A Yz250? I hate 4 strokes, but we had a 96 XR200, which we called our slut bike. We also had a 92 KTM 250 that was my Dad's Enduro bike, it was the biggest pos ever. I actually tried to race it at a Club Moto Friday night race when my regular 250 was ... more »

I rode Yamahas for days, imo the 1996 yz250 was the perfect 250 to move to after riding 125s. Great suspension, handled great, and the motor was kinda weak and didn't have much hit to it. In 1998 I got a Bright Red Dodge Dakota sport 4×4 extra cab with

Pastrana just took his shirt off! Haha in all seriousness James is getting better and better by the week with this podcast.

Unfortunately he'll be put in protective custody with others like himself and not gen pop. Would be cool to see a co get "confused" and put him in the yard at the same time as the guys in gen pop are there. Whoops....

Agree with Clowers. Also would like it if he had on some of the old school fmx guys. Mad Mike, Clifford Adoptante, and Linkogle would be interesting to hear.

Fro all day long. He was the epotime of cool and style without having to bleach his hair or pierce his nipples...what dude does that? Or Christian Craig because his wife is smoking hot.

Emig is better than both. Broc is too monotone and Ricky is always tripping over his words and doesn't have a very good vocabulary.

I'm sure a lot of of people can do your job, whatever that maybe. Not many people can race a dirtbike for a living their entire life. Your bitterness and jealousy of Alessi is plainly obvious.

Pastrana has one too, but he could probably write a part 2 from everything he's accomplished since. McGrath's was ok but he seemed to be sucking himself off a little too much in it imo.

I hope so. He was obviously tough as nails and reading some of his posts when he was in pain broke my heart. I have a few older mx buddies in chairs and seeing their late night rants on FB make me feel like a little bitch for things I complain about, ... more »

RIP my fellow Norcal buddy. Didn't he use to work for Vital before?

My girl drives an Acura MDX which requires 91 octane at $6.75 a gallon and gets horrible mileage around town. My Diesel is $7.29 a gallon and gets horrible mileage around town as well. I do live in rural Humboldt County, CA and the 101 is a long, windy, ... more »

Hippy?

Props my brother. I've raced every track in Norcal BUT Hangtown, I know and heard of way too many guys getting hurt there back in the day. My Dad always tried to get me to race there, but I flat out refused. Obviously I would've if I ever went pro. But ... more »

How do you figure that? He got rundown by both Anderson and Tomac, let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

He is ill on the mic! So he should be ok, he even wrote a song to Suzuki with his boy Merc. https://youtu.be/0X0LCod3TL0 In all seriousness he needs to get off that bike and maybe pull a Wilson or Barcia next year and go the privateer route and wait ... more »

When did "race craft" become a saying? Also "kits?" Both are so lame. Damn I miss the old days

Cry me a river. Everyone races the same track. No wonder these guys are terrified of Supercross.
