practice he'll get to ride B. I think that's an absolute joke. If he doesn't put in a lap in the practice he was seeded in he doesn't qualify, simple as that." A 3 digit rider, who's bike wasn't ... more »

Again, thread is worthless without pictures !!!

This is my traveling toolbox that stays in the van. As stated, you shouldn't need to take the "Home" toolbox with you to the track. danclovin633 and KTM300XCW2018 submissions above are Toolbox Porn !!!!! . Damn it, this thread is going to cost me money,

Four-strokes are NOT better, they are given a ridiculous double-displacement advantage. These will go down as the dark ages of MX, being that MX Sports keeps in place in professional racing that ridiculous "Double-Displacement" rule, inadvertently killing

Wouldn't it be cool to race the 125cc class at one track, and the 250cc class somewhere else, on the SAME DATE? ........ ... . ..Just like the olden days? Permit only 1,000 spectators, park 6ft apart. . I wonder if any of these "prima donnas" would show ... more »

2019 Giant Reign SX1, 27.5 / Plenty of miles with COVID-19 lockdown in Pennsylvania. Gyms and MX tracks closed, so this is my "Social Distancing".

It’s never fun to get in a crowded commercial airliner. Maybe something good will come out of this COVID-19 predicament? Professional football teams and European soccer teams travel in a team jet. That way you’re only at the mercy of the “weakest link”,

A few years back there was a good interview with Cole Seely where he details how ridiculous and expensive the whole Loretta Lynn's amateur program is. It causes kids to not race local events, stay novice for extended lengths of time, and makes the parents ... more »

AND, Chad Reed often beat 3rd place by 25 seconds or more. He never quit training to be the best. I didn't like Chad in 2002 when he whined, " I should be racing the 250cc class". He WAS, except he was racing a 250cc in the 125cc class. Chad Reed certainly

Here's some of my shots from the 2007 MXdesNations @ Budds Creek !!!

The whoops weren't the problem, hitting them in 4th gear was. Track design in that area was poor. There WAS another sand whoops section they eliminated after practice. Why?

I'm certainly not an expert, but you can fit three full-size motocross bikes, small toolbox, gear, and gas cans, in a regular length Ford E150 van, if you back one bike in the center. Be sure and mount the bench seat close to the front seats.

Had this Ford Boxvan from 1987 - 1996, then purchased the white one. Now, I'm just driving a regular E350 and miss the boxvan every time I go riding. Thanks for all the terrific pictures !!!

madmaxperformance stated, "Should put tough blocks down the middle line before the mains. Force the riders to the sides instead of down the middle chewed out spot." No. Don't forget, timed practice forces everyone to ride ONE FAST LINE all afternoon.
